Riot you guys are really poking the hornets nest with that item announcement
Seriously, all of the mage players have been silent about how bias the balance in the game seems to be atm, expecting to receive the same overly synergistic buffs to their archetype and itemization that juggernauts and marksmen got.
I'm not going to talk about the actual balance, but i get the feeling most were expecting some kind of insane synergy like "ability power now increases the damage and the effectiveness of abilities... by increasing the CC, utility, or AoE zone."
