As someone who adores mages, can we get some sort of help

The mid season changes to tanks seem pretty neat, and I love the lower damage you're giving them riot! but all these new mr items, and the extra mr on old items, what are we gonna get in compensation? all we have is item 3020 item 3151 which cant be used on a few mages and item 3135 since abyssal is a tank items now that option has been removed? and that combined with my runes 7.8+15+15+30% magic pen, its not THAT much, sure its enough to dent a tank, but I feel like as a mage, lets say someone like Xerath I should only need 2-4 combos to kill a tank, and with these mr items its gonna make that around 5-6. All I ask, is for liandrys to give like maybe 5+ magic pen and voidstaff to cost a little more and maybe give 5% extra too, I'm not a game developer so I cant provide good numbers to make it balanced, but I sure do play this game a lot, and I'm sure these changes will ruin mages if we get nothing inturn.

I know changing any of these items will affect champs like Ekko Leblanc etc... but whenever I wanna play what I love, I don't wanna have to beg my jungler to pick up Amumu every game just so I can deal my damage. Anyways, this post will probably get downvoted to hell but I just wanted to get my shitty opinion out here :/

Edit: WOW people are dumb, I said AFTER THE TANK UPDATE, not right now, of course mages are fine rn

Oh noes, mages are so weak!

That's why they consistently dominate midlane, have presence top lane, and even have Ziggs making everybody miserable bot lane!

The disparity between the strong and the weak mages is starting to grow massive though.

This has more to do with AD and AP design, than the armor/MR design though. That said, giving AD more options against AP is just going to increase the divide between mages who fair well against AD champions and mages who don't even more. Which IS something we don't need to happen.

Mind you i'm not just talking about bruisers in this, i'm referring to the champions who are AD casters or AD assassins.

I don't think that the changes will ruin mages. It should take you quite a few combo's to kill a tank. However, with the changes to the various tank items, it would be nice to see magic pen reworked abit. With resists on the rise, flat pen isn't as good anymore.

Most tanks will be purchasing the modified Abyssal Scepter, amplifying all of the magic damage you deal greatly.
