Why is Luden's Echo getting nerfed on PBE?

I thought it was "calculated" that it does little damage as opposed to Rabaddon?

Actually, I want to know the reason why. As a frequent user of the item, why is this item considered strong? I actually thought it needed a little buff as opposed to the single damage item (aka Lich Bane)

My guess is, they don't want every champ to see it as good buy.

My question is why are they specifically hurting spam-casters, which gears it more towards mobile champions who move a lot - don't they have enough advantages already?

It has a lot of abuse cases on mages that cast spells a lot, and the poke it provides gets super obnoxious at the later stages of the game.

If I'm not mistaken, one of the most prominent abusers of this item is AP Kog'maw, who can spam his ultimate to get near-infinite Luden's Procs on the enemy team and push them out without much retaliation, especially since he can use it from so far away. He's not the only abuser, but he's arguably the most prominent abuser that got buffed with Luden's Echo.
