So I have several champions I use the gunblade on, and have yet to play any, busy with others lol. So I was just wondering, how much has the gunblade suffered?

A lot. Only champions in designated "hybrid" roles can now use it effectively.

Disappointing. Used to be such a versatile item.

Used to actually be a good item for characters with AD scaling and low cooldowns such as Mordekaiser, Udyr, Corki. Basically anyone with low cooldowns, and some kind of AP ratios.

Exactly, used to be usable on most champions really. Increase in all around damage plus both spell vamp and lifesteal, it was a good item for many champions.

I guess, thats WHY they nerfed it...
Now its downgraded from "Youre dumb as hell if you dont grab it" to good on champs like Jax/Akali.
And if the old HTGB was good on some champs its now down to "maybe".
What I´m trying to say: You even could have considered getting it on Tryn... sends a shiver down my spine.

IMO its a focused Trinity.
If you benefit enough from all stats, it should be worth considering to spend that 4k.

It is true it used to be kinda OP ^^ I think the AD hit was a little harsh though. I assume it's to discourage AD carries such as Tryn or Master Yi from getting it. Plus it hit home on Akali.

Nah, a REAL Jax player (a fine one such as myself *cough* *cough*) can only sneer about it.
What somehow got us was the loss of Hp.
