Riot, about Mages...

Lord Boltrix·Nov 14, 2015·9 votes·729 views

I've seen a lot of complaints about mages being shafted, I don't need to go into a lengthy discussion bringing up every single point, nothing I say here hasn't already been said, and I try to remain objective through everything.

Honestly, I feel that with the changes made, mages could also benefit from more choices of items, with more avenues to CDR (considering CDR is to mages as attack speed is for marksman) and exploring new avenues to promote them, possibly without having to go to each mage and giving them a tune-up.

Looking back at the Black Market Brawlers items, many of them were nifty and cool and a good number of them had CDR and were designed for mages, perhaps bringing a few of them back might be what Dr. Mundo ordered?

I would definitely like to see some of the Brawlers items come back into play, specifically Staff of Flowing Water, Martyr's Gambit, and the Murksphere line. When I looked at the mode's replacements for Morellonomicon (Lost Chapter, Netherstride Grimoire, Rite of Ruin, and Pox Arcana), my immediate thought was that they might introduce these permanently as part of a plan to entirely phase out Grievous Wounds, having come from the then-recent removal of Executioner's Calling. I still think that is a healthy move for Riot to make, and they would be a welcome addition to the lineup of mage items.

I think so too, they could still make mages a viable option, personally I think they should remove rabadons. Rabadons is kind of like mana pots. bt at the same time, mages are supposed to be bursty and rabadons adds that. I like that APC Isnt so standard at mid anymore though. maybe APC can go jungle or bot lane. and have bot lane go middle for more objective control

Well the new Mejais is better than before and a very viable option atm so theres that. I do think however that they should bring some items from BMB. Specifically the one who interacted with the river and the Puppeteer (make it a viable choice for AP mages)

They already included item 3744 if you mean that.
