Ok so I know its not just me. This game shows MAJOR favoritism to the Mages. and its only been proven hard core with this update... THIS IS SO NOT FAIR. Reason why... Riot always nerfs magic resist items and buff armor or something BUFF Magic pen runes then turn around and NERF MAGIC RESIST... Like wtH?? Also there is still no mage Thornmilll equivalent when there really should be..... Right now and always theres nothing u can do when a mage gets to a certain point of strength no matter what they will MELT U.... Magic resist does not do much for u... BUT for AD its TOTALLY DIFFERNT by enough armor they do NO DAMAGE. Also there are MANY MANY ARMOR ITEMS and like not even 5 REAL Magic resist items like what is this??? And GA technically shouldn't don't doesn't count because IT HAS ARMOR IN IT.. items like the spirit Visage and Banshees are what I mean only ones that give u a CONSIDERABLE amount of MR.. An other are either for supports or people who need attack speed like wits end. Or ones that give u damage item 3156 .. Yes it is a good item but the items that defend against mages now are really good and made for certain champs really well. But ones that are just Universal that anyone can pick up and I don't need to be AD to buy this or like I need to have attack speed or on hit damage or wits end makes no sense.. bottom line since the mage buffs wont stop EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE ALREADY like the strongest class without them... There needs to be More Magic resist items one DEFINTLEY needs to be some sort of Thornmill equal. like throws away a percent of the damage or something because its really gotten out of hand its quite ridiculous... again bottom line either the ad people need some sort of buff (which would make this game even more of a warzone) Or there needs to be MORE MAGIC RESIST ITEMS.. that give u more that just 30 or 40 or not mixed with damage attkspeed or ap.... Like bring THE FORCE OF NATURE BACK yes I said it.. a couple more items that can be used in more of a Diverse fashion but still Give u a good amount of MR so u don't get melted with 1 combo or lose Half HP from a Q.... Please think about this... Let me know Your thoughts Am I the only one Who feels this way??

Prior to this, I always felt like it was the other way around, that Riot played favorites with AD Champs in general, with items like Hexdrinker being much more reliably useful than items like Zhonya's, not to mention items like Mercurial Scimitar and the wealth of magic resist in comparison to the dearth of Magic Penetration in the game. In fact, until just recently, AD champs dominated midlane, characters such as Yasuo, Zed, Quinn and the like had extraordinary success mid because of how immensely powerful the AD Items were, not to mention how mages lacked build diversity up until just a few days ago.

Most mages got heavily nerfed in terms of damage output, it's only logical to nerf MR.

MR has been buffed again and again, armor nerfed over and over. Now look at armorpen runes and compare them to the pathetic magicpen runes. Only thing I agree with you is that it is hard to stack MR.
