I Would Not Mind The Mage Nerfs...

If mage's abilities actually did something well enough other than poking and waveclearing both of which rely on mana,its not rare for midlaners to have entirely uninteractive lanephases because their resources and damage are simply not enough to take down a 60% hp opponent.Especially with the existence of and the mastery with this same effect.The risk of attempting to get a kill on your opponent is just not worth taking considering the fact that you may be ganked by the enemy jungler.Most assasins are already pick or ban in solo queue with zed and "yasuo" being the 1st and 2nd most banned champions in the game right now,i really do not know where Riot is going with this decision,maybe they want to push resourceless champions that are the pro's favorites like vladimir and katarina to see play or assasins like zed.Waveclear is a unique mechanic to the midlane and taking it away can only cause more harm to the game.Not to mention that midlane is 3rd in game influence,after Bot and jungle. This all looks like a plubic stunt by Riot to me,"we garbaged toplane so players are flooding mid lets garbage mid to even it out" All in all,it is already known that junglers have too much control over solo lanes,jungle and bot are holding the game hostage having full control of the outcome of each game,these changes will only make midlaners rely more on their junglers and assasins will reach a higher ban ratios than they already do.
