Hey Riot, I really think Mages need some love
Throughout the time I've played League, I've seen the marksmen, bruisers, tanks, and AD based champs get plenty of love. There's also a new assassin item coming about which is about to give all the Talon and Zed mains better options to deal with tanks instead of just assassinating squishies in team fights and getting out.
When I'm talking about mages, I'm talking Vladamir, Swain, Malzahar, Yorick(yes he's a mage, check his info page), among other magic based champions that people don't really play. This is especially prevalent at lower elos. Who else besides Vladamir builds
and actually benefits from it as well as he does? How often do you
anymore? It's also funny that ever since his release and immediate nerf to his ultimate,
has had one of the most LOUSY win rates (46%) in the game and remains untouched. Yet, Talon and Zed (which have 53% and 51% win rates respectively) are still getting a new assassin item?
By far season 6 may be the most anti-mage meta we've seen yet. I won't be surprised if champions like
or
, of whom are very strong and are holding their own, become outclassed by the tools available to AD based midlaners and toplaners. Especially if AD champions just wait out this new assassination item and 100-0 you. Just my two cents.
