CDR Builds For AP carries are objectivly worse then CDR builds For AD casters

Mage choices:

  • Nashors Tooth (20% cdr 80 ap) Literally only used on Azir

  • Banner of Command (10% cdr 60 ap) very low damage at 60 ap and only 10% cdr

  • Athenes Unholy Grail (20% cdr 60 ap) an okay item for most mages

  • Morellonomicon (20% cdr 80 ap) Literally the only other cdr item useable on most mages

  • Will of the Ancients (10% cdr 80 ap) Hi Vlad Vladimir

Meanwhile

item 3508 (10-30% cdr 65 AD) Objectively the best caster item in the game item 3078 (10% cdr 25 AD) Literally maxes essence reaver out in 1 item with a shit ton of great stats and passives even if its a bit expensive item 3812 (10% cdr 65 ad) Will of the Ancients and Zhonyas got together and made a bastard child of an ad item. item 3071 (20% cdr 55 ad) Oh and 30% armor shred. Void staff with 20% cdr item 3142 (10% cdr 65 ad) Why not?

Mages got fucking screwed this patch.

BLack cleaver is made for offtanks and need a few hits to applie the passive Mages just need AP,CDR and some of them mana. Morello and athenes give both+ a strong passive ADCs need AD,lifesteal,AS,critic and CDR :)

I haven't used the item for a while so i may be mistaken

But i believe lich bane has cdr aswell now since its a sheen change

I am also a fan of banner in certain circumstances The active is strong for shoving a lane and just ridiculous with baron
And the health / mr help you survive ap burst without providing 0 damage

Of course theres abyssal for that area as well but i personally like the little bit of hp

You dont usescaling cdr runes and demand max cdr? outrageous. These mage boards are really getting out of hand. How many of these people even play this darn game

i don't think mages are struggling right now

i will agree though that they should have access to more CDR options if AD casters are allowed to double-dip into crit AND cdr at the same time.

Now please go check the prices of each of those items. Compare the price of Morellos with tri force or black cleaver. CDR on mages is much easier and now you can have 45 percent CDR

Also, maxing cdr with ad caster now is easy and rewarding, if you build 2 cdr items on an mage you get screwed, if you put 2 20% cdr items on your inv you will gonna lose alot of power since all of then have a low amound of ap.
