Some of the reworked mages are just objectively worse designed than the pre-patch versions.

Not all of them, but some need to be reverted

which ones and can you elaborate more? i knew brand and vel would be broken from the start, but the rest seemed fine-meh. cass in particular seemed largely the same in that her kit sill focuses on her E for damage... just now with more move speed and utility

Vel's ult feels on par power wise with a normal ability. (poorly designed power distribution)

Anivia's growing ult was just a stupid idea

Fiddle is nearly impossible to out trade in lane

Malzahar's whole kit was terribly reworked. Almost all of his power is put into his W, his overall game play is extremely inconsistent and unreliable, and they homogenized the AP/AD play styles, in a way which leaves both feeling identical. His passive doesn't play into the rest of his kit at all. I actually went back to the discussion thread about the goals for the malzahar update, and they failed in just about every way. The new champion is left in a spot where his numbers will either be tuned to high and he'll be broken, or they'll be to low, and he will be useless.
