At first I thought Maw and Hex were the problem

Then I realized the actual problem. Where the hell is the mage itemization? I see nothing to counter AD mids at all.

"But OP you're stupid we have the extremely strong item that counters AD mids because of the armor."

Yeah totally I mean look how gold efficient it is and how it doesn't set a build path off from every main build that a mage wants." Zhonya's = AP Maw amirite guys?

But seriously when in the hell are we getting some good item paths as mages? Tired of getting rekt on by one specific item that mages should also have a counterpart for aka hexdrinker.

I would absolutely love a mage item that gives Armor and an AD only shield with some decent magic pen and AP.

Almost like AD mids are either an adc or an assassin, meaning they have to 100-0 one person and die for it in teamfights because they have to run in, potentially failing to get the kill as an assassin, and adc's require you to let them auto you and not cc them. Almost like AP mid laners can just stay in the back and insta burst someone like Syndra, Lux, Veigar, or TF.

Cool thanks for stating the niche's of each champion. You want to tell me why mages don't have protection against AD's now, but they have protection against mages?

I don't understand why you think AD mids or Assassins don't have poke like mages when they obviously do. Zed for an example. Poke, itemization, assassin, safeness.

Another statement contradicting your argument is ADCs being able to have protection but Mages not, even though assassins are literally meant to kill them both technically but only the ADCs can have that protection not mages.

Zed has poke, he's also very squishy who has 1 dash ability only. Meaning he can get ganked right after he uses W, especially now that they nerfed its CD. Mages have protection from ADC's, its called your frontline, they do the same to assassins. You can't blame a role when your teammates aren't doing the right job. Mages can one shot carries if they land one skill shot, ADC's need to auto multiple times, assassins have to dive in risking the chance of being CC'ed and blown up in the duration because they have no zhonyas. There are more risks being an assassin, especially as they can't carry well late game like a Veigar or Syndra can.

Mid Year Mage Update

It's Riot's plan to...well...update mages in the middle of the year. This will most likely include the single-minded itemization for all mages along with special attention to the struggling immobile mages that are sitting at the lowest win % of all the champion classes

Imagine what they did to ADC's for the preseason and that's what I think the MYMU will be for Mages
