Even against assassins it has its strengths, especially with that new AD assassin item,. The old wouldn't be able to shield a delayed nuke for as great of an amount as the new one can.

Many assassins work with delays, especially if were to, say, negate a portion of their burst with. They wouldn't be able to eat through the initial shield very fast with a majority of their damage on cooldown so the shield would be effectively greater, as it would likely return to Lux by the time the assassin had their abilities up.
