Mages are the most diverse Class in LOL yet they all use the same small pool of items?
Yea, lol has more AD champ than AP thats a fact, but the small minority that are mages are just as diverse if not more that than any other class in the game.
We have ap tank, battle mages, burst mages, sustain mages, control mages, damage over time mages, artillery mages, support mages, lock down/anti assassin mages, assassin mages, skirmishes/fighter mages, mobile/kite mages, pet/minion mages.
This is probably even more diverse than all the ad champs in the game, yet they all share a small group of ap items.
Why? Because they are a minority?
We need more ap items that just as diverse as mages themselves.
AD champs have an overwhelming group of diverse items for each class. Assassins, ADCs, fighters, tanks, bruisers, all have specialized items made just for them. Even the 10-15 markmens out of a 137 champs have a ton of items made for them. They even switch between assassin items sometimes.
It just feel like ap itemization is an after thought for riot.
It's like ....
Riot says: "Oh yea, there are AP champs in the game, I remember them".
and mage players go like this.... [zombie-brand-facepalm]
"We exist riot."
every game because it's your best items.
.
were meant for AP Assassins.
for Enchanters.
And so on. But AP champs are mostly able to utilise them all, since they all just need AP and magic pen to increase their damage. These item give them the stats they need.
