I missed why they made Aegis useless

What was the purpose for removing 3 key factors for those items? Banner is.....ok but the other one....holy crap you'll never see me build those items. Talk about an over-nerf. Lost HP, MR, Aura, and CD

Because it was so much better in almost every case that it was often dumb to not build it so they wanted to force people to build other things

Basically what this guy said. Hopefully they continue onward with other niche pick items like item 3071 and item 3742 which i still see as the dominant AD or tank(the latter mostly) based item snatch ups to just shred enemies armor and still get away with what flat armor penetration did before it became lethality, snowball a trade by ripping off alot of Armor with ease, especially with champions ( Darius ) who can easily apply the stacks in a short burst window thanks to a combo of abilities. The latter being due to easy mobility grab for tanks/fighters, causes them to easily snowball on thru with a good old roam at extremely short speeds especially combined with tier 2 boots.

In alot of situations i tended to find Aegis of Legions in its older state to be such a powerful support item against AP heavy teams or slap it on a champion like Soraka support for the old item 3060 , be my pocket item to be throwing out minion promotes in the same sense as item 3512 portal, except that promoted minion would make any magic damage champion annoyed to clear out the thing, give a good middle finger to that same champion if they try to jump on me and i could easily health regen it back while i go help my team or just throw up another promote while i get on the way back.

Seriously, late game when you throw up a promote on a siege minion can pretty much easily dominate a lane push long as the enemy team pays no attention to the promoted minion before its pushed all the way back up easily.
