Don't bring up 
because it's not as strong as people may think it is. It might be good on tankmo, but burst mages get the the short end of the stick when it comes to shredding tanks. Even assassins do a better job at that. I think that giving an item the passive "Your damaging abilities do 8% of the targets current health as bonus magic damage" would not be a bad idea for an offensive magic damage item.
WalkingInACircle2 votesLiandries should lose its CC requirement for its full % damage. I don't understand why its there at all.
PePsiLemoNN2 votesWoa it's like mages aren't supposed to kill tanks. I'd suggest an item that deals 98% of target's max health in magic damage (point and click 5k range active) if we're at it.
Newbib211 votesYou know in a perfect world (say, the rift) where you can choose who you fight and pick your champion, that's great, but tanks are GREATLY overpowered in the Howling Abyss, especially if you are on a team composed entirely of mages and the enemy team has even just 2 or 3 tanks. It's virtually impossible to win in a situation like that, because like they said, mages don't have ANY real options when it comes to dealing with High-health foes.
What Riot could do is make an item that is similar to Warmog's Armour, except that it deals percent health damage only if the target's max health is over a certain threshold, maybe 3000. Nobody wants to have an insta-kill item. What they want is to be able to deal damage enough to kill these massive tanks without having to have 5 people against the one. The only mage who has anything close to that is Veigar because of his essentially limitless potential for AP stacking, which actually just amounts to MASSIVE damage (more than any other mage can put out).
ZapMyHeart1 votesI think mages need better MPen items.
Liandries was supposed to be a niche for the more DPS/utility mage in conjunction with 
, but even burst mages are now stacking the MPen trinity (
, , 
) in their build to offset how strong MR items are.
Dani El Pezglobo1 votesNerf letality, nerf tanks , nerf marksman , as a main mages i think the problem isnt mages, is the fact dat riot buff tank items , assasin items , and crit items , making AP itemitation much worst.
Remenber how no one complain about how expensive rabaddon is before 
got cheaper
Ahris1 votesSome assassins get blade of ruined king and black cleaver that allows them to duel tanks while apc don't have the kind of luxury.
