What's the point of even purchasing Banshee's Veil?

item 3102 back in the days used to be one of the prioritized protection item for squishy Assassins & Marksmen. Now with item 3814 being included into the game, Banshee just feels lackluster to buy at all. So far the only time I get to see this item being built is occasionally for Tanks who needs more MR besides item 3065 , or non-AD champions like Ryze Cassiopeia although item 3001 is still a better item to purchase.

I don't know if Banshee itself is still fine or not, but if it isn't, can we get to see something like an increase to its stats or a cooldown reduction to the spellshield? At least something that can differentiate it better than EoN.

item 3001 is not a better choice when going up against Blitzcrank or anyone else who has lethal cc as a squishy who a ton of health isn't viable on

I get it when going against Veigar

EoN requires set up and premeditation and anticipation and use within a small window. Banshees is up perpetually and provides nice def stats.

They have enough differences from one other as is.

Banshee's hasn't been good for anything in forever.

Even before EoN was introduced it was a shit item that nobody built.

Basically.

EoN was a horrible addition to the game.

Only offers a bunch of overlap and powercreep.

People pretending edge is why you don't buy banshees when banshees wasn't being built WAY before edge was even here.
