The PBE had an Abyssal Scepter rework several months ago. It changed the passive to reduce the enemy magic resist by a percentage over time. I really liked it, it punished an overexuberance of MR. What happened to it?

Do you know how much better Kat would be with the rework? She suffers past 30 minutes because the enemy team builds magic resist and she can't get resets.
1374342 votesShe wouldn't have been much better with the reworked scepter, probably worse. It was one pulse every 4 seconds reducing their MR by 15% stacking 3x. The enemy needs to have at least 133 MR for one pulse to equal/greater than live scepter MR reduction, and Kat is not hanging around next to an enemy for 12 seconds to get their MR 45% lower. I'm not sure what the aura range was on the rework but it was obviously less than live considering it also did damage...I think it was similar to Sunfire's aura.
The rework was intended to push the item towards AP bruisers/tanks (e.g amumu, sej) who get in the middle of a fight and stay there. It was not intended for AP assassins. Hence the dramatically reduced AP (30 vs 70 on live) and the addition of health to the item.

Yes, because Kat will stand in the middle of a team for 8 or more seconds consecutively and is going to buy an item with only 40 AP.

Protokai1 votesi was looking forward to it as well i would go an ap tank champion and build rod of ages abyssal and sunfire and just watch the world burn around me XD
Abyssphere1 votesThey cancelled it because they didn't have an adequate replacement for the old version lined up and didn't want to close the gap in itemisation it filled.
