Can you just revert Abyssal Mask and Banshee’s or do something about it?
Because right now there’s almost no difference in building Abyssal or building damage items, since it boosts survivability and damage regardless.
I was watching Shiphtur’s stream and he was Taliyah vs a Viktor who built Abyssal first item. He used a full combo on the Viktor (with 33 MPen from Guise and sorcs too) who managed to out trade him to the point he was about to kill him. And Viktor’s one and only source of AP was his second augment. And he was at like 70% HP after the whole fight.
Shiphtur was like “yeah why build damage, just build defense, it’s league of legends” and he has a point: what’s the point in building damage and being easier to shut down when you can build defense and still deal shit ton of damage while being tanky?
This is exactly how I feel when i’m playing an AP mid vs abyssal mask abusers. Oh he’s building abyssal? GL killing him before you have 33 flat pen and 40% from Void. And even if abyssal has exactly 0 AP and damage outside of the aura (which is actually small), they just out trade full damage AP carries even if they are 1k gold ahead.
Tl;dr: swapping Abyssal and Banshee’s from their intended use was a mistake and the damage is so high that Abyssal is just like a full damage item simply for its passive.
