Hextech Protobelt

I'm aware this item is getting nerfed, but... Why does it exist at all?

Immobile mages had strengths revolving around their lack of mobility... Giving champions like Annie Evelynn Vladimir and Swain extra mobility in their kits completely removed their main weakness: short range.

Not to mention the great stats on the item, the extra damage the missles do or the fact that there are plenty of champions WITH dashes that can abuse the item as well. Ever seen it built on Diana or Fizz? It's disgusting.

Every game I play that has this item in it I find myself asking the same question: who thought that fighting mobility with extra mobility was a good idea, and why?

the problem with proto-belt is not the mobility it gives. it is the missile nova doing too much damage, especially when you can hug the target.

proto-belt's missile nova should do 0 damage. then, proto belt can be balanced around being a mobility tool, rather than have half it's power budget go towards being a poor man's DFG.
