Why are people whining about mage nerfs...
When almost every single mage item is getting more AP and/or a lowered cost? Just what? Dorans ring won't refund mana on minion kills, sure, but lost chapter just got a ton more AP for a pretty mediocre raise in price. Not to mention, dorans ring still has mana regen; it just got the added bonus of making mage AAs better at csing, something people were asking for already.
Seriously, midlanders are just whiners.
