Hexdrinker should be removed. Its cheap as hell to buy and its only useful for AD champs. Once it is bought, Mages can no longer 1 vs 1 them and reasonably get a kill through outplays. Its cheap as hell to buy too and the shield is just too much.
Meanwhile, Mages don't have a viable counterpart. Seekers does Jack against AD combos in comparison to how Hexdrinker makes you immortal.

It's meant to be a mage counter, so good job on catching that. I find it interesting how often people jump to removing content from the game as a solution for anything that makes things harder for them. You even mentioned the alternative, but it wasn't in the form of a suggestion. Why not talk about adding something?

Completely wrong. Its not preventing mages from getting kill through outplay, it creates balance so it has to outplay to get kill. If there was no Hexdrinker what chance would any AD champ has on lane against Lissandra, Anivia, Syndra, Orianna, Leblanc, Ahri, Annie, Viktor and similar. They would have to build defensive MR items, which would make them useless.
Lets say we have total of 5 AD midlaners: Zed, Yasuo, Talon, Ezreal and Corki (i might have missed some, sorry about it). They deal high damage, but have no CC or have unreliable CC(none of them have hard CC tho), they are squishy, they cant burst from a far and only way to get kill with them is through outplay (YES, YES i know there will come someone now and say "OMG ZED IZI TO PLAY HE PRESS R AND GET KILL NUB", which is bullshit and we all know it, 90% of Zed players cant even execute their combo properly, and those that can are in Challenger or high Diamond so most of us didnt face them). Unless you are stupid enough to take Ignite instead of Exhaust, they cant kill u early, and then u get Zhonya and they cant kill you at all. But they have no defence against you, except Hexdrinker.
