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 item 3152 and actually benefits from it as well as he does? How often do you Kassadin anymore? It's also funny that ever since his release and immediate nerf to his ultimate, Ekko 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 Ahri or Brand, 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.

Brand and ahri are not outclassed if they have any general idea on how to play the champ. Both are very strong and are fine how they are (imo). Not to mention brand has one of the highest win rates in NA

I did say i wouldn't be surprised if they became outclassed, didn't say they were. Just putting it out there that the new assassin item could change that.

I would be surprised if Ahri ever got outclassed, she's relatively stable in the mid lane, same with Orianna really.
