* This item was removed because it was very rarely purchased on most {{as|AP}} champions, since it was better to build other raw {{as|AP}} items to try to burst down an enemy as fast as possible and they didn't had time to sustain. In addition, most {{as|AP}} champions have AoE damage, meaning the sustain was too small to make this item worth purchasing. On the very few champions it was purchased, it was known to cause balancing issues. In particular, {{ci|Vladimir}} forced this item to be balanced around his very existence, since he had WotA as his core item and could abuse it very well.

The latter is an {{as|AD}}/{{as|AP}} hybrid item both heal from any damage source, including {{as|true damage}}; however, the later is not abused by {{as|AP}} champions like Vladimir because it is significantly more expensive, has a worse build path for them, has wasted stats for them (like the {{as|AD}}), and lacks cooldown reduction.
