After 7.31d we finally got a nerf to BKB- and it changed nothing. The item is still being bought 1st or 2nd item on every single carry, and nearly every game has 4 purchased minimum. The item needs drastic changes in my opinion, and this design I have here is completely shifting its identity as an item in an attempt to diversify the item and reduce the amount of heroes that would purchase it total. In lore and in gameplay flavor, I want the BKB to go back to its roots in who purchases it- historically, before it was a must have on nearly every core hero, the item was bought by frontline initiators and channel heroes exclusively. I like the idea of the item being more than just "press it and win" or "don't press it and lose", so I've given it an activation delay and a far lower cooldown and duration, so it could be used 2 or maybe even 3 times in a teamfight. So the way that you use it is far more important because you don't have 9 seconds of duration, and can't rely hitting it to bail you out for the majority of an engagement. Let me know what you think! I suspect this will be very controversial, and there's a lot more about it different than what I talked about here.
