No, They replaced Abyssal Scepter with Abyssal Mask because far too many Mid laners were rushing Abyssal scepter to counter the opposing AP mid laner. It gave ability power, magic resist, and magic resist drop aura along with the boots and magic pen items that ap champs could buy the champion that could make use of it could do true damage to opposing mid laners especially if they got ahead. It was basically the better item compared to Hexdrinker for AD champs that was far better offensively than even Maw when fully upgraded and gave enough resistances that it didn't need a magic damage shield on top of aplifying all magic damage.
