"Mages should get have more ap" -mage mains

{quoted}

It's garbage, because:

1. The item stats aren't worth the slot.

Thats because it has the strongest active in the freaking game attached to it. the item is very slot efficient with the active in mind.

2. In 95% of cases that "literal invincibility button" only delays your death by 2.5 seconds.

if it is doing so in 95% of cases, that only speaks of your terrible usage of the active as opposed to the active being weak. Here is a tip:

Stop using it to delay your inevitable death.

Literally no one is making you do it but you. ._. And whats worse is that since the CD was increased, doing so means you will likely not have the active next time when you actually could have used it for something.

DFG was actually not worth the slot without the active. That doesn't mean the item in UP, it just means that people that don't know wtf they are doing screw up (no shit).

3. The other 5% are Morgana and Kennen.

There is at the bare minimum a 1% that are LeeSin and Malphite so your calcs are wrong :P

Ironically most champions getting Protobelt also buy Zhonya's.

For the CDR and survivability. If they aren't getting Zhonyas they are gettign abyssal. They usually get a combination of the 3.

Which proves my original point. You pick one or the other. you can't have your cake and eat it too.

The point is that you put RoA in the "get this for high AP" category and Morellonomicon in the "scrubs get this and complain about the lack of AP" category, despite the fact they both give as much AP.

I wasn't saying that morello is a "scrubs get this" item. i was more trying to make the point that these (all the items in that group) are the ones that people are getting as a "rough build" as apposed to the ones I listed prior that would help them get more AP.

it isn't about what morrelo does, nor was i tryign to say getting it was bad and resulted in less AP. It's just about what people are actually building and want, and what they want is CDR. That CDR comes at the cost of raw AP however.

I didnt put any mr or armor items even though zhyonas is a staple on mages and hp gives you just as ap as non hp builds so why go for less surviability for the same damage not to mention if you want more damage seraphs embrace cant be beat as a single ap item on any champion with mana only rabadons beats it when you have more ap to stack with it which when you have seraphs embrace and other top ap items cant be beat again.

Don't get me started on true damage. Most toxic game element there is.
