I wish there was a way to get decent spellvamp in this game for ordinary mages outside of one Rune

Because having to rely on getting KP on the enemy team is a pretty shitty route to go if you want to unlock basic sustain. And last I checked it wasn't very viable to go item 3146 on shit like Velkoz Xerath Karthus And then we have item 3010 which is an absolute joke of an effect that "restores" on average 5 HP per spell-cast with only things like full-on ultimates or outdated and overpriced spells restoring the maximum 25.

And to make players like us feel even shittier item 1055 item 3153 >>>>>Omniitem 3812Vamp<<<<<item 2140 item 3156 item 3139 item 3080 you get to see how AD champs get all kinds of options if they want to sustain themselves, even multiple Runes all granting on-hit healing. But if you want to have even the slimmest chance at having some sort of sustain while playing as a mage you have no other choice but to get Ravenous-Hunter and get at the very least 4 out of 5 of the enemy champs in your KP to unlock decent healing.

That doesn't seem fair at all, especially when the only argument I've ever seen for denying mages spell-vamp is because "Vladimir will abuse it!" Because that's fine, limit and fuck over an entire class because one balance abomination synergizes too well with an effect.

AP < AD

AD Champions are superior in most ways. Pretty sure that the only category AP wins is the ability to apply utility and crowd control. I WOULD say burst, but in all honesty, I believe that hybrid and AD based champions do more burst damage than burst mages. I guess the idea is that burst mages sometimes come with a utility but . . .

I mean let's be honest here, damage has been so far stuffed down our throats that you can practically see the crowning bulge of shit that is the balancing decisions coming out of our assholes. Damage is all that really matters when you can just blow somebody up before they can use anything.

its just different APs are not suppose to be sustain champs unless they have it built in

My guess is because ap items give hp. Sucks A LOT. ADs on general have more interesting stuff than ap ones will ever get.

Because mages arent built to be sustain champions unless that is there kit. Vlad is actually broken if played right the sustain from his kit is boonkers, akali is fine now but she was boonkers too, Kat with gunblade is cancer. Having burst along with lifesteal isnt fun or fair to play against, giving mages it for free isnt even reasonable either.

... Yesterday i just played 2 times vs a Viktor who could spam his Q ( 40%CD capped bf lvl 13 with item 3025 in the build ) and autosustain himself with 3 ppl on him ( DrMundo ,Gragas ,Thresh ), while they do not excell in dmg seeing him healing over 3 ppl dmg and shielding himslef every 2 sec was simply stupid. With an E on minion wave he could go from 10% Hp to almost half HP bar.

Also SV is seriosly problematic for champ like Vladimir and Akali

item 3146 is omni-vamp, which is why its popular on hybrid champs, item 3812 is physical vamp
