Confirmed. Soon™
While the new BotRK did make people think twice about rushing Warmogs, I also thought BotRK was beyond over the top for the stats it gave (IMHO the 40% AS synergized with the passive very well, probably way too well lol). Not to mention, BotRK is very gold efficient, is cheaper than BT by 520 gold, and can be used by many champions. Lastly, people have been using this item to take down Baron faster (which meant that you had to have vision on Baron early on or you lose Baron, and lose the game early on). In fact, I've heard of 20 minute Baron takedowns just with 2-3 members of a team having BotRK. From a balance standpoint, that is not OK at all because that enables that one team to snowball further out of control beyond reach.
Thus, a hotfix/nerf was inevitable. I mean, I saw BotRK in all of my games that I played this weekend...X_X
I mean, I was even caught up in the BotRK fest myself too. I nearly got BotRK while playing Tristana in one game over the weekend (but got my core items - like IE and PD - first), and wasn't going for LW as my next item since no one on the opposing team was getting significant amounts of armor. Unfortunately, game ended before I could obtain BotRK.
