ARAM, where mages have ALL the mana they may need and where gold is abundant is the best show case of how uteerly broken magic damage is.
They only have to buy 2 items and boom, anything that isn't a tank is getting bursted down.
Physical damage dealers try to buy 1 or (god forbid) 2 magic resist items? Well they are a non factor since they don't deal any meaningful damage.
And people complain about any time they are nerfed...
are you shitting me? You got your balance views from aram. My god the level of stupidity
Mages are not one homogenous blob. Just like other classes they have some must bans and some worthless designs.
Well in aram it's litterally 2 lane sworth of space in a straight line. If champions with AOE werent strong in this mode then i dunno what is. Keep in mind i'm not defending mages here i also dislike most of the mages except a few that i play myself but logic is logic.
and 
work just find for me on any melee champ. you just have to pick when you go in on team fights wisely.
for squishy AD champs, 
and 
work really well too.
just don't go in randomly without your team lol
because aram, a game that specifically favours poke comps, is proof of how op mages are
lmffaaaaoooo
I played Cait vs full ap team+fiora today on one of my EU accounts ( imainlilsatan (EUNE)).
Contrary to what you claim I wrecked.
My build was:
( for the mr ) 
( for fiora and a little bit of pen ) 
Did allmost 60k damage. 22/7/18
Sure we had 3 ap in the team too but no one was even close to dishing out that much damage closest being 
with 38k.
Tell me again how having one mr item makes me do minimal damage.
Because I am the only person on my team ,winning or losing rests entirely on my shoulders.
That doesn't work well for me because if I build that I have 0 zero damage and have to count on others to build the right items (they always buy penetration as final item) and not be stupid (trying to 1v4 or 5).
The point is: mages only sacrifice damage if they build defenses (which they never have to since the best defense is a dead opponent) and even so they have massive utility and good inherent ability damage.
If an AD focused champ build defense (which they can't otherwise they literally deal no damage) they sacrifice damage, which is the only thing they bring to the fight. They don't have utility, no tankyness, no burst, nothing.
Compound that with subpar MR itemization since for armor you have 
while for MR you only have 
and most of these aren't MR+health which further diminishes their value.
Not to mention that AD damage isn't significant until you have 2 or 3 items and that's talking about an AD fighter or caster, ADCs need at least 2 crit items for that stat to even become efficient. And the lack of MR scalling (dont even try to argue that magic damage doesn't scale by itself) is cherry on this mud cake.
"Where mages have all the mana they need"
You mean being oom after 2 rotations? All they have is poke which AD and melee lack. Its not vel'koz having mana thats strong, is the unavoidable death ray or zigg's guaranteed 5 man ultimate.
Actually oit's the best place to show how ppl suck at tanking, charging in for the keels and leaving carries alone being farmed by their bruisers and assas.
