the reason why this is better on TT than a straight port of Deathcap is because mages needs to develop quicker and need a wider range of mitigation options. bruisers are currently fotm on TT hardcore. Who do bruisers counter the best? mages. Bruisers shrug off mage CC and if they don't get killed in one rotation of spells they just stick to the mage and kill them before spells come off cooldown.

Mages need that unique passive to multiply their ap quicker, and having greater MS allows them to react quicker in lane.

That said, the new item gives them zhonya's ring back (with bonus armor to boot!), which is the best of both worlds.
