Is There Enough MR For The Mage Meta

TTVSushiDevourer·Feb 23, 2016·2 votes·594 views

With the mage meta right around the corner i wanted to ask everyone if you think there is enough MR in the game? Locket is going to be a must, it practically already is. Ever since the removal of Force of Nature i've felt that personally there wasn't enough MR in the game. Spirit Visage is a wonderful item, it melds much better with most builds in comparison to Spirit Visage, but i feel like the should of just reworked FON and also added Spirit Visage. Possibly add +5 MR here and there? Im more concerned about ad champions, Maw is fantastic to prevent the burst and you can always build Spirit Visage on a Bruiser but the squishies is my concern. What will prevent mid mages from bullying ad mids? Of course the buffs may have very little affect on the Meta but this is just an idea.

Thoughts?

ap mid bullying ad mid? rush item 3155 and ap deals no damage on you. if anything mages need better armor items

Maybe i should add i don't play mid lol. Is the armguard not enough? Maybe adding ap to the item with armor. Thats unfair because hexdrinker gets offensive and 2 defensive stats. Hexdrinker is OP i apologize.

Armguard just needs 1 more bonus to make it even with hexdrinker. Im sure everyone would pay an extra 100 gold for maybe a shield active

But you do get a bonus of 15 armor and Ap after 30 minions so its kind of situational.

the problem is that mages have to burst you down, and hexdrinker just prevents you from being bursted AT ALL.

seeker's armguard is in itself a really good item, it's just that AD scales with AA and AP doesn't, meaning you can unleash all your abilities as an AD and AA on top of that, while the AP user has one combo of his spells, which will never outtrade somebody with hexdrinker.

Mage itemization is still horribly expensive. There will be no "mage meta".

Juggernaut path gave us item 3053 item 3742 and item 3748 . It isn't unreasonable for mages to get some new items.

And if they do, the items will probably be ridiculously expensive as the rest of them.

It's true. I don't have the most knowledge on the struggles of mid but since they are moving towards a lot of mage reworks it is possible they may alter prices or add new items like Ralanr said for juggernaut meta.

...yes? Spirit, Banshee, Maw, Aegis and it's upgrades, Abyssal scepter, Athenes, Zzrot, GA, QSS, and Wits End EDIT And that's not even counting the universal counter of just building health, which you get from too many items for me to bother listing. There's plenty of defensive itemization against mages.
