So did you just wanna rename the game to League of Melee Legends?

Bruiser, assassin or adc gets fed = carry the game

Mage goes 19/2/8 and still can't carry.

That sounds very much like a "you" problem, considering nearly any champion can carry when that fed.

Look at your own play, not on some outside aspect.

I like to use annie most of the time as a metric for how mages are doing as a whole seeing how simple her kit is to execute and should be always sitting at least 51% WR.

Her WR is currently 47%.

There are some mages that are seeing some success but if you narrow it down you will notice that its specially burst mages that are doing terribly right now. I mean why run a burst mage when assassins out burst them and are more mobile.

Annie, the champion that hasn't been meta for several seasons, and that has low range and is entirely dependent on if she can flash Tibers.

Yeah, that isn't a good metric to have.

Ahri, Twisted Fate, Malzahar, Anivia, Cassiopeia, Lux, Orianna, all perfectly fine picks right now

Um what, her kit is much easier to use then all the champs you mentioned and the only burst mage you mentioned in that list was Lux who offbuild as poke.

Annie has always sit at least 50% WR because she is easy low range and her dependency on flash tibbers HAS ALWAYS EXISTED but her WR being at 47% has not.

P.S.: Annie has always been meta for every season but this one(in fact she was 53% WR in the last season).

You edited in the portion about “burst mages” after your original comment.

I deliberately excluded Kassadin (right now considered one of the best picks in mid lane) because I believed you would consider him too much an assassin to count as a mage, but since your point is burst mages, well there you go.

Ahri also classifies as a burst mage.

Annie is weak right now for her own reasons, not because of some hidden agenda against mages.

No i didn't, if i did in your reply i wouldn't have it there in your reply.

You mean the champ that got reworked and was garbage till they buffed the crap out of her?

I never said there was a "hidden agenda" against mages.

.......there is no meta.....champs literally do not

ModWulf HelhammerSep 14, 20181 votes

I really don’t understand what you’re saying there, or in your other comment.

Could you clarify?

KlydeFrogSep 15, 20181 votes

Sorry . there really is no such thing as meta for champs. For instance on my other account i started doing malz supp right after they gave him the passive he has now. Mind you nothing changed and then all of a sudden people started doing it months after i was doing it and all of a sudden it was meta..... Or its meta to get rageblade on varus........it was always good to get rageblade on him since rageblade was made. Or champs literally have 0 impact to meta because truly every champ in thus game is strong minus sol because he gets beat to easily and loses passive if he gets hit. In ending riot is handicapped and really cant please everyone because they do anything here comes the community crying for nerfs. Like quinn quinn op top this and op top that..... She has always been good top so i went leo because you need a dash or long engage to beat quinn and yes i smacked her around and gee quinn cried saying i was cheating and needed nerfs....lol thats league full of criers who will complain about anything done. So i play heroes or smite mostlt cause people dont 😢 like league players

Umm no

More likely scenario: you’re still crap and mages are fine.

Git gud. Mages carried me lal the way to Diamond 3 this season.

Ryze Annie Ahri Cassiopeia Orianna Leblanc Malzahar Veigar Viktor

Are you mad that YOUR MAGE is crap? if you see your champ on the list above.. you're doing something wrong because they are all monstrous right now.

Ahri, Ryze, Leblanc and malz especially.

KlydeFrogSep 14, 20181 votes

Lol i started playing heroes and smite. To many cry babies in league. Riots hands are tied cause no matter what they do people will whine. For instance that ahri buff raising level 1 to 1.4 from 1 did that change anything ? No it didn't. What you could do now you could do before.

Malix FarwinSep 14, 20181 votes

FFS they buffed her when her WR was still 50% because even riot knows she should be above that. Zed has a higher WR then annie and that seems legit?

Malix FarwinSep 15, 20181 votes

Annie has always been weak when mages are weak and strong when mages are strong.
