Now that AD assassins have a new toy
Can we take a look at the abysmal CDR items for mages?
A solid item now that the cost is back down, still not a great choice for any champion without mana costs, still a bit annoyed about the GW nerf.
Awful item on nearly everyone, but especially those without mana issues.
Niche item for Kayle, Teemo, Diana, and AP Xin. That's about it.
Another niche item that's not very good on most mages.
Another niche that's good on maybe two mages.
That's it. That's all we get. It's impossible for most mages to viably get max cdr without using runes.
I'm not entirely okay with reliance on an outside source (runes) to reach the 40% cap on mages, but I can deal with that if we just had more options that work on the majority instead of the rare cases. Five items for cooldown reduction, but only one is usable on most AP champions and it still comes with wasted stats for nonmana users and against teams without healing.
