Why Do The Master Hive Items Need Changing?

Just as the title states, can someone explain to me why the Master Hive Items need to be changed for the elemental revamp?

 

Erm the element revamp got cancelled due to community feedback.

 

I heard it was getting cancelled but then found out some of the changes are still going to happen such as hive items they are just “delayed”.

 

The existing Hive armors are pretty bad, and cover four of ten possible combos.

 

I understand the second point and that's what I really like about the idea is adding more of the possible combinations. What I don't get is basically just taking the hive armors there already are and changing what piece they are, I know they are gaining some new ids but just give those to the existing armor. The other main problem I see with is with the negative skill points and higher reqs, in my opinion only being able to use one in a build is a better way to keep them in check.
