Anyone else think they should swap actives on Abyssal and Banshee's? (as opposed to stats)

Getting my info there; seems like Riot is swapping the stat lines on Abyssal and Banshee's for the mid-season update.


item 3102 Banshee's Veil - EXPERIMENTAL Banshee's Veil has had its stats swapped with Abyssal Scepter, aiming to put both items' unique effects on stat lines that feel more appropriate to them. Wanting to verify that this item doesn't become the dominant rush item for mid lane especially, though rushing should be acceptable in some cases if it is a situational decision based on champion/matchup. Cost: 2900g (845g upgrade) Build Path: Fiendish Codex, Negatron Cloak, Amplifying Tome Effects: +60 Ability Power +60 Magic Resist +10% Cooldown Reduction Unique Passive: Grants a spell shield that blocks the next enemy ability. This shield refreshes after no damage is taken from enemy champions for 44-8 seconds based on level.

item 3001 Abyssal Scepter - EXPERIMENTAL Abyssal Scepter has had its stats swapped with Banshee's Veil. This should be a more appealing unique effect for tanks, and it helps to round out the decisions players make around Magic Resist itemization. Cost: 2800g (880g upgrade) Build Path: Spectre's Cowl, Negatron Cloak Effects: +300 Health +70 Magic Resist +100% Base Health Regeneration +10% Cooldown Reduction Unique Passive: Nearby enemy champions take 10% more magic damage.


I dunno about y'all, but I would MUCH rather they swap the actives than the stats. It's sort of a preference thing, I guess. I wanted to get a poll going for people, but boards keeps giving me an error. I guess we'll just have to discuss the old fashioned way...

Banshees shouldn't be an AP item that grants a spellshield because champions like Veigar and Xerath who need to be cc'ed in order to prevent them from stomping a teamfight can just abuse this. Zhonyas is already a valid option for AP burst mages like these and having two items that provide a powerful defensive stat along with MR and AP would just be broken. The reason edge of night exists, however, is that because assassins don't have enough utility to avoid these CC chains, hence why it is here

tho im probably wrnog im silver xd

I'm moving this post, cause I mis-typed majorly. But thanks for feedback! I linked the new one and I'll pull this down soonish after you have a chance to move over to the new one.

Neither of these items have actives.
