Can we talk about the mage fantasy? Riot please.
The mage fantasy includes the following:
- Good early game so you can 1v1 in the laning phase.
- Good late game so you can burst people down.
- High sustained damage for them combo kills.
- High burst damage for those gibs.
- Ability to kite so you can escape melee.
- Ability to chase so you can chase people down.
- CC so you can insta gib people in a stun.
- Tankiness through items.
- Ability to poke the enemy at long range.
- Ability to gain utility like healing debuffs, invulnerabilities, perma slows, etc. without giving up any damage.
- No channels or drawbacks or any difficulty, fast skill shots with large hitboxes and either direct target or auto tracking abilities on short cooldowns.
- No interaction with your opponent, just CC them and burst them.
- And do to it all from long range.
You know those kids on the playground who said my superpower is to have all the superpowers?
is the first to come to mind.
