mages have no punishment for fishing
Im not sure if it's intended but mages can just spam spam spam in this game with no punishment for missing. Mana and cooldowns are supposed to prevent ability spamming.
Im fine with them doing as much burst damage as they do, but in the current state mages are too oppressive to marksmen in particular, and horribly in the early stages of the game.
I get that mages counter marksmen, but there is no counterplay to endless spam, and there is no reason at all why a spell that can chunk half of someones health pretty much for free, can be cast every 4 seconds endlessly.
Mana should be a factor for mages. And they should have to manage it well.
for AP damage that could possibly slow the spell caster and/or reflect %damage.
, all hight damage, high range with hard CC.
