A little change that would reduce LB power without changing her

Which is reverting Null-Magic Mantle price to 400g. I mean, it was increased because Athene's was everywhere, but that doesnt happen anymore. Also, we dont have items with mr before going to lane phase. We have ad, ap and armor, it should exist a thing to counter heavy magic as well.

Or we drop it to 300g and 15 MR like Cloth Armor so that champions can go for an anti-harassment start.

No, what would reduce her power is if her ult actually had a mana cost instead of being free.

I say that this won't happen because, if have been playing long enough, you might remember a weakening or removal of high mr items to allow burst mages to be more effective. With the removal of DFG, it seems even less likely that mr will become more available. Armor, the counterpart to mr, is more readily available because auto attacks hit a lot more frequently than spells do.

The reason for this is that if a burst mage fails to kill with their burst, they are largely useless in a fight. Giving easy, early access to mr will not allow a burst mage like Leblanc to get the income she needs, or have the impact she needs to have at the earlier stages of the game.

I don't particularly dislike the idea, but I don't think it will do much of anything to check LeBlanc. What mid laner is going to start item 1033 if given the opportunity?

Galio :D would love to see more Galio

Or some AD assassins might opt for a null-magic vs a high poke AP laner so they can rush aitem 3155

What's a Galio?

AD assassins are quite likely to prefer the longsword/3 starts. Flask/3 seems more interesting than NMM/2.

I dont know, he is listed as a counter to some Ap people though. I think he is a reference to that cartoon Gargoyles I watched as a kid.

Yeah, longsword/3 is more attractive but I would like to have the option of an MR start though.

it was just buffed so it's everywhere again soon anyway without additional buffs

btw you can buy the mantle on start with gold masteries

Because mid laners would get support masteries.

I hear similar arguments for never taking anything besides ignite to mid lane.
