**Battle Mage Signet **costs 400g +15 ability power +50% base mana regen +15 Movement speed (or +x) (Unique) Passive - Basic attacks deal an additional 3% - 7% (based on level) of your ability power as magic damage to Minions & Monsters

info about passive

-Doesn't proc against Champs -Since there is already a mastery that deals up to 5 bonus damage on hit against creeps, the passive is weak in the very early game, gaining its power in the mid-early and late-early game. -Can be a godsend for the nearly unviable Melee AP mids (Kassadin, Ekko)

Level Scalings at Level 1- 3% of your AP on hit Level 2 - 4% AP on hit Level 4 - 5% AP on hit Level 6- 7% AP on hit

Idea behind this - Melee AP mids can be extremely oppressed (to an unfun and unhealthy level) in the early game until around level 5 to 7 when they are versed against any kind of ranged mid or an AD assassin.. this item will help them get in and get out while allowing them to CS slightly quicker. It gives you a decent passive and a slight move speed buff at the expense of hard sustain compared to the other two starting rings.

I believe it fills a niche that item 1056 and item 1082 can't fill.

Anyways.. I thought this was a healthy idea, any thoughts?

The flat movement speed isn't nessesarily needed, and the scaling %AP aa dmg wouldn't make sense on a starting item that is meant to be sold. Since the item as is is slightly stronger than most starting items, perhaps:

Battle Mage Signet costs 400g +15 ability power +50% base mana regen (Unique) Passive - Basic attacks deal an additional 5% (based on level) of your ability power as magic damage to Minions & Monsters

That way regular ranged AP mids cant abuse the extra movement speed and ease of cs, and will have to sacrifice the mana sustain of dorans and the extra health it gives. I like the idea of having an item for this sort of situation, although dorans as is is a very efficient item, and it really doesn't make a differece if your melee vs ranged mid.

Did you just call Ekko nonviable? I had to stop reading there because I now distrust your beliefs.
