I think this may be the first time in his history that my main boy (who is largely considered one of League's most balanced champions due to how infrequent and minor changes have been since his release) is sitting at a win rate less than 50%.

There's been too many changes in the last few weeks that have destroyed immobile mages like Vel'koz, whether that be buffing their counters, making their runes / itemization less efficient or changes to the way the game is played like Baron-empowered minions being literally impossible to kill for anything with AP.

You've really screwed the pooch this time. It's time to start buffing immobile mages.

The reason Vel'koz hasn't seen any changes is because he's relatively balanced. As in, compared to the mages who aren't balanced, he's pretty balanced. That doesn't stop him from being a mage though. He never runs out of mana and chunks too hard because of void staff giving 40% MR pen now. It's a mage problem as a whole, but on that whole, Vel'koz is contributing the least to the problems

velkoz is actually like the worst offender in the never running out of mana catagory. I dont think I have ever seen him oom. in my life.

You mean nerfing core AP itemization and then buffing assassins patch after patch after patch doesn't help mages. You mean shitting on our ability to last hit creeps while raising the hp of the cannon minion because doesn't help mages. You mean riot suggesting that the best way forward in league of legends is for fucking mages to have the smallest mana pool in the game isn't going to help mages.

I dunno man sounds crazy to me.
