I'm a little suspicious that this isn't the AD caster buster item that Riot is trying to indicate it is as well.

It offer a total of 40 AP and 45 armor, eventually builds in zhonya's, it's quite cheap, and it makes going cloth 5 viable for ap mids. Sounds great, but flat armor has never been in worse shape than it is now.

I tend to think that it's biggest benefit will be to make going cloth 5 for ap mid more viable (when AD assassins have the least amount of armor pen). Meanwhile, items like Liandry's and Rylai's which offer HP and allow ap mids to leverage their passive to make spells more powerful (Liandry's = better harass, and Rylai's = slow your roll) are far better mid game items when your AD opponent has BC and can slice your armor up but is countered by hp a little more.
