Is there any way to get around 320 MR as a mage?

Or is that a case of "you should've picked someone else"?

Sell all AP items and buy AD stuff instead.

There isn't, and there isn't meant to be. If your team comp allows the enemy's tanks to itemise exclusively for one source of damage then you've made a huge error and there isn't really meant to be any way to get around that. In normal circumstances a tank stacking exclusively MR is punished by the team's physical damage carries cutting through them like butter while the mage crowd controls them or hurts other targets. Unfortunately your team didn't realise that and instead thought AP Rek'Sai was a good idea.

Next time you play PK be aware that tanks exist and don't pick 5 magic damage champions. If that game worked out for you there would have been huge problems with tank itemisation.

EDIT: Also the worst thing you can do against tanky people is buy Luden's. Your Heimerdinger and Rek'Sai were idiots to buy a mild burst amplifier against a team that can't be burst. If you were gonna buy an AP item with a damage amp it needed to be Liandry's.

Void staff and flat mpen assuming your team had a pure ap comp

Void staff only lowers that to around 200 MR, which still makes you bounce off.

Build pen, buy pen rmarks and quins etc. Having such a high amount of MR probably means you were fighting a tank, in which case, it's kind of their job not to die. It woudl't make sense for them to invest so much in protections, if you could make that protection useless so easily. Try focusing the squishies instead.

It was ARAM, and none of them had less than 120 MR. Pretty impossible to call any of them squishy.

Definetly build pen items. having only 120 Mr is not all that much. you probably wont be able to instaburst them, but you'll still be able to chunk them nicely with void staff, sorc boots, and maybe Lisandre's/Abysal

void staff+ liandrys + magic pen marks?

Depends what mage you picked

burst mages are just completely fucked, but DPS and poke mages probably can build Void with flat pen and be fine. Cassiopeia Azir Ryze Karthus will honestly stop giving a shit after enough items.

Malzahar is also effective for obvious reasons

Chogath Velkoz too since that much MR usually comes with less health unless they double-dipped into MR health items and true damage doesn't care.

I was Lux, and Darius was the one with 320 MR. Pretty broken mage-killer.

No, and that's the point of resists. But ofc in a normal game where your team has some physical damage threats, you will be able to deal damage because the tanks will have to invest in armor as well.
