Please AP armor item.

2 AD/MR items.

AP/Arm item.

Why?

Why can I build Maw giving 55AD and 50 MR AND Mercurial for 75AD and 35MR.

Thats 130AD and 85MR from two very useless and borderline core items for AD mid lanes.

Meanwhile on the AP side of life, we can get Zhonyas Hourglass for 50Armor and 100AP

This isn't even including the MR boots they usually pick up for a bonus 25MR.

So from their 3 items, without sacrificing any damage they get 110MR, on top of the fact they already get substantially higher base resistances to begin with AND higher health pools.

Just confused as to why they are allowed to be so much tankier without sacrificing anything.

I'm not even including the proc of Maw or the active of Mercurial.

EDIT: Completely forgot to mention the fact that someone on your team will most likely buy Locket, giving even more MR, yet there is no aura for armor.

Rito pls, your bias is showing.

due to the vast amout of damage a standard mage does i think another ap armour item would be too much.

Zed and Yasuo do just as much damage. Mages will generally have higher damage because they usually poke their targets down and allow time for healing.

Which means they are also safer since most mages are ranged. Zed and yas have to go in to get their damage out.

And then Zed can teleport out back to the safety of his backline after removing all CC on him.

As an ADC i won't pick item 3139 and item 3156 . It's such a waste, I still need AS, Crit, moment speed. If I'm getting 3 MR items with base AS then maze will kill me while i'm waiting for AA reset( Leblanc Fizz Annie Fiddlesticks Cassiopeia Malzahar ) to name a few at level 6.
