Question: Did the new items for ADC's made mages obsolete?

I'm really curious, but didn't ADC's made mages obsolete now? Why would you play a low mobility mage when you just can go APC ADC? Runaan's Hurricane, Statikk Shiv, Rapid Firecannon and Wit's End and you probably could even skip buying boots with all the movement speed bonuses you get to buy another item.

The passive ENERGIZE is also not a unique passive.

EDIT: Well it seems to not really do enough magic damage, it'd be a hybrid.

No, they did not. Ask Malphite and Rammus with their 60% winrate why picking a full ad comp is stupid.

I understand what you're getting at (and I've tried similar onhit builds season 5 with kog and teemo with runaans) but I think what kinda kills mages right now is how expensive their items became. Some stats got nerfed and STILL saw a price increase.
