Burst Mage Itemization
Hi friends. I think burst mages need more choices in itemization.
At the current moment, the only item I can opt for if my goal is pure, raw, unadulterated damage at any cost is Rabadon's Deathcap. Void Staff is also useful if enemies stack MR.
But that means there's 3 item slots (after boots are considered) where there's no AP item in the game that gives as much raw power as Rabadon's Deathcap or Void Staff. Spellbinder's movement speed is helpful, but the active effect and 120 AP don't feel as powerful as Rabadon's or Void. It feels as though once you complete Rabadons and Void Staff, there are no more choices left for an absolute glass-cannon style build.
I think League needs more AP items that cater to burst damage dealers. In previous iterations of League, we had Deathfire Grasp, which when paired with Rabadon's was quite strong. We need more AP items that support a glass-cannon style of gameplay.
