So they generally don’t, for example, test builds that use rare/rare MIs. Because those are mostly not realistic to obtain.

• new ascended items :
  With this new feature, you’ll dilute even more the affixes pools. You don’t need a perfect item, you’ll need a double ascended perfect item.

All of those combined, one “perfect” item from the base game is now requiring exponentially more drops of the base item to make it good.
That’s why we had the “Monster Frequent” update which boosted the MI drop by a significant factor, to prevent 100+ hours of boring grinding of the same boss to get the perfect item

To be clear, MIs cannot be Ascended. Only Common (white) items.

@Zantai

That is understandable, Monster Infrequents come with substantial baseline stats that common items simply cannot compete with.

For this reason, Ascendant Mode will grant all common items a chance to Ascend. Ascended items will roll a third affix that comes with many powerful and unusual bonuses.
