I am now absolutely convinced that Riot hates mages

I don't really want to rant about the following item changes before they actually come live but I just can't stay calm about this. Among all other items mage ones will receive only nerfs. All costs increase, Zhonya nerf, mana regen nerfs patch after patch including the following removal of mana potions in the following preseason... Doesn't that seem a little awkward? But hey let's be optimistic , at least is getting CDR on it and all the - like champs will be happier than ever. I guess that's good, right?

Right?

Right?...

If this doesn't say that Riot favourites assasins, manaless and cancerous one-shot champions I don't know what does.

And now there will be a AD item with high sustain that makes you un-burstable. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/26jWA0FQ-deaths-dance-balance

Mage items previous rework-nerfed Zhonyas, Rabadon, Luden's, buffed other items a bit, nerfed overall 6-slotted damage AD items rework-tons of buffs, new items here and there Oh and "FQC active replaced with the Twin Shadows active; Twin Shadows removed" Nerfed one item, deleted another. Now we have no possible way to get that last 10% cdr after runes+morello/grail And CDR boots were nerfed too, as well as cdr masteries. Before I could get 40% CDR with item 3069 / item 3092 / item 3401 + item 3158

Riot is completely biased towards mages right behind ADCs. Mages have only had the best itemization in the game since the very beginning. For a period of time they even had Rab + Zhonyas on a single item. Assassins are nerfed every season because "They are too safe" when mages have the damage of an assassin but can do it from 1k range. Every time they rework the AP items they end up giving them huge buffs. Rylais is now broken on multiple champions and making NLR less expensive was a huge buff to mages.

Don't even know how you could possibly think Riot is biased towards mages. Just look at the nerf history to Zed and Akali and the history to all of the mage items. You might be getting some nerfs to mage itemization in preseason but it will make such a small difference that it won't even matter. Downvote away scrub mage mains.

Please read the entire comment, mana pools/regen will be adjusted to compensate along with the new flasks. Seriously why does no one read the entire post.
