I would gladly trade the +%AP buff (PBE) on Rabadon's for a lower cost.

As it stands, Rabadon's is the most expensive item in the game. More than IE as well as Triforce. It doesn't feel good to use/buy and I often find myself purchasing anything besides Rabadon's because of how poor the item feels.

It's okay if the item becomes less cost efficient as long as I can buy it sooner in the game. A reduction of 200-300 gold feels warranted considering the prices of other items.

EDIT: I should clarify they're raising the amount of AP it gives you by 5% on the PBE. I'm not referring to the item's current AP buff.

Meddler is a botlane main, so ADCs have to be the prize of the game.

Don't expect anything nice for mages ever.

The whole reason mages exist is so that the enemy tank can't stack flat armor.

Except what would be the point of such an item then, It is flat AP without the passive, so it becomes bland.

The passive wouldn't go away. There's a +5% extra AP buff on the PBE as it stands. I'm saying I'd rather have a cost buff.
The entire item is already bland. AP + %AP wow good item. Same thing with IE.

It'd kinda mean that mages, and most AP champs in general, would all need to be rebalanced. Which would be rather problematic if you ask me, because it'd make a long series of champions getting overbuffed or not getting enough compensation for it.

Ah, I thought that you meant the passive should be removed, Yes I would love that change actually. Possibly even reduce the AP% to lower the cost further even.
