Mages have access to so much health that they are bordering on the line of a tank. Tanks provide utility/cc while soaking up damage. Mages nowadays can easily get over 3000 health while providing CC.
They may do more damage than tanks, but they also soak up damage. This is making the roles almost the same.
Mages need alternative defense items other than health.
ZLbSwAR23I1 votesNo, just you.
Defended1 votesYes. They do have too much health. Brand with rylais + liandrys + rod = balanced? Lol please.. Pop a zhonyas and you're good
newbin1 votesIt's that or get 2-3 shotted by a back line dive. Now mages can survive a mistep or live long enough to get peeled from the high mobility burst champs. I have been doing max cd, high health, high pen,and with less then 250ap brand for over a year. I can trade and kite with anyone and CC, harass and zone control. Before the spell vamp nerf I could actually go heads up and with 70% of champs. true brand players know that the mage patch wasn't a nerf it was a secret buff. The new 3 spell passive means I need even less ap to do more damage I jsut need to stay alive long enough to get my spell combos off multiable times to win the fight.
What is the point of doing high damage if your not alive long enough to do any damage? It's better to deal decent damage with cc over a longer period of time.
