A problem with what Morello said about Athene's
Meddler's exact words on a thread were: "Athene's was changed because of how heavily overlapped with Morello's it was, the two items had always occupied very similar spaces to the extent only one was ever popular."
Okay, I'm following what you're saying except that...
What was that about overlap?
- all cost 2600 except at 2550
- All 30% crit chance
- All 30-40% attack speed
- All give movement speed
ADCs get 4 choices for the same package of stats. But mages as AP carries are only allowed one while the items 
and 
are_** already dictated to them in 90% of games**_ along with either 
or 
. So now we just cut them down to 
and dictate 5 items of out of their 6-item build. That's fair. It's bad enough that the 
changes, 
and 
are worse on mages than for AP assassins to abuse them with. But no, lets just cut our big CDR options down to one item. Both major mana items for APCs already take 10+ minutes to stack and they're not allowed to have sustain, so it's not like they're getting the short end of the stick in itemization.
Yes, Meddler said in his next comment that they need one more AP/20% CDR item. That's great, except
2 is nowhere close to 4. Nevermind the synergy with the infinite mana item 
This is why the mage roster update has been a total failure and more people are quitting.
