Rebuttal is a incredibly cool item, but in the current item system it's quite hard to justify since it is one of the few 800 items that doesn't upgrade. Staggering Parry is an upgrade from Rebuttal that aims to make parries useful against heros that stack debuff resists, which in turns makes parries ineffective. For example, an ulting yamato with any additional form of debuff resist effectively ignores parries altogether, making the entire counterplay against punches nonexistent.
