In the Vanilla version of Diablo 3, I would frequently find gear that had an effect of increasing the percentage chance to find magical items. Well I took a long break from the game, but returned after patch 2.0 changed the loot system dramatically. Upon coming back and playing for a couple weeks, I have yet to encounter a single piece of rare loot containing an additional chance to find magical items. I see plenty of effects for additional gold find and experience, but not magic find.
I did however see someone get a legendary that increased the chances of finding magic items dramatically, so I know it is not totally gone from the game, and helmets can still be socketed with a topaz to increases chances. Have they just severely lowered the chance of this effect?

The general magic find affix has been removed from the game. So rares and magical items will never boost magic find anymore.
There are still a few legendaries, such as the Nagel Ring, that boosts magic find.
Overall, the effect of magic find has become less useful in RoS as there is a penalty applied to it for legendary tier items for Patch 2.0+.
