Anti-tank mage items suck ass
If a team has 2 or more fatfucks on their team, then playing a mage against that team is literally hell
Lets have a look at all the anti tank mage items in the game
Sorc shoes - 15 flat MPen liandry's - 15 flat Mpen, 2% dot of current health, double if movement impaired Void staff - 35% Mpen
So one is pretty much mandatory on most midlaners, one is very situational and only works on certain champs AND has to be doubled up with Ryalis, and the last one is only good if the enemy tanks are actually stacking MR, but they never are, all tanks have to do is get a SV and they are usually golden vs mages, since most armor items also give health that is also an easy counter to magic damage too
Can we please have real options for anti tank items for mages, look at AD items it's a joke to compare them at this point, so much flat penetration where AD assassins are essentially running 70APen with there penetration items that give them even more damage to squishy targets anyway, why the hell is the only other buildable flat Mpen item a Haunting Guise and you have to spend a assload on the combine cost and the ruby you probably don't want, where pretty much every AD pen item builds from AD!
