It's definitely a welcome alternative to Ionian bootsto cap for cdr.

Depending on how early one builds this, this item could just undo the nerfs to ap mid Soraka though. Not sure I like that, but this will definitely help Sona out by giving more lee-way tostance dance more often for longer periods while making 2 of them more effective.

But that aside, the way I see it, if you are facing a light magic damage comp or a comp with little cc, then this item probably won't do you much good as a generic support. However, if the enemy team has a lot of cc and magic damage, you can build merc treads and this item, allowing the tank to build FH or preventing you from wasting gold on some excess armor vs magic comps in order to get to the cdr cap.

And I was JUST thinking the other day, "man, I think we need a few more combinations of cdr items so that supports are a bit more flexible in builds." Now we just need some more 5 cdr for the times we build Morello's or FH and don't want/need RO.
