Mage defense options reduced.

Goodbye .

I guess this concerns me on the level that for Armor and MR the options don't really seem to be.

Armor: Zeke's passive is annoying at best and forces delayed engages from pokes to actual fights. Is reliant on an allied champ being in range. Definitely more support-tank item than Mage, but could theoretically work on certain mages. Zhonya's. Bread and Butter mage item. Literally everyone expects you to buy this and in fact flames you if you don't. That's a serious problem in itself. Probably just a personal design issue I have with it, but seems like "not participating" is a bad method of defense and more a stall tactic which doesn't always pay off.

Magic Resist: Abyssal is already the only option for casters needing MR basically. It's design is completely redundant, since there's literally no options so as the only option it provides the best defense you can choose and a solid AP amount for DPS. The future of it's passive will turn it into more a dps option with defense as a side effect. 2 casters building this against each other is really sad to think about.

Maybe it's time to make a For Summoner's Rift.
