I've notice that after they changes Sterak's Gage many patches ago it work extremely well with several champions that their win rates are among the highest ones.

It gives you RAW AD which added to your "base AD" not "bonus AD" which happened to combo perfectly with spell blade items like Sheen or Trinity Force.

At the time I often finished Sterak's Gage it gives me aroung 50-60 AD on most champions which is higher than B. F. Sword.

This is insanely gold efficient consider that it also provide tankiness and a barrier that is quite big because Triforce also provide some bonus HP as well.

These two items may not sounds very terrifying on themselves, but imagine if you play a jungler with fast and healthy jungle camp's clear and has opportunity to completely ignore your jungle item except Hunter's Machete so you don't have to spend ANY gold on jungle item's upgrade and focus solely to complete your "Sheen" then "Trinity Force"?

These guys manage to do JUST THAT
Xin Zhao Warwick Udyr Jax Skarner

and their win rates are SOLID for a very very long time now.

Spell Blade users own the jungle since the nerf to lethality and laugh in the face of every assassins except like Shaco (This guy's always good anyway) Kha'Zix and Nocturne which have been heavily buffed recently.

I am not *****ing about this because I like playing Warwick Jax and Udyr anyway, but I just notice that they have an UNFAIR advantage and can win so many games on themselves simply because they're both TANKY and deal LOTS of damage at the same time thanks to RIOT balancing team.

Not to mention that most of these junglers has built in sustain, CC, mobility and barrier in their kit and mostly use Press the Attack or Conqueror rune page which are probably the best runes right now.

If you deal HIGH DAMAGE you're not suppose to be TANKY.
If you're TANKY you're not suppose to ONE SHOT people.

This is my opinion and base solely on my experience and I'd love to see your opinion about how we should balance Sterak's Gage and not making champs that really need it became unplayable.

It seems Riot notice this issue too and they've patched Sterak's Gage.
Now it gives bonus AD instead of raw AD.
