Are my eyes deceiving me?

Many recent mage based changes, notably those to viktor and cassiopea, have allowed them to stack immense amounts of AP, far more than many other mages and certainly more than they ever were to before.

What i take particular note in is the fact that viktors Augment gives him more flat AP from stat boosts than any other item in the game, and cassiopeia's passive, at least later on in the game, is as strong, or even stronger than a rabadons.

If you see where im going with this, then you deserve a cookie because i have almost completely left the topic alone until now...

Is the Item, Rabadon's Deathcap, going to be massively changed, and/or removed? I gather this from the fact that some mages are, if ever so slowly, becoming able to stack large amounts of AP, and thus power, WITHOUT a rabas, with that item being icing on the already sugar coated cake. As rabadon's is one of the most popular items in the game, and offers little to no utility, just raw power, is it going to be "cycled out", as it were?

Vegar trumps all. He laughs at their attempts. They can have all the ap they want. The dark lords cares not.

well I don't think the item itself is that bad, technically the enemy can purchase it as well and gain similar bonuses, what makes Cass and Viktor different though is that they don't have the tools other champions have, not sure for Viktor, but Cass is not very mobile and all her skills have casting times so a syndra for example will deal a crazy amount of damage in half a second with her whole combo without needing to stop and Cass will deal the same amount of damage but it'll take a little bit more time and she can't move much, kind of hard to grasp but it all comes down to casting times and mobility ._.

Agreed, I don't play cassio much but it takes forever for those stacks to make a difference and even when they do make a difference, the range she has to get into during fights can still be dangerous for her. Most mages have a combo you can do then they can back off until your cool downs are over. Cassio has to constantly fire out those E's. When you do wanna hit those stacks asap during laning phase, you end up pushing lane, but then her lack of mobility makes it twice as risky against ganks. Don't get me wrong, She is really strong with max stacks + deathcap, but she can be put out in a heart beat.
