"We have nerfed mages for the 800th time because we do not like them."

"We here at Rito One Game believe that mage classes should require intellimagence to play, so to really help us reach the "class fantasy" (thx blizz), we have made it so you now have to play at the peak of a mages skill ceiling to be on par with everyone else.

We think that this will really give all the ad champions a more diverse champion pool to win lane against play against, and will increase diversity in the pro scene.

Now we understand that all two of you mage mains that still exist are probably wondering how you're supposed to last hit now that zed has a passive that instantly kills any champion that has a dorans ring in their inventory, but worry not, we have you covered. As you can see, we removed 10 MR from Maw of Malmortius, you're welcome.

We are however concerned with Marks-Man viability, as Graves is currently struggling as a support, and we feel like he might need some added damage to help him out in that role.

Satire Over

Real talk, I think a lot of you are overreacting to the item changes. Worse case scenario, mages fall even more out of the meta than they are, and the balance team realizes they fucked up when all of the LCS matches are just 8 ad's and two supports.
