His ult's range far outranges the new Abyssal scepter. If I really want the MPEN I think I will now consider Haunting Guise. Also Mordekaiser kind of needs Lich Bane anyway, so he can always get some extra MR from a NMM. The MAIN reason for this Abyssal nerf (I think) is to reduce the tankiness of the mid lane nowadays. The mid lane play is currently very bland; it involves shoving the lane at range, then counterjungle/gank/dragon. The Abyssal nerf is (supposed) to lower mid laners' choices on itemization on MR. | ||

If they really think abyssal as an item is a problem,than they should just fucking remove the mr debuff,buff the ap amount you get,leave mr as it is and make a new item with the mr shred. | ||

Now Morde's E barely outranges abby aura and ult doesn't work at max range. I guess they used Ryze's range as the lowest common denominator and said "Hey, let's make the aura range juuuuust below his lowest range spell!". | ||

Sure it's bit expensive without that effect, but if you need the stronger MR/AP...... | ||

Fizz TF historically build lich bane in lane yea but nobody else. Yea people get mercs sometimes but again,not really. The only mr items that people consistently buy in mid lane is chalice and abyssal.Would it really hurt so much if we had another item? | ||

The point of rushing it is to jump in, do some big combo or delayed effect, then jump out. Ahri doesn't do that. | ||

The only mr items that people consistently buy in mid lane is chalice and abyssal.Would it really hurt so much if we had another item? Building QSS as the second item is a very good choice (imo) in many situations. QSS renders a lot of mid laners ultimates completely useless, such as Fizz, Mordekaiser, Vladimir, Malzahar, as well as making Cassiopeia very miserable. Not to mention this is the go-to item as Skarnar runs wild these days.

The item is not dead. Sure it's bit expensive without that effect, but if you need the stronger MR/AP...... The only incentive to build the item is the aura. The other individual stat gains aren't worth actually upgrading from Negatron+Blasting Wand for, particularly as every AP has other uses for Blasting Wand.

Except it's a two-sided coin, because as a flat MPen item, it fits the power curve of burst casters with high base damages better than sustained casters (that typically have a power curve aimed at later points in the game--where flat MPen is a less effective stat). | ||

I don't see what's wrong about this,if you build mr you can't be killed and in return you'll have a hard time killing your opponent.We see much more roam this way and plays being made in other lanes. I personally see no fun in watching Kassadin and leblanc trying to see who can one shot the other guy first. | ||

The problem though is that when everyone feels like getting Abyssal because it's so cost-efficient and useful, overall its worse off for the burst casters because the MRes gain is greater than the MRes reduction aura. The range reduction should still mean most burst casters can get the effect of the aura but it's not an immediate "must buy" item on everyone. Although I think 600 range might be a bit low. 650 would have been nicer.

Except the current version of Abyssal offers a great itemisation pathway to countering burst casters in lane and at the same time when you complete it your immediate increase in damage is comparable to a DCap rush for most casters iirc. | ||
