Uh... No Ap itemization?

Suprised to see that AD assassins got a bunch of new and reworked items, but ap assassins are stuck with item 3285 as the most assasinish item they can buy.

Hold on, Still getting used to Zed apparently turning into AD Veigar. Except. You know. With Mobility.

Edit. Wow. Now Duskblade acts as Anti Vision apparently HA. As if Warding wasn't hard enough. As if nerfs to vision were not BAD enough.

Riot. Stop whatever you are smoking.

Ah yes, how could I forget the infamous item 3027 / item 3001 Katarina.

Wait.

That wasn't a thing?

ROA and Abyssal are off-tank mage items, and lichbane isn't even usable on all AP assassins (Katarina and Leblanc can't use it effectively, yes technically they can auto attack but it does not mesh with kit-play style)

Meanwhile, AD assassins now have a MR/AD/Apen spellsheild, An AD equivalent of Ludens (new item 3147), and an active that can block a free auto attack.

It's ok ill keep trying to weave in that extra auto attack as Leblanc.

AP itemization changes are probably incoming in the next few days/weeks, I doubt they'll be adding any AP item though since AP scaling is pretty high either way for both mages and assassins alike, there's no point in adding higher AP damage options when AP damage across the board is super high.

The change that is going to be most likely happening is to Rylai's and that one is definitely a nerf.

inb4 supports buying abyssal scepter for muh dmgs

I don't know the math on it, but isn't the abyssal scepter change almost negligible? 10% magic damage increase VS Mr reduction seem about the same.

That said, I can't say too much because I already buy Abyssal on some supports (sons and Morgana mostly)
