''Mages are OP!!! Hahahachin said so! Here is the list of top tier mages: (AP assassin)(AP assassin)(AP assassin)(One of the few anti-assassin counterpicks that hasnt been nerfworked)(AP assassin)(AP assassin)(Mordekaiser)(AP assassin)! There is a MAGE META GOING ON!!! NERF AP ITEMS!!! Assassins who?''
Meanwhile no mage aside Cass and Malz (2 mages that can mana refund and have decent anti-dive) is anywhere near the top tiers of picks of midlane.
Zoe, Ekko, Veigar, Lux, Cass, Ori, Ahri, Vlad, Fizz, Ryze, Akali, Kat, Kass, Diana
Are all mages with higher pick rates than Malz and most have similar, if not higher, win rates then him
So if you considering Malz to be one of the "few mages" that can be played mid, you clearly don't really have any research done
AP items are better than AD, and both are better than tank items
If your champ builds AP, you're usually in a better spot since their items fit multiple roles at once

....what? Have you even looked at the average picks at Worlds and LCS? Tell me what assassin besides Qiyana and Akali has seen LCS/Worlds play at such numbers as mages and Tristana in midlane?
The only non-mage meta midlane is Galio in Worlds and LCS.
