There's 2 things in AP champs favor. The first is that they didn't get a whole lot from runes before. The second and most important thing is that everyone is losing MR because no MR blues anymore. That'll increase your damage throughout the game by at least 8%.
Mages don't need the extra AP now.
AD are loosing mr, but AP are loosing armor too. Also, in season 7 people were going hp scaling it was more efficient than flat MR.
