Why is there no item that punishes ranged ap with damage?

item 3068 and item 3075 cover everyone else. No banshees does not cover this.

Glade Mirror item 1057 + item 1033 75 MR Unique Passive : Returns 15% of spell damage to attackers (Returned damage is calculated before damage mitigation.)

Because casters are gated by cooldowns and mana, autoattackers are not. Also Lifesteal is far more effective than Spellvamp and when used with some MR is decent enough against reflect. Spellvamp is so terrible right now it would never help you against the reflect.

Seems like an ok idea. Though a is all about that burst doeh, not a dozen autos

In that respect wouldn't Thornmail return a lot more damage than this?

Thanks for the reply, I suppose thorn mail would return more dmg but mage are already gated by cool downs and large mana costs. On top of that almost every adc builds lifestyle to stay alive while most mage don't build spellvamp.

No. There's no reason... this would become league of Thornmail Glade Mirror... everyone would build them... so people would be incented to build dmg, but not TOO Much or they'd delete themselves. Doesn't make a lot of sense. Thorn mail makes it so fed AA's can't just romp people unforgivably. Any AP mage has to blow their load to delete someone and then have mana cost / cd's.

I've Gotten TONS of Thornmail kills without even touching people. I really don't see the difference.

AAs and having to cast spells ARE NOT THE SAMETHING. Like everyone has said casters have mana and cool downs.

Riot's said no to this before.

The main problem is that SV is much less available than LS, so burst casters end up instanuking themselves with no other real option. Which sort of defeats the whole point of having glass cannon mages. There's no interactivity to it, they just take a massive chunk of damage every time they unload a spell rotation on you.

And SV is kept unavailable because burst casters who can massively burst heal themselves at the same time are really obnoxious.
