Not priced, because Riot sells no single-stat item for life steal — so this figure covers the rest.

Why, in Riot's words
When you find yourself forced to rush a QSS to survive an enemy Malzahar, Warwick, or just a team with heavy CC, it's still usually in your best interest to complete this item last. Even then, you still may feel like you're giving up more power than you can afford due to the meager stats that the item gives on completion. We're looking to make sure the item still feels appropriately tuned while keeping a focus on the active as its main strength.
