Can we talk about how safe most mages are?

Mages are probably the safest class in the game right now and have literally no drawbacks to them.

It's obnoxious how mages such as Ahri, Lux, Xerath, Syndra, never really lose out on anything from a bad trade the way other champs do. Fucking high range, often longer than that of the turrets themselves, and skillshots which never cause them to run out of mana from the moment they pick up a item 3802 ].

Even an assassin such as Talon, Katarina, or even a fucking LeBlanc loses something from a bad trade but your average mage? Nah, miss your skillshot and it doesn't matter coz now you can farm from under turret with no risk of a dive coz you can always try to hit your low cooldown stun/root and run back in joy.

I'd rather face a Yasuo or an Akali in the mid lane in this day and age than an Ahri who decides she's gonna play it safe and go back under her turret in case she misses her charm.

Depends on your definition of safe. Safe as in if they get caught they're going to survive? No, they're generally the most vulnerable to all ins out of all other mid laners. Safe as in they aren't feast or famine? Yeah, they aren't, but they sacrifice tons of early power for the safety of being effective without generating a lead. They also don't really ever scale up in the 1v1 either, so they're almost always going to be outdueled by assassins, their strength comes from teamfighting.

If you miss a skillshot, you die. You don't get to move fast enough to run under turret, unless the assassin is jerking off, because assassins have insane gap closers and many meta champions nowadays have nutty mobility.

Mages are not safe because they are immobile and squishy. If you miss your cc as a mage you are dead.

Ahri is safe because she is an assassin.
