These new mage items are neat but...

I don't really like any of the options that are given to me for starting items... (Btw i'm an Orianna main so keep that in mind)

item 3030 this item's is kinda situational and the active is another ability I need to worry about, which my silver ass can't comprehend.

item 3003 this one seems pretty good since it gives you a lot of mana but there isn't a lot of AP, and it gives you no additional HP, so I wonder if it's really worth buying. (I know it transforms into a better item but still)

item 3285 although people say this one is the best one for Ori, I honestly just hate using this item for a couple of reasons.

  1. When the item passive procs on champion/minion, the sound it makes is annoying as fuck.
  2. It feels like I'm extremely frail by packing this item
  3. Where the movement speed go ;_; it felt so good...

If Riot could maybe make a quick update to item 3027 and make it a good, viable option to use for Orianna and other midlane mages, you do not know how much I will appreciate the extra HP it gives; since none of the new options give much defensive worth.

You could make an argument that when item 3003 turns into item 3040 , you have much better protection, but still, 50 AP is not enough damage, and 1400 mana for Ori is definitely over the top.

So pls Rito, I want to be able to play a tankier mage midlane, I don't care if it sacrifices a lil mana or even sacrifices damage, the only thing I want right now is some HP.

You're forgetting that Archangel's Staff gives the Mana to AP conversion immediately. At level 6 with Ahri and no Tear stacks, the item gives +35 AP from the Mana to AP conversion alone for a total of 85 AP. It's completely on par with the other items in terms of AP when you buy it.

item 3905 or item 3027 or item 3285 are I think good for "go-to" first item for mages if you don't have any particular specialisation.

The new item the one that builds AP as you walk is extremely strong on almost if not all AP champs. That item would for sure work on oriana. item 3285 should be a lot better on her now not only does it give the 20% CDR it's also giving mana regen so it's good for champs that can poke.

I understand where your coming from but you don't because the ap item changes are great

And if you want to play a more tank mage then don't play Oriana play someone more like Lissandra Swain Swain Swain Nunu Galio Galio Galio
