It is a bit frustrating since Mages have been getting hit with nerfs since mage update and now this will come out and put them in a really weak spot. Alot of compensation buffs are going to need to come through. Banshee's is a good direction for a defensive item but i dont think it's going to be enough.

I just want them to finally introduce a proper armor item for mages, Zhonya's doesn't cut it against all this broken AD itemization out there (especially lethality). Heck, might aswell give us our own versions of QSS and EoN.

Mages and AP in general are incredibly strong right now, probably even overpowered. That's why you see full AD teams on a regular basis.

Because there were almost no MR options for tanks. You had Banshee's and Spirit Visage. That's it. In order to counterbuild a full AP team you had to build 2 SVs.

Mages will be fine anyway. They still have utility and tanks have many stats to help against ADCs but still get melted by them.

As I stated last year when they did the mage update, they didn't introduce new items to make the class better and more diverse. Now we are going to be stuck in a place where AP champions only have 3 items to use against all of these champions stacking MR and health regen, but ADC and AD champions can abuse each others items. AD and ADC champions have about 6 items they can use against all of these tanks that are building armor.

I know right? It's not mages nuking tanks, it's the AD heavy champions!

Tfw Mages are seen in every single game, sometimes in multiple positions and then people complain about nerfs.

The GA changes seem poorly thought out to be honest. I understand the logic behind the changes but it ignores all criticisms.

because MR items sucks for tanks..

And no sustain DPS from mage is NOT HEALTHY and BALANCED

When you have 250 mr and cass or ryze melt you because of the DPS they make its A PROBLEM

I dont care how you see it its a problem

so the new mr item would fix that

Plus f@ck annie that can insta combo someone with her retarded combo that is a problem for 7 seasons now and finally riot adress the problem with the new items
