Comet and Aery in sad state compared to Electrocute...

Even mages are starting to deviate from comet, in exchange for burst from Electrocute, or even Dark Harvest.

Comet in a sense works for some mid laners, but really they are already winning from champion choices (ie ranged vs melee, xerath into any melee).

I'm even seeing players that run electrocute now.

Summon Aery and even Guardian is piss poor compared to a support running dark harvest / electrocute in the melee support vs control mage support meta. Our teams Braum can't keep up with a MORGANA blindly flash ulting my team. Our teams Naut can hook players, but given that it's solo queue and does the hook at the right time --> 100% loses because the team just watches him. Our teams THRESH, practically classified as a melee support, because his flay requires him to be in poke/dying range, and his hook keeps him in one position. Meanwhile the entire game the enemy Zyra/Brand is doing top damage, and the top lane / jungle tank obliterates our team with percentage damage and sheer lane priority. (A whole different subject).

Even warding for ghost poro, gives a slight advantage to mages and other assassins.. while mages are completely handicap? We have to build manaflow and 10% cooldown and scorch.. just to be able to keep up with energy based champions. Mages have to meta build Luden's, to even contribute to teamfights, Rod of Ages is only viable for Kassadin because he is in a busted state; but what about other mages in the mid lane?

It's like the whole game shifted from standard laning to "everyone go bot lane" and kill each other in an Aram.
