Should blue buff give 15% ap while mage items have been nerfed across the board?

When Riot did the mage update, they also nerfed mage items giving them lower ap values overall. Part of the reason to justify that was because blue buff now gave 15% ap along with red dragon being able to grant up to 25% ap I believe. The thing is, I don't like having my overall AP tied to blue buff for the simple reasons...

-I can't guarantee I will always have it. -It expires over time. -My Jungler might need it and may not be willing to share. -If I want more AP, I'm always looking for blue buff, which can become a distraction.

Can we buff the AP values on ap items and remove the 15% ap from blue buff? It just adds a layer of complexity that's not needed.

I'd prefer if mage items received buffs instead.

That would be too much. You would get half a rabadons passive, ridiculous mana regen, and cdr on top of it. Too much to put on a jungle camp

Blue buff already provides all of that.

The OP was asking that they remove the bonus AP.

Mage items are fine, especially after Aegis lost MR aura. please stop.

It already sorta gives you an increase in overall ability damage because of CDR.

I mostly play mages and I like their damage output, especially since most have some form of cc

So with Rylies at 20% slow and blue buff no long gives 15% AP,... can we buff back the ap items?

Honestly, seeing the Akali rework makes playing immobile champs seem unfair.

Static shiv is way better for ADC that Luden Echo is for Mages.
