They should rework this item to make it more interesting/appealing. It'd be cool if instead of the shield, it worked like Kassadin's where it gained charges per nearby hostile spell/ability cast. And with every charge gained you gain a certain amount MR, but after a certain amount of stacks the charges are expended, losing the bonus mr, for a temporary magic shield or an AoE (like Sion). The expending of charges could be automatic or active.

Either this or make it build into something else. It's not that great late-game and it sets you back too much in gold for most other general builds if you get this early; which I believe may be why it's not bought (I've never seen it, tbh).
