You're extremely overreacting to the mage Items changes, they are meant to be Drastic.
Like INSANELY over reacting, these changes are tentative, these changes, were made to adjust to the changes a lot of mages are receiving, there is a lot of stuff, and I doubt 99% of you understanding nothing about how it works or why they implemented the changes. All you'll throw is "Fucking Dumb" "Riots Stupid".
You do realize these changes are being a month in advance and are super tentative? A lot of things are changing and some if not all the experimental items might not even be implemented. This level of drastic change is necessary , thats how you do tests, you push the limits of what you can, to see at what happy median you to get too.
So please, stop with the "Fuck you Riot, you're killing mages", its honestly kind of ridiculous, and goes to show how ignorant , and dumb this community can be sometimes.
P.S. All the item changes are going to fit with the mage changes, they didn't just not change any of the mages in how they work and expect them to use new items.
