That feel when riot just massively buffed the whole ap itemization

{quoted}

Nope. Look around, people have been complaining about this. I just saw someone that they said their Syndra went OOM in a very short game. Sure there's more mana but mages are still going OOM because of NO MANA REGEN. Deathcap is not worth the price, 5% buff is very small and won't be built very often because it's a late game item and, because Riot likes these short, crazy games, a lot won't be getting to late game either. That new item won't appeal to some mages, as they need other choices. Multiple posts of complaints on how they nerfed stuff. Things were buffed in CDR, which was what we did not need because we already have an overload of that crap. Morello's was changed horrifically, among multiple other items like , which had it's health taken out and now the main users like ASol and others who used it for that sole reason, can't anymore.

I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm agreeing with a whole bunch of people on here that this itemization was just a huge nerf, just like the last one they did. Riot doesn't know how to balance our stuff, and it's blatantly obvious each time they do it.

Glp doesnt have health wow... Except theres 4 items with ap + hp now, , poor aurelion literally nothing to build at all! KAPPA

It's stronger because you no longer have to make a choice between mana and cdr versus the power of the Luden's proc. Before, you had to spend 2900g on Morello before you could really think about buying Luden's, which was another 3200 gold. So you're talking 6400-7200g (with boots) before realistically expecting to get that proc.

Now you're talking 3600-4400g to get the proc, mana, cdr, and boots. It's an enormous boost to her early poke and kill pressure.

As support it's a little different but still better. Assuming you build Frostfang > boots first, you then had to choose between mana, cdr, and item effects (liandry's, zhonya's, or luden's). Now you can pick up luden's or GLP second, and you're CDR capped around level 10-13 (with transcendence) and start picking up +19 AP on Zhonya's, Athene's, Twin Shadows, Ardent, and so on.

By your third item, you're getting 70-80 AP from utility items that cost 2100-2400g. Before, you really had to buy Morello to hit CDR cap before 3-4 items. Now you can hit that cap and have infinite mana as a side effect to building the item procs you want. It's actually awesome.

better anti tank item? don't make me laugh

the burn deals more damage as before if you're under 50% hp deals less damage if you're above 50% hp

good luck as a mage bringing down a tank under 50% hp

Liandry got nerfed against every target it's now more effective against tanks than squishies but it's not better than before against tanks

Sure, but now it’s a better designed anti tank Mage item and the burn can actually kill now since before it was only current health damage. So far, I’ve been having a good run with it. Course I only built it on Swain and maybe Sol, champions that want to use it.

I have yet to try the other items I’ll admit.

Try singed top. Oppressive lane-phase even pre-8.4 and the new passive on it makes him hit like a truck now.
