Poke Mages

So, with tanks now being viable again, adc's still being the focus of the game, supports a necessity, and assassins needed to kill other assassins and enemy adc's. I wonder when the poke mages and less tanky mages will come back or what is needed to bring them back. champions like Nidalee can poke, but also has the cougar form to go all in I wonder when champions like Lux Ziggs Zyra TwistedFate Veigar Orianna will be viable again, or seen commonly. I think it is the lack of mobility, and how to poke skills are skill shots, with mobility countering them. There are a couple exceptions. Annie has a high damage instant stun. Velkoz has true damage which is good against the tanks.

Ziggs is already viable again since the item 3174 got buffed again. I am so happy, I love yordles and ziggs is my favorite!

Unfortunately, no. "Passive laners aren't fun, and strategic diversity means only champions we think are fun should be allowed" -Riot Rip: item 3174

With champions that can do tons of damage, survive the cc and damage like Vi Riven Irelia MonkeyKing, I don't think some mid-range poke mages can't be in this meta.

Vi : In a teamfight she ults that mage (Like Brand TwistedFate Fiddlesticks) and she can kill him with no problems (And sometimes the ADC too).

Riven : Just a tons of AoE damage (item 3074 + Q), mobility, CC, shields, and low CDs. You need a good support (Thresh Save me!) to survive.

Irelia : Really hard to CC her teamfights, sustain, and a powerful gap closer and that item 3078.

MonkeyKing : In late game he can easy kill a mid-range mage (Or an ADC) with his ult, and CC all the enemy team.

Anyways, they can be countered with high skill and a great teamplay, but that's hard to find in low-medium levels.

Poke is always going to be good because rotations are always going to be good
