We need more anti-mage items/champions if tanky mages are to become the new norm

Tanky mages (Kassadin Vladimir Ryze Cassiopeia Mordekaiser ) are WAY too strong, to the point nobody can deal with them regardless of kit - marksman, enchanter, tank, bruiser, assassin, diver - NOBODY can handle these champions, not in laning phase nor after it. For champions that scale so extremely well later in the game, these champions are WAY too overbearing before they even complete their first item.

Kassadin Ryze Cassiopeia become 1v3 material once they buy item 3010, where similar classes had their starter items utterly gutted to avoid similar powerspikes. (Brutalizer, Tiamat)

We either need more champions (in ALL roles) that have in-built antimage capabilities or more items for all classes to actually build in situational matchups.

Sure... but before that... can we have some anti-assassin stuff first since the tanky mages are reacting to a problem, not the cause of it?

You're fighting a losing battle my man. The boards are majority supporting mage, tank, and support champions. Anything against these 3 roles/classes will lead to negative feedback or feedback to flip back on assassins, adc, and bruisers as the issue.

I'll never understand Cass I get her in aram a lot and just press E everyone is dead I can run anyone down and just E them to death. I'm surprised I dont see her so much in rift cuz she'd be perfect down here where we all like to after mid game spend half the game wondering around in the little areas of the jg she would wipe a team ez pz xD

Uhh, plenty of champs deal with kass and vlad easily during laning. After laning? You can make that argument....but nobody can argue their laning is strong.

Don't overstate their strength like they're all mordekaiser.
