Well Irelia's true damage on hit but that works too.

Not sure if you are trolling or serious oO. But ya I'm also salt over no ap on blues but it is what it is. The thing I don't like atm, is that mages only have one item option for armor ap. While ad champs have many choices. Give us another mag pen item or ap/armor item and I'll shut up. Sometimes u wanna make that gamble building Mejai to keep your snowball but that's usually a "kill me now" signal u send once enemy team knows you have 15 plus stacks

It's sarcasm.

Some mage mains have been complaining about how ''a mage build only gets them 5-600 AP where an AP build would've given then 800 AP before Riot ''Nerfed'' mages'' OP is calling people out of the bullshit they're complaining about.

Also, just as a sidenote, the Locket change was a pretty huge indirect buff to all mages/magic damage dealers across the board. People never mention that one.

Zhonyas? I can see where you're coming from, but the item is so through-the-roof valuable when used in correct situations. I'll stay neutral on it.

Why is it bullshit? Its a valid complain. I used to be able to hit 1200 AP on my late game glass cannon karthus.

Now in lucky to hit 900

Thats a huge dps/burst loss with no compensation.

Question is, why do you need 1200.

People haven't been able to reach 1k+ AP since Riot remade AA Staff into an item with a unique passive. That was a long time ago.

And ive been grumpy about the loss of AP on karthus since then.

He needs his AP ratios increased

AP ratio totals have been trending heavily downward since Season 1.

Except on Annie.

She got her ratios massively buffed and her base values neutered.

It's bullshit because assassins who aren't AP are struggling to do their job when mages are still able to one shot people from range even after the ap nerfs

I can play talon and an Orianna combo mid game does while i'm still cc'd yet my full combo does about 3/4 of her hp and i have to get in melee range

Neeko N Dime2 votes

Ime if u dont let her kill u pre 6, your lvl 6 all in will beat hers. U have stealth and a dash and that mobility alone should give u a free lane win. Worst possible outcome, u have to flash her ult in order to kill first

Doseqis1 votes

I'm sorry but are we playing the same game???? a free win in lane where she can free harass you with auto attacks push harder than you all while having more safety, stealth doesn't mean anything when her shield can absorb it and Q.

Maybe in an elo where mages let you get close to them assassins could be good but when your opponent can actually kite it's near impossible to consistently kill them as well as the fact you can't contribute to fights since you are a squishy melee

Akali is SO HOT8 votes

Because being able to have that much AP is stupid. Getting massive amounts of utility and cc and being able to use it from far range is good just by itself, but mages get that and massive amounts of damage. It's just stupid.

NineTailedMystic1 votes

If we wanted just utility and CC we'd play Support(s).

And you get damage.

But you get less damage than classes that only provide damage and are melee. Fair's fair, right? =)

what? i don't remember melees able to oneshot someone

except of course rengar and K6

Fizz with five damage items can one-shot a six-slotted ADC with one of those items being a guardian angel. And he can do it with the weakest version of his ult and W.

If he gets a max ult and full power W it's not even close.

With that said, yeah some mages are able to one-shot people from range far easier than melee assassins can. I mostly just wanted to illustrate the stupidity of mage mains.

Because every other classes' players aren't stupid. /s

NineTailedMystic1 votes

Sure, as long as I can still Burst people. =)

Ahristocats1 votes

mages have the highest burst in the game, from range, combined with utility

even ahri has a ranged 2 seconds weird taunt, on a low cooldown thanks to riot giving 40% cdr to everyone

tell me more

NineTailedMystic1 votes

2 second Charm if she maxes it second, and Charm is a static 12s CD. It doesn't scale with rank, so with 40% CDR, it's still a 7.2s CD which is pretty acceptable downtime on her skillshot CC.

Neeko N Dime1 votes

That is debatable tbh. Zed is bursty, talon, even jayce (broken for months now), I mean a lvl 3 panth can practically one shot any non tank champion. Mages u have syndra of course, cass somewhat, veigar, etc. I wouldn't really lump ahri into this category though tbh. U really gotta hit everything in order to 100-0 and even then I don't really consider it burst since the time it takes can be long compared to zed all in for example. She does do dmg but when she hits 6 u rarely are going to full HP combo your opposing lamer without whittling their HP down with a few q pokes previously. Sry for the novel but ya there's burst on either end of the spectrum imo. I mean even rengar when reworked would be able to oneshot off his ult into q if he had a lead. I forgot to include ryze but I ban him every chance I can so he somehow slipped my mind xd

Neeko N Dime1 votes

I will say that mage supports do have hands down better itemization (spellthief, coin) over ad based supports which is none xd.

Jorencice2 votes

My mage is karthus. I had no ulitiy or CC.

I want more AP because killing people before they can kill him is how karthus functions.

Akali is SO HOT2 votes

Karthus wants to die in fights tho

Karthus is utility just by existing. You have to play around him whether you focus him or not because of his passive, so he's constantly zone controlling just by existing. Not to mention a well placed wall of pain is super strong. And no matter what late game, you're pressing R on Karthus to do 2.5k-3k damage to the entire enemy team at some point.

Sahn Uzal5 votes

First off, y'all got more CDR.

Also, you should look at the bigger picture. Yeah, total AP may have gone down. But mages are not the only class that got their itemisation changed. Coughs in Lethality Coughs in Lord Domniks vs Tanks

True, Hexdrinker and Edge of Night was a massive buff to mages.

nah, item 3165 > item 3089 if ahead, and I mean even slightly ahead or not at all ahead, fk it, Ori doesnt need extra wave clear, trust.

nm10102 votes

Movespeed + higher burst poke + cheaper = easier snowball. The fact you thought ludens is an item bought for waveclear on Ori makes me VERY distrustful of your opinion.

MinaZer01 votes

Ori has a MS steroid, she has plenty of poke and zone control with thunderlords and only 800g cheaper, Ludens isnt better in any way, and I don't care if you are trustful of my opinion or not, use a less effective build, doesn't really affect me in the least, only your gameplay.

nm10102 votes

The thing is I am using the most effective build

https://i.gyazo.com/548ce89eafdd2a3941c98b946d43539f.png

The closest thing to your build just straight up performs worse.

MinaZer01 votes

sorry 3.11 % is a drop in the bucket, and saying its better by that much isnt saying anything, it performs better because it considers bronze through plat as well which take up the most percentage of the player base, bronze players would rather buy an item for instant gratification, Ludens does give good stats and intial burst can be taken advantage of on bronze players. but waiting for 800 more gold is a much better choice and better build The raw AP of Deathcap is better, I'm an Ori main, I know what I'm talking about. Orianna

item 3089 > item 3285

nm10102 votes

Anything over 2% is considered a large swing in winrate...

This is plat+ nothing is shown for bronze-gold...

Your account looks like it was very likely bought considering this is the mmr of your last game...

https://i.gyazo.com/1ac8a6a0a33b7d47c250856feeb92b74.png

And these are your Orianna stats (don't worry I used normals to avoid the 0% winrate in ranked)...

https://i.gyazo.com/9c99b91647cb68cf301394917327f650.png

Seems like you can barely break 130 cs a game on a farming champ or are you going to tell me Orianna doesn't need farm next xD

So tell me are you just lying to me? Or are you doing it to yourself too?

MinaZer01 votes

Queueing with low ranked frands and being unranked on this account will do that, I have 4 accounts all being Dia 2 or higher, this is a pub stomping account where I fun all over low ranked guys that go Ludens over Rabadons all day

peeps>creeps, I dont even see creeps at this rank, and yea your graph says plat+, and as I said bronze through plat=garbage, congrats on making Dia last season finally, 1337 1337, btw high plat - low dia isnt coach worthy, maybe for free, but you keep at that $2 hustle

So you are lying to yourself too. You really seem like you are pubstomping

https://i.gyazo.com/d5356bf8d4d10c100592094ee771dafb.png

I mean you can try to poke fun at my diamond rating, but considering I have less ranked games played in 4 seasons than many of the people I play against in diamond have in a season I'd say I'm doing pretty well.

Yes I have a coaching profile and as the description says I added the $2 fee only after people kept scheduling lessons and not showing up. Not to mention I waive it for most of the people that message me beforehand

https://i.gyazo.com/113894b78b7c16cd879bdbebc6d0ee67.png

Good job on googling my name though, I have a shitty youtube channel from 3-4 years ago too in case you missed that. Now if you actually want to comment on how you don't even know how to build your main champ go ahead.

MinaZer01 votes

its okei man, you dont have to explain yourself to me, I was just making fun of you, I dont need a life story, save that for the people you are coaching

nm10101 votes

So you give up on coming up with anything relevant? Most people try to say at least something on topic, but then again you can't even consistently win games in bronze elo so your capabilities are probably lacking.

I mean look at this

I think my 12 year old cousin plays better than that.

Edit: I gotta thank you though bro, the previous funny guy who I found on here got banned for getting boosted. My fiance and I needed a new entertaining source of replays, I'll add you to my favorites on op.gg.

Luden's on Ori is a great buy. Wtf you smoking?

I'm more wondering why she has abyssal. The passive aura has shit range, and Zhonya's is def better.
