Mages Have Been Powercreeped TOO MUCH

I have never seen a meta where mages dominate every other role. Assassins have a problem of their own too but thats just being able to constantly stack lethality and deal basically true dmg. What happened to resistances in this game? item 3151 this shit deals 2% max hp per second per stack which can amount to 10 or more if you keep refreshing it. item 3152 This item gives way too much for its pretty low cost. item 3146 How are you suppose to actually stop this item when there are little to no cost effective grievous wounds items. Thornmail only gives you 250 hp for 80 armor and grievous wounds and if they attack you they have to be in range of it to work, which means it is ass unless you are jungling or if you are going a high base hp champ which can be good for clearing. Abyssal Mask is way too expensive and the final cost doesn't match up against rabs death cap and lets not forget the two items that makes tanks utterly useless once bought. item 3135 item 3157. These are so cost effective that even tanks are starting to build them because first off Hourglass has only a 2 minute cooldown for the best active and best build setup in the game and secondly void staff is so cheap that once that tank hits his second magic resist item they already have sorc shoes and morrello and void just to delete you and your teammates with one combo. Vladimir Let us not forget the rapid fire EQ ryze that once he gets three items he starts dealing more consistent damage than your adc. This meta is mage dominated and we know why. Resistances are trash and each and every mage item has been over buffed every single season. Armor is just as much of a joke as magic resist.

Do not come to me and complain about mage itemization. Why would you need a different build when your main one is so broken that it beats all other optimal builds for other classes.

WHY ARE MAGES ALLOWED TO 5 SHOT TOWERS WITH 600 AP. THE ONE THING MAGES SHOULD REALLY BE SHIT AT IS KILLING TOWERS!!!! THEY HAVE AMAZING WAVE CLEAR BUT WHY GIVE THEM THE ABILITY TO DESTROY TOWERS LIKE A FUCKING TRIST!!!

It does though. If brand hits his W thats 4% from that item because of his passive burn. It is exactly why adaptive helm is such trash at countering it.

The item deals 1.5% per second or 2.5% on slowed or immoblized. It has another passive that increases the damage the champion deals by 2%, stacking up to 5 times. That's not a 10% or 4% max health per second DoT.

It starts at 2% how ignorant do you have to be to understand that https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Liandry%27s_Torment go read the item. Tell me where you see 1.5 percent. Just please enlighten me sir.

"damage-over-time effect for 3 seconds that deals a total of 4.5% of target's maximum health bonus magic damage"

I'm hoping that even you can work out the per second equivalent of 4.5% over 3 seconds.

Riot thought that mages building 2.3k item (morellonomicon) and NEVER running out of mana was bullshit, so they made a 1.3k gold item (lost chapter) instead

Riot will just keep powercreeping until no one cares and moves on to other games for good.

item 3285 Also have you noticed that the mage core items got slapped on 20% cdr for no reason? Thats a clear indication Riot wanted to fasten the game pace of this game. CDR back then was something very scarce. Give us back our damn athenes/asyssal so we can actually slow the pace of this snowball fest and remove these absurd core items that provide EVERYTHING.

*Come to think of it. If you shave off 20% from the previous long games we had (35-40 mins) it would be just around the exact time our current games are ending.

This all happened after the mage item reworks especially when they removed DFG. Which was a huge factor of mage itemization. And in return, we get something so extremely ubiquitous.
