This board has such a huge Mage bias and it makes having objective discussion impossible

It's actually pretty disgusting. I thought the tank bias was bad but honestly, even when being wrong or irrational, tank mains just want one thing: they want to feel like they're actually tanky. Whether you agree with that or not, hey that's one thing but they don't have these super unrealistic expectations.

Meanwhile, if you ever mention anything AP needing nerfed, you immediately get major backlash from the Mage players. If mages ever get nerfed when they're clearly fucking broken, oh no, it's not fair that the 58% winrate Mage is getting nerfed but oh man 48% winrate zed isn't getting nerfed!!

Then there's this hilarious expectation that mages should be good at everything. "Hexdrinker is bullshit, this champion that I can't just click on and win is bullshit, AD is bullshit they get to have everything!" "Why can't I 100-0 their ADC, aoe cc their entire enemy team, take 50% of the enemy teams health, protect and enable my carries and do it all while being from long range and safe??" Seriously, it's absurd how Mage players think their champions should be able to do everything with no downside.

Meanwhile, AP itemization is still the best itemization in the game that double dips and in some cases triple dips into stats. AP itemization is rarely even purchased for its passives or actives (obvious exceptions are Zhonyas and tear) because you can get CDR, HP, mana regen in almost any item combination so who fucking cares if you don't need a passive on an item like , buy it anyway because it gives 100 AP for some reason. No other class can do that, they have to seriously think about every item they buy and the passives they come with because raw stats aren't just good enough.

And hey, I'm not hating on mages honestly. I understand AP itemization does have drawbacks and I understand there has been times where mages were weak (but that has rarely happened). But the degree to which these Mage players on this board bitch and exaggerate about how weak their champions are or their inability to look at anything objectively is such a clear sign of bias.

Seriously, try to point out something AP is overpowered and you'll get downvote bombed so fast. Rylais is fucking broken right now, pros are even building it on lmao. It shouldn't be giving 100 AP. It gives too many stats, it's not even about its cost. The cost as it is right now is fine but that item gives too much shit. is basically rushed by every Mage in AP vs AP match-ups and this item is hilariously cheap for all the shit it gives. And again, while the cost probably IS justified, an item giving that much MR while offering CDR and a nice chunk of AP is laughable.

I'll probably get downvoted into oblivion but it just gets annoying as shit when you can speak objectively on this board about everything except mages. I mean, look at them being mad about vlad being nerfed when he's literally 1v5ing in competitive play lmao. So whatever, I honestly just wanted to get this off my chest because ts ridiculous how circle jerky this board is but the Mage bias is so bad it's not even funny.
