Mages' ap can reach 4 digits but ad champs will never reach it. Yet mr items give less mr than armor items give armor and there are so little options to get mr. And nowadays not getting %40 cdr is trolling so mages really are broken
AlienPrimate3 votesAP is higher for a reason. There are these things called AP ratios. Most AP ratios on mages are around 60% meaning that if they do happen to get to 1k AP, their damage scaling is still only 600 on something that has a moderate cooldown. Now we switch over to AD where crit exists. An ADC with 100% crit and in infinity edge has an ability (auto attack) that has 225% ad ratio on a .3 - .6 second cooldown and is targeted meaning it can't miss outside of things like Jax E and Teemo Q. Now imagine if an AD champion could get 1k AD. That is 2250 damage on right clicking.
ZT Xperimentor2 votesMages have still have cooldowns and mana costs, marksmen are only gated by attack speed which there's a rune to ignore that limit while buffing it 110% for 9 seconds. If you think magic resist is weak, try building armor against all AD teams lol.
Quikate2 votesIkr Going tank is useless anyways but that aside armor items feel more useful and has a lot more utility
