Please either decrease overall damage in the game or increase resistances.

I dont care what your "philosophy" is, but damage is getting out of control in this game. if you die in less than 0.5 seconds there is literally ZERO skill expression to be shown there, all it shows is that you pressed all of your buttons as fast as possible and you are called "good" because of it. I dont know why the balance team has let it get to this point but its only getting worse. its so bad that certain champs are actually chunking 70% HP with ONE ability. Mages are probably the biggest culprit here followed closely by assassins.

im not saying globally reduce all damage by 30% or something, but go class by class, starting with mages, and start adjusting items and then individual champs. then move on to assassins, then ADCs etc. the term "burst" should not mean "i kill you in 1 rotation faster than your reaction time regardless of what defenses you build to avoid it". it should instead mean "whoa that guy just did alot of dmg but im still alive, i better back off a min".
