Logically, more mobile champs should do less damage?
So why champs like Fizz and LB and Zed, etc....that can do both? Not an "X champ OP" thread, more so asking why these champs are allowed to have crazy damage and crazy mobility.

Compare Veigar to Zed.
Veigar sits at a nice comfy distance away from your bruisers, and instabursts your mage or any squishy in range, and continues to DPS until he either dies or the fight is over.
Zed, with little to no survivability items, jumps in on your ADC, and literally is now sitting next to the support and the rest of your team, given that your team knows how to delete Zed, they turn, kill him in less than a second, and he MIGHT kill one person. If they DON'T kill him, he probably runs out of energy and then is forced to auto attack, at which point he still hurts, but all his burst is completely gone.
Also, all 3 of those champions have abilities that if one specific ability is on CD, your damage is significantly lower. Zed's ult, Fizz's W, LB's Q or R
Well actually mages do much more average damage over a course of a team fight. But, assassins just concentrate around halfish of that into 1 target extremely fast. Someone like Anivia only needs ult and E and you can chunk enemies for like half health and E has a 3 second cd. Velkoz's ult does massive team damage. Orianna can crush an entire team with a well placed ult. Brand is another example and so is Zyra. Mages focus on aoe damage as a whole which make them great team fighters. If your in a premade 5 a mage will do alot better than an assassin but, in soloque alot of times fights are broken up and picks are 50% of the game so assassins do great in the solo que environment. Thats why assassins are so good at carrying yourself in ranked. but, mages in ranked teams can be deadly.
