This mage update will be a failure

I mean, if you get hit by all his abilities to the point were you have be marked with the passive then at that point you kind of deserve the true damage ult to the face.

Problem with mage update is it addresses none of the issues(to the point where it actually makes things worse) and creates more problems. Mages needed more sustain and in response it is gutted. Mages needed reduced item costs and in response the AP ratios are gutted.
