Getting really sick of AD Assassins having a clear advantage over AP Mages
"buut buut mages have 
.. they're fine!"
No. Not at all. For multiple reasons:
-
is a stack item, takes too long to stack for it to be relevant. Also, Seekers does not offer any type of waveclear/combat stats for mages (CDR, mana or mana regen) If a mage rushes , the Zed, Talon and Yasuo can effortlessly push wave and force the mage to go oom. -
is a good powerspike for mid lane mages. It gives desperate need of defenses, too bad that by the time you get , the AD assassin has already hit level 8 and has been able to all in you at anytime for the past 2-3 levels.
-
Without any armor/cdr/mana regen options, AD assassins are free to roam as they please and the poor mid laner is forced to sit at tower and farm minions.
This is getting out of hand. The constant balance struggle between mages and AD Assassins will never be achieved in this state. AD Assassins are at a HUGE advantage due to their own itemization, lack of real resource and lack of AP armor itemization.
Please Please Please can we add an AP/armor item that gives AP mages a fighting chance against Talon or Zed?
because she's over buffed.
essentially makes mages worthless early on, unless you're 
or 
, but those matchups tend to be risky because of the nature of Assassins.
Try it out.
