Either fix mages or Delete them

At this point they're actually at an ok point, I would enjoy playing a mage, and by mage I mean brand ziggs, vel etc. Why bother though? When every ADC can pump out more dmg than me with actual mobility. Quinn, Graves, Corki have so much delete potential its bonkers. The damage creep is real, every AD champ can almost be called a Nuke.

I know everyone is gonna say its preseason, it will get fixed before the season starts. Yet I dont trust that it will get fixed, even if they crank back the AD champs. Its like the damage creep on Wrath of the Lich King at this point

They're not going to just say "it's preseason", they're also going to say "lol winrates", not being able to muster 2 neurons worth of brain power to figure out that the win rates are relative; they are what they are only because mages are still facing other mages. Sooner or later people are going to start playing other classes mid when they figure out mages are shit in comparison.

But they have been since pretty much season 3, regular mages took a backseat. Azir and Victor are mainly the only mages you tend to see, except for those random niche picks. Other than thats its utility or an assassin.

Yawn.

Mages are fine. They fill a different n role then adc's. If you can't figure out the difference that is on you for being retarded, not the class of mages. Which by the way is divirse and can many different play styles.

Uhmm malz, brand, anivia and swain are sitting at a pretty abnormal high win rate. DoT mages are the thing right now and are a little bit too strong if anything (maybe not as obnoxious as adc) but still really strong. The only thing about mages is that if you fall behind early, you generally tend to be left behind unless you start scoring double or triple kills back to back.

DFT+DoT is why these champions are as strong as they are right now.
