Why does every mage get to be a tank with 500 AP?

???

Liandry's, Rylai's, Zhonya's, Abyssal, Then either another defensive item or a deathcap

3200 hp, 150 armor, 120 magic resist, 500 AP

Then you have champions like Kennen, Singed, Rumble, Diana with innate shields or resist boosts and they literally become mundo

Yea ok lol

Huh. 700 HP 30 AD Auto attacks slow

400 HP 40 AD 20% CDR Bonus MS on hit Armor reduction on hit

30 AD 30 AP 30% AS 10% Crit 8% MS 250 HP 200 MP Bonus MS on hit Spellblade

60 AD 40 MR More AD the less HP you have Shield upon going below 30% (Magic damage only)

80 AD 35 MR Removes all CC and one second MS buff.

In total, 240 AD 1350 HP 20% CDR 30 AP/30% AS/10% Crit/8% MS 200 MP 75 MR

"There's no tanky AD items that give good AD" K The only problems is there's no AD/Armor items.

Today, OP discovers that feeding a champ enough gold to buy all those items becomes nigh unstoppable.

Like any other champ.

Only mages have itemization that lets them do that

Those are all really good items but that build only optimally works on a few mages... though I agree mage itemization is really great ATM

Zhonya is the strongest item in the game IMO

Just suck it up and deal with it, Mages kind of deserve this moment in the spotlight after the whole first half of the season left them basically useless because of mana and other item nerfs.

where the hell are you getting all that health from? what's the average mage's health at 18? like 1800? Maybe lower? The highest is Diana at 2119. There are 5 mages above 2000, give or take. Most are less than 1900. So those two give you +700. great, that's about 2500. Where the hell is that extra 700? Most mages aren't going to be building much in defensive items with the exceptions of the ones that grant AP.

And if you really think a squishy ass mage is gonna tank a lot of hits, you're so, so wrong. Especially when the enemy is building... you know, damage and penetration.
