AP Mages are all but dead it seems....

FreshAsFebreze··2 votes·1,040 views

Now, I play in silver which isn't saying much, but all I am seeing is an occasional mage go mid-lane, as AP. Top lane? Non-existent, jungle, minus elise for the pros I never see it. Bot lane, thats self explanatory but ppl have found ways to abuse CC down in the supp role. I am seeing all AD teams more and more often, which pisses me off because I want to rock the new Galio but I feel he would be useless since he's supposed to an anti-AP type of champ. I feel like mages dont do any damage, every ADC just buys a QSS to counter and CC, and lifesteal is running rampant. So, if you dont kill the ADC or enemy auto-attacker in one burst, youre dead. The only champ I feel somewhat confident in in being able to blow an enemy carry is velkoz but he presents issues with not having any escape minus flash. This meta just makes me sick. What happened to diversity where almost every champ is viable instead of being a yasuo top/mid, yi/graves in the jungle, and the typical array of ADCs?

AP Mages are all but dead

Meanwhile 19 out of 20 of the highest winrate midlaners are AP. Nice one man

You, my good sir, are dumb for missing the point but I'll let you figure it out.

I dont have a point when mages only exist in one lane? I'm not counting supp because thats all about getting the adc going. So out of 4 "positions", mages exist in one. Probably the only reason they still exist there is to have some diversity in damage. If you go all AD as I have seen more often, tanks just build straight up armor and can dominate.

I didn't miss shit. You're just a salty mage main complaining about non-existant problems.

"Wahhhhhhhh no AP Tops"

How are you going to pull that when Swain is your 3rd most picked champion?

"No mage junglers!"

Meanwhile Ivern has been broken for months and Elise still 100% viable. Amumu will be right back after these buffs hit too.

Just a reminder that Ziggs still has the 4th highest winrate for the "ADC" position and all the best supports are enchanter mages.

Take your nonsense elsewhere

First note, if you are dumb enough to think amumu and ivern are mages, then you should probably check yourself. Their main roles are tank junglers, to be classified as mage you have to build full ap with a zhonyas and some other shit. Not sunfire and athenes, I have you elise. And give a fucking break about ziggs, one fucking "mage" out of 25 something auto attackers. If you can say that shit, then i can say talon or zed who are 4, 5 on the charts in mid lane. You must just an idiot who wants the game to be stale and auto attack nation.

Athene's on Elise lmaoooooooooooooo why dont we take a look at her best builds?

https://na.op.gg/champion/elise/statistics/jungle

Care to explain how item 1414 item 3152 item 3151 item 3116 isn't a mage?

"ZED AND TALON QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ"

Hey fun fact! Talon is literally the ONLY AD mid laner with a positive winrate. But you mage mains still think "OMG ZED OP". What a fucking joke.

I'm done. Stay stuck in your delusions. The rest of us will just keep on laughing at your ignorance
