Old Recipe: Kage's Lucky Pick + Hextech Revolver + 585 = 2550.New Recipe: Hextech Revolver + Faerie Charm + Faerie Charm + 440 = 2000.Old Recipe: Hextech Revolver + Faerie Charm + Faerie Charm + 440 = 2000.New Recipe: Hextech Revolver + Fiendish Codex + 480 = 2500.New Passive: Your abilities heal you for 15% of the damage dealt (calculated before your opponent's resistances) (5% for AoE).The latter is an AD/ AP hybrid item both heal from any damage source, including true damage however, the later is not abused by AP champions like Vladimir because it is significantly more expensive, has a worse build path for them, has wasted stats for them (like the AD), and lacks cooldown reduction. However, there are currently two items that come close, named Death's Dance and Hextech Gunblade. No actual replacement to this item has been made ( Vladimir has been reworked and rebalanced around the fact that Will of the Ancients do not exist).In particular, 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. On the very few champions it was purchased, it was known to cause balancing issues. In addition, most AP champions have AoE damage, meaning the sustain was too small to make this item worth purchasing. This item was removed because it was very rarely purchased on most AP champions, since it was better to build other raw AP items to try to burst down an enemy as fast as possible and they didn't had time to sustain.
