Archangel's isn't too strong, Luden's and GLP-800 are just too weak.

Nerfing Archangel's so hard, to the point where it will only give 76 AP when fully stacked, isn't the right approach to mages' build options.

  • The amount of AP provided by these items is already low enough, considering all the nerfs to AP amounts throughout the last three seasons.
  • They just don't provide enough mana sustain for high mana cost mages like Syndra Lux . Without Archangel's, they'll go oom just for waveclearing three or four minions waves.
  • There is simply no reason for a ranged mage to build GLP-800, as it is outclassed by Luden's.
  • Manaflow band is far from enough, and forcing them to pick a rune just to avoid going oom everytime doesn't seem like a fair deal.

Why can't mages be allowed to have very strong and relevant items just like AD casters/ADC? item 3147 item 3508 item 3139

Instead of buffing everything, nerf everything.
