What can a mage do if their Skillshots are on CD and a Kha zix is just infront of you with 5% HP?

Auto attack Right? Too bad my champion auto attack does Negative Damage and I'm dead. Can mages have their 5% AP on basic attack back please? At Least I'll be able to finish off that kha zix.

Does it mean u are overextended or burned all your skills mindlessly? Or maybe kha just waited forcu to be defenseless and attack you?

At 5% hp? Would you fight a Full health mage at 5% HP? Yes you would because they don't have power outside skillshots.

Which is what made a mage a mage since early '90 even in d&d et simila

If having a 5% hp enemy in front of you is overextending then yes

Or you could just pick an AD champ and in the same scenario you're not overextended.

What can a mage do? Auutoattack. U answered yourself. So basically kha played on your weakness. Why would u give all mages a buff because of their class weakness?

Why kennen top built dorans blade? To cs and harrass.

I don't know why you guys have this fetish of Riot having "AD BIAS" or "AD CHAMPS STRONGER" but I guess that's what most mage mains act like, because if you actually started thinking for 3 seconds then you'd realize that AD casters apply to this as well, such as Zed which with no W, can die. He can die due to his W on cooldown unlike a mage who needs all of their abilities on cooldown.

The issue is mages options are really shallow unless their kit specifically makes up for it. That's why I pretty much only play Vel'koz and I don't play any other mages.

Here are my issues:

  • Autoattack becomes completely worthless after early game. It's an action you can take, but it barely even matters. It's like when an AD champ has a damage ability that scales on AP. They stopped doing that because nobody liked it.

  • Itemization is mostly offensive and there is one good defense option, Hourglass. We can't choose between niche defensive items based on the situation. Offensive items are just whatever fits your champ the best. There's not a lot of adaptation during a match. AP itemization isn't any more interesting than it was 9 years ago while ADs have gotten a lot more depth in their options.

So I'm not even complaining about balance. Just things that aren't fun or satisfying.

I've never been too fond of AD casters because they can always right click you to death when their cooldowns are up. I'll never forget the Kalista who dodged a full Zed combo only for him to crit with the old Youmuus on a single auto and chunk her entire health bar.

Well whats wrong with it? If Khazix got on top of you with low hp and you have no abilities up then obviously you are being outplayed by him, because he knew you had nothing up. You're just removing outplay potential for yourself, and making mages stronger for having a weakness. Also, this will for sure warrant MR buffs to a bunch of champions

So I mean, why are you even posting about this?

I don't get pissed off when Viktor lives with 16 hp while under my ignite because he Q'd me last second while I was low hp. I think that's the exact same thing.

I'd like Arcane Blade back too, but the Kha was just smarter than you and that's not a justification.

The mage/spellcaster has always, since the dawn of RPGs, had shit self defense without magic..that's why they're mages.
