AP mages are straight out unplayable this season.

Their required itemization is way too expensive and has been gutted. Meanwhile the itemization that counters them has been massively buffed. The fact that they can be totally invalidated by a 1300 gold item that gives damage is just sad. To back up my claims here is some champion winrates: Viktor: 44.5% Veigar: 44.8% Cassiopeia: 45.7% Syndra: 45.8% Orianna: 45.9%

The only mage with a good winrate is lux, but that is because she is very simple to play and people still don't know how to play against her.

A suggestion to fix this tragedy is to revert the gutting of mage items on patch 5.22. Before that evil patch, mages were in a decent spot.

Ahri.

And yes, she is a Mage. Not an assassin.

Vel'Koz, Galio, Morgana (mid morg that is), Anivia, Malzahar, Lux, Heimerdinger, Annie, Twisted Fate, Zyra, and Swain all maintain AT LEAST a 50% winrate (some of them going as high as 53%)

Theres also quite a few who are just barely under 50% to the point that the difference is nearly insignificant.

AP itemization is by no means in a good spot compared to AD itemization (which is flat out amazing) but people are making this into a bigger issue then it actually is.

We are all pround of you defeating a Bronze 3 Zed...

How about i tell you about a bot game? pretty sure even thats holds more value than your argument...

BeldairMar 25, 20161 votes

The argument that AP casters are unplayable is null and void to Solo Q matches where i have beaten players as an AP mage or in the LCS where the pros destroy as AP mages.....And your bot game holds less value than a US penny soo....

I think you are incapable to understand your own and my point... also you are taking the op literally, which he does not intend to.

Try reading your first comment again... and like before, i dont know why you think that a botgame is worth less than your bronze plays... [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]
