Full damage outscales tanks

Unless you're a mage.

Not even Brand Cassiopeia Heimerdinger Ryze Malzahar late game, whom were meant to deal with high health / resistance targets wont do absolutely anything due to not having the oomph to even tickle certain champions.

There's another option to just kind've ignore the tanks and create opportunities to kill primary targets, this style sortve resides with Lux Syndra Orianna Annie ... Good luck getting through the barrage of ADC slaves/slave items item 3504 item 3109 item 3190

The new runes are a step in the right direction but not really fixing the problems with midlaners in general.

*Lack of item diversity and build paths. It's hard to accumulate really high AP that will keep up with ADC scaling. There should be items that deal with shield stacking and targetted ally abilities. Utility AP items doesn't have to mean another item 3092 incident or things such as item 3174

  1. Lack of magic penetration. I think there should be items built out of void staff/liandries that are extremely expensive but rewarding for cases of there being double/triple tanks in one game

  2. item 3089 is weak and inefficient. There's no point of buying it unless you are Veigar

Tanks outlet out scale mages if your team comp is all ap. Otherwise they don't build enough Mr to survive. No, as a mage you won't be 100-0 them but you will do damage. Just buy a damn void staff.

I once was a jacked up heimerdinger with a morello, void staff, liandries, deathcap, sorc shoes, rylais. Still did pea damage to a 6 item ornn with two mres items (upgraded mask and an adaptive helmet) where the rest of his items were armor. Even with triple turrets under a e, w double laser proc wasnt even enough to get him to 60% along with the ult turret up xd

But when Mages actually become good, they take the Spotlight away from RIOTs favorites, the ADC. Only the ADC is allowed to carry games in LoL, didnt you learn that by now?

I LOVE this conspiracy theory, please keep it up

TTanks are good in the mid game. There is no such a thing as a 6 item late game tank. That has always been intentional. Tanks have massive defensive steroids to give them their "6 item spike" as soon as possible, good itemization and their kit allow them to become tankier than anybody else, allowing them to momentarily do their job until they get pushed out of it by letting the enemy carry get enough items to just kill you again.

That's how it has always been, it's how it is intended and it has nothing to do with carry items being too strong or anything else.
