Just why?
Not every AP champ has long range and thus Abyssal Scepter was the perfect item both FOR close range AP champs and AGAINST close range AP champs.
I loved it. It wasn't a phenomenal item to build if you were, lets say 
, but if you were laning against a 
and having issues this was a nice fall back.
Now it's almost solely a tank item. You have completely changed it's identity.
Ok sure but why1 votesRiot wanted an AP version of the Edge of Night
that's basically it right there
Hay5eed1 votesbut edge of night has
1.) Magic Resistance
2.) meh Attack Damage
3.) Out of combat movement speed
4.) Active that gives spell shield.
It's a nice item because it has some stats that are good for assassins (AD and movespeed) while giving some defensive tools
The old scepter was a good counterpart to this cause it gave
1.) MR
2.) Meh AP
3.) CDR
4.) Reduces magic resist of nearby enemies.
NOW the scepter provides
1.) 300 health
2.) 65 MR
3.) +100% base health regen
4.) 10% cdr
5.) nearby enemies take 10% more magic damage
This is no longer a mid lane mage item but instead either a tank item or an AP top laner item...can you really justify building this on an ap mage like Lux or Xerath or Anivia?
Ok sure but why2 votes
