Does anyone else not like the Abyssal + Banshees change?

I like it the old way better.

New banshees just feels like a way better Eon and is SUPER annoying. And i dont really like the bonus Magic Damage on tanks, especially if im say .

Anyone else feel the same way or no?

You're playing Darius, but you have issues dealing with AP tanks? o_O

Scepter on Darius

Tanks lost BV and Scepter is not a good replacement. Tanks did, however, get Helm. The issue is tanks needed to gain an MR item instead of replace.

The saving grace is magic damage is in a terrible spot.

Tanks really shouldn't have bought old banshee's beil anyway. It was a trap item in almost every scenario.

The shield was a longer CD which meant that it was much less reliable, there were other MR items that were much better, etc.

The good: Banshees is crazy good for just about every AP caster in the game. Gives AP Casters lots of new options and makes it harder to blow them out easily. Abyssal is a fantastic tank item with a super strong passive that helps tanks stay relevant.

The bad: Banshees possibly too good. Replacing Nomicon in meta builds. Most tanks will prioritize other items because of defensive stats, so Abyssal is just not getting build like it should.

**The ugly: ** WTF is up with Ancient Coin? How did they think this was a good idea?

I like the change. Also, if you read their reason for switching these up, it makes a lot of sense.

The only way the abysal scepter aura made sense is if it had the radius increased. Unless you're like Fizz or Kat, you're not trying to get all up on the enemy's lap to try and kill them so the passive wasn't as effective as it could have been.
