Cutlass/BotRK Nerf

BotRK is incredibly strong on a lot of champions.  It provides flat damage, % current health damage, lifesteal , attack speed and then an active that not only does damage and gives you a speed boost but slows down the opponent as well.

I believe that BotRK simply does too much.  It actually gives you More damage than a BT at many levels of health even without the active.  When you throw in the burst heal, burst damage, and kitting ability of the active, BotRK is simply too strong in my opinion.

Another problem is that BotRK has pushed other items aside.  It had pushed aside Trinity until the buff, it still pushes aside items like Wit's End as an on-hit and Gunblade as another cutlass option most of the time.

So, I suggest that the slow and speed up on the active of BotRK should be removed, at the Very least for ranged champions.  This would make BotRK into a damage/healing item instead of a damage/healing/kiting item.  (Removing the slow/speed from BotRK would necessitate the slow being removed from cutlass).

By making BotRK do less, other items can have a chance to shine without needing changes of their own like Trinity.
