So when are the mages getting new items or compensation to old ones?

Every AP item is getting its AP lowered and having CDR tacked onto it. Rylai is getting its AP lowered to 75 whopping AP. Soon it's impossible to hit 500 ap with standard mage build if this keeps going on..

Also mages are soon going to have the same problem as ADCs, which is that every mage is building the same items when number of viable options is cut. Rylai is garbage tier item with the changes, so again, along with hourglass we have now 2 very situational items.

Dear Mage Mains,

Fuck off. The highest win rate and the highest play rates are all fucking mages. Your champions do not need buffs.

Mages aren't meant to get shit tons of AP to one shot people. That's an assassin's job. They're adding more CDR options and lowering AP so you're more of a spell slinger and not someone who just turns into a better assassin late game.

And please, if you want to argue 400 health, 100 AP and spell slow is fair, you're delusional. I play mages and I can't remember the last time I didn't build this broken item. There's almost no mage this doesn't work perfectly on, and that design needs to go. Utility items should never be mandatory, they should all be situational.

Maybe if mages stopped trying to hit max AP and started itemizing intelligently to fit the current game, they wouldn't cry so much about their broken items getting gutted.

I am 100% convinced that riot is trying to make an assassin meta and not actually trying to make all classes equal.
