The effects are somewhat un-synergistic with each other. The debuff is situationally nice, but better relegated to supportish champs since carries should focus on items to improve their effectiveness, not debuff enemies. And support champs do not benefit from the passive stats at all, making them a complete waste. Secondly, the champs it works well against tend to not be carries themselves, making them a lower priority for debuffs. Lastly, it doesn't build into anything else, which is possibly its worst feature, since its stats are too low late game to justify keeping.

Take an item like Catalyst, which provides an amazing benefit in laning (good early game) and builds into an amazing late game item in Banshee's Veil.

If Riot wants to see more people use this, they would have to either change its stats to benefit support/tanks, or have it build into something useful.
