Rage is not being bought as often?

Those are good points Dev, just confirming that I recognized and acknowledged the reason for Qin's purchased 3rd in the sentence immediately preceeding that paragraph: "Part of this reason is because a bunch of items got health buffs and The Sledge came into existence and became the de facto core item for a bunch of gods." I stated that it was historically a later-game item, but not discounting the current reason.

Combine that with Kriega's point that Ata is more expensive than Exe was (and is less effective than old Exe) and you've only got a 250 gold spread between Ata and Qin's.
