[My Thoughts]: AP Itemization

[Disclaimer: These are just my opinions/predictions on the subject based on observations I've made]

So It's my understanding that ALOT of people are calling for an AP Itemization update & I've seen a few salt posts here & there about how bad mages feel. Personally, I do agree that mages aren't feeling all that good (Depends on which one you play. Veigar & Fiddles are my main squeezes in the mage department at the moment) & AP Items could definitely afford to be looked at. There is a reason why the Riot Balance team is holding off on AP Items for now & I think this may be the reason why.

[Runes Reforged]: Runes/Masteries were a very important aspect/mechanic in League. With Runes Reforged, they introduced all new mechanics (Kleptomancy & Summoners Spellbook are great examples) to the game that players will have to play around. It would make sense that they hard focus on making sure that** ALL** the runes are in working order & that champions are properly toned down or beefed up to compensate for this major change.

[AP Itemization]: While the AP Items are in _DIRE _ need of work, Runes Reforged was a major project that took Riot's Dev team possibly a year (Give or take) to finish. So my guess here is that they figured they could hold off on AP Items for now & get the big project done first. As for what I think of the scope for the AP Itemization Update, I'm going to predict that we're definitely getting number changes on most of the Items currently in game (AP/CDR/Armor/MR/etc.). They might rework a few items such as Rabadon's Deathcap , Rylai's Crystal Scepter & maybe an update to Void Staff (possibly splitting it up into two items like Last Whisper ). I'm also hopeful that we get new items as well (Possibly something that builds out of QuickSilver Sash ).

What do you guys think?
