All the complaints about mages being overpowered
MAGES
Ziggs going bot for easy first turret is understandable. What isn't understandable is this:
-
Don't complain about Assassins which have been long overpowered
-
Don't complain about playing as an assassin/adc and dying to a mage, it IS a mage. Arguably one the highest damaging roles in any game, and the same can be said for here
-
How do you think mages felt when they didn't have their rework? Dealing with "lol, shudve built zhonyas scrub GG" it sucks being forced into buying an item you think you shouldn't have to buy, doesn't it?
-
Getting Armor on Mages is so severely pathetic while bringing nothing to table still that it's obnoxiously hilarious
-
Zed used to have a specific item that took his ult and added a second, slightly less abusive ult passively, and until it actually went through on someone it was ALWAYS up
-
AD Assassins/Bruisers/Juggernauts/adcs have a much easier time building resistances to mages and mages were so useless that you guys never bought them, and now that you don't you QQ mages are OP
-
AD Itemization needs tuned down because when you do build MR you demolish mages cause someone finally had an IQ to do so
Item Problems and Unbalances
AD Item Variant
/ Mage Item Variant - None
AD Item Variant
/ Mage Item Variant -
Seems equal right? Wrong. This item also works for AD however Deaths Dance will work for mages but due to the fact that it offers nothing for mages except the passive, there is no point in the purchase whereas AD people can make use of the Hextech Gunblade.
AD Item Variant(s) -
/ Mage Item Variant(s) -
Oh boy, less penetration %, a bit more point of ability power, but no special passive like either of those items, both of which counter the point in mages building rod of ages and rylais/liandrys. Go figure. Add a
and a mage is pretty much done.
You might be thinking, but mages burst me down too fast you scrub, stop talking. WELL LET ME SHOW YOU SOME OTHER THINGS!
AD Defensive Items
(I'm putting this one here strictly cause anyone can pick it up and it basically says you can't protect a turret from an overpowered siege minion late game if you're by yourself as a mage)
Wit's End is here cause as far as I can see no mage other than Teemo/Kayle[Which are both ironically Marksman by kit design LOL go figure] are going to want this item as a definitive buy
But thats okay, I'm sure mages have items to counter AD People too, oh wait, it's just health other than Zhonyas which got nerfed. So no, Mages are indeed not OP.
tl;dr = Look up stuff and learn how to build before you guys cry about something being broken when it's not. Ziggs, yes for that W. But Tristana can do it too guys. Just not as instantly as Ziggs.
Edit: I should probably mention you at most need 2 of those Magic Resist items to fully counter a mages damage now. So you can either keep the boots and add another Magic Resist item, or remove the boots, take 2 AD/MR items, still have Attack Damage and shred through our health. So please just stop with those overpowered threads.
