Can we do something about AP itemization please?

Aside from very few AP champions.

I don't think I have ever seen item 3174 or item 3050 bought on champions like Ahri Akali Anivia Annie AurelionSol Azir Brand Cassiopeia Diana Ekko Fizz Heimerdinger Karthus Kassadin Katarina Kennen Leblanc Malzahar Morgana Ryze Syndra Taliyah TwistedFate Veigar Velkoz Viktor Vladimir Xerath Ziggs

But you know what I do see built on these champions? item 3157 and item 3001 .

Lets first talk about AD + MR items vs AP + ARMOR items ( the ones that get used )

AD: item 3139 item 3156 item 3814 Three shorter Cooldown Actives

AP: item 3157

item 3814: realistically has a 20 second cooldown + a 10 second opportunity window item 3139: removes CC has a real cooldown 90 seconds item 3156: 90 Second Cooldown, passive: Works with other MR items you buy.

item 3157 : 120 second cooldown + stuck where you are

From just availability to usefulness; the AD counterparts are better. It takes special interactions for item 3157 to ever be better than any of those three. Aka; Swain, Kennen, Ryze, Anivia, etc. Something that just goes on during their stasis.

All that I am realistically asking riot or anyone from gameplay to do is come up with an item for AP mages to use aside from Zhonya's or with Zhonya's.

Its stats could be pretty bad.
But really; 120 second cooldown active item that depends on your team to clear enemies around you to be effective isn't as good as a shield item that scales with other MR items.

It doesn't need to give us stupid high amounts of AP something like 60 would cut it.

Something like.

60 AP 40 Armor Unique Active: Effect Last for 2 seconds, creates a shield around you for 10* Champion level + 20% of ability power

Cost: 2750

This way it makes people pick between the current AP mage item that is making everything feel like "this is a must have item" looking at you item 3165 or This item in order to survive champions that don't just have burst as a AD mage but have actual stick, such as Yi or Riven or Yas. Just saying. Because lets be 100% clear here; Zhonyas to a yi riven or yas mean absolutely nothing if no one comes to back you up.

Your complaining AP carries don't buy support items?
