what prompted that dd change????
Item has significant overlap with BT, and generally is stat-ed in a way that makes it too squishy for most fighters/bruisers to reasonably consider in all but extremely snowballed games (which botrk is moving into with it's melee mod). Believe moving it to a more hybridized offensive/defensive profile serves the item system better. Resists also synergize with lifesteal and the raw health items fighters tend to build.
its not shipping 10.5, we'll be tuning it further since right now its almost certainly too pushed for testing
