@Riot Remove mana from mage items

ALL TOGETHER. Remove this item 3802 , item 3010 from the game all together. Buff base mana, mana regen and mana growth ACROSS THE MAGE BOARD. Keep this item 3003 for those truly mana hungry champions whose playstyle literally is spamming spells AKA Cassiopeia Karthus and never ever come back to this stupid system.

Why you ask?

Because whenever I play mage on mid and face this abomination Zed or this one Talon or even this Fizz I HAVE TO BUILD THIS item 3157 . But if I build it, I DONT HAVE MANA FOR CASTING SPELLS ANYMORE. So either way, I cant even fight my enemy. If I go for mana, I will get oneshot. If I go for Zhonya, they will outpush me, roam bot and I cant even follow them without loosing on average at least 1 wave of creeps. Zhonya sets me back from my power spikes but its absolute must. WHY? When Zed builds item 3155 he isnt loosing anything. Same goes for talon. Why do these champions have virtually no mana costs compared to mages.

Or you could dodge their stuff. Then you don't have to worry about rushing Zhonya's for AD mids.

If you're really worried, just get Lost Chapter, then into Hourglass, which gives you all the mana you should need for early game, especially with Doran's and Biscuits/Corrupting Pot/Manaflow Band.

If you're just less confident, and want to be on the safe side, Armguard into full mana item gives you all the protection you need for early levels, even moreso if you take Perfect Timing.

Watch videos how to play against assassins as an immobile mage. I did that and it helped out so much. Now I don’t dread facing an assassin mid anymore.

one you tuber that is in diamond does this small trick that might work for you, buy boots as first item. No D ring or anything, that was mainly when he did garen mid tho, but the reasoning that he stated was so he can more easily dodge skill shots and get out of early sticky situations faster. And it might be good for you into zed, it can help with avoiding his q poke.

Am not forcing you do to it but just giving some food for thought if you want.

Sounds legit. Let's overhaul the balance because some people have trouble dealing with bad matchups. Cool.
