Uhh they still are. You never want a team of 5 AD champions, so there is nothing wrong with an AP champion being picked.

Worlds finals were Malz vs Cass, Malz vs Ryze and Malz vs Karma

Nothing but immobile AP mages, and both teams had a fair amount of magic damage even without them

It's time to stop

This is the lamest "ap mids are weak" thread I saw till now.

Because the difference between 250 armor and 300 armor is pretty much null, I might as well put a damage item in that slot.

haha, if only they could do that even.

Mages have had most of their % damage removed or made premium, so really you just need to build armor and stack health, because the mages will be waiting on CDs after they've done their full combo and only done 1/3 of your health

I think that:

  1. Yes, AP champions (and all other champions) should be valued for their unique strengths/playstyles.

But...

  1. Team composition should matter, and if you are fighting tanky champions, then you should need to bring a mixed damage composition to prevent them from stacking one resistance type.

I don't think point 1 and 2 contradict one another.

lol wut... a tank isnt going to die to an AP champion anyways... (unless its like Cassiopeia) why waste an item on MR

You're talking out your ass and you know it.

If you're only choosing an AP champion because you need an AP on your team, it wouldn't really matter WHICH you choose.

And yet Orianna is a top tier competitive pick, while Heimerdinger is relegated to Rezone youtube clips.

You pick your champion for what they bring that your teamcomp needs. That's how it's always been and how it will continue to be.
