Playing a mage in this game is infuriating.

Your classic mage that has negative mobility and a very unforgiving kit (AurelionSol) and relies heavily on skillshots feels absolutely horrible to play. You make **ONE ** mistake (Which is normally just walking to close to a threat) and this game's fucking **BUTTLOAD ** of hyper mobile champions (ZedYasuoRivenTalon,LeeSin) tag team your sorry ass and you're left feeling completely cheated. It also doesn't help that this game severely lacks point and click hard cc, leaving most mages with skill shot based cc that any half decent player can dodge (and it is easier when your kit is riddled with dashes and escapes). But, I'm not done yet and lets add insult to injury, why in the name of **GOD ** do AD based assassins get SO MUCH to use against mages (item 3156 item 3814 item 3139) while mages are legit left with one item that only prolongs the inevitable (item 3157).

I can't think of any other game where playing a mage character makes me this annoyed. The only mages in this game I can somewhat perform decent to good on when the enemy team is loaded with cancer is Ryze (because his kit naturally allows for him to be able to duel them) and Karthus (because even after he is completely bombarded he's still somewhat useful after the fact with his passive).

Sorry for the rant, but this shit has almost made me break my monitor on several occasions.

cant speak for SR but in aram and mods ( including mods based on SR ), yes AD champs are WAY more favored and easier to play with better results and with MUCH higher ban rates.

dont believe ? check the current mode now and tell me who are the 20 best picks/most banned champs there.

Don't worry dude they nerfed Varus. Now he gets to go closer to those crazy mobile hyper-carries, too. While being lower leveled and with no escape. Just saying - I feel your pain.

Yet, At the end of the day, mages are still so strong that bot lane is more riddled with them than ever :)
