Hexdrinker: Why?

RestInWoosh··4 votes·583 views

There is about 1 item for mages that counter AD, that being the beloved Zhonyas. Seekers arm guard being the rush item for armor. Maw of Malmortius is the 1 item for AD that counters mages. The rush item being Hexdrinker. Look at the difference. Zhonyas puts you in g-g-g-golden mode, making sure everyone has time to aim their crosshairs while your DoT is DeD, whereas Maw and Drinker give you a bonus steroid while you do what you were doing. I honestly don't think this is fair right now. Considering how strong AD mid laners are Zed Talon and how immobile certain mages are Brand TwistedFate , i feel like there's an injustice. No one champion should get dominated so hard, and yet Brand has a 25% winrate against Zed. This is so disgusting. Either nerf hexdrinker, cuz it's already just a bonus nullifying orb, or give some love to mages. Zhonyas on Brand probably makes him faster considering how many dashes he has summoner 4

because mages outscale assassins and zhonyas outscales maw

Mages don't outscale akali, talon or zed. And that assumes a game lasts long enough for a mage to outscale any of the other assassins

I don't think adding another armor item is necessary.

Just make Nullyfying Orb an Adaptive shield so it actually makes sense for a Mage to take it over Manaflow Band.
