Mages feel so utterly useless right now..

Hey there! Ever since the mage class was impacted heavily with the nerf to the prices of Ap items, its been extremely difficult for mages (in general) to do anything in fights really, they just get bursted or do not do enough damage. What riot has done to balance this, was buff individual champions... this might've worked but its still not stable. What the mage's need is some cheaper items like it was before. In other words, revert the changes! Make luden's reasonably cheap once more, and morello maybe just 200G cheaper! Attack Damage items are much too strong and offer a lot of stats with plenty of burst, and since mages can easily be counter by magic resistance so are attack damage carries! However, magic resistance is cheaper and gives you more in reward, however armor is a bit more expensive and harder to get your hands on. Please do something about this Riot! - CFood

I agree. I get 1 MR item and I don't care about mages any more. I have 3 armor items and I'm still getting shredded by ADCs.

As a Mage main I could agree on lowering the price of some items, mainly item 3089 and maybe item 3285 but I don't think item 3165 needs any price reduction at all. The only thing I'd really want would be decreasing the price of Rabbadons from 3800 to like 3500 (or 3600), and maybe another AP + Armor item OR making item 3191 item 3157 a little better (mainly Seeker's...Seekers feels terrible).

ummm, there is a reason champions like Syndra and Taliyah are constantly on the ban list. Mages are not weak.

What are you talking about?

I consistently top Damage Charts playing Viktor. Pretty sure I can do it with Lux, Ziggs, and late game Vladimir too. AOE nuke and burst is insane.

If anything, assassins can't do anything past 30 mins and result in auto loss unless your team was ahead (and keeps the lead).
