Bot Lane Mage Please

Wolfram Oxford··3 votes·401 views

Can we get a mage that can go bot lane? I think its a cool concept. Someone who has dps, but also has a mage play style. I am not talking about another Teemo, Azir, or Cass. I am thinking something like Vox from VG. They have mobility, dps, and burst.

Mobility, dps, and burst sounds op

there's champions who fill this role already, the reason marksmen mostly go bot is because teams need a late-scaling champion and they don't really fit in other lanes very well.

Variety in games. Is that not Riots goal? Every other class has had their time out of the spotlight, so why can't the marksmen have theirs slightly shifted?

Not to mention that if you think that marksmen need to go bot because they have nowhere else to go, obviously have never faced: a top/jungle Graves or Quinn, a mid lane Lucian, Ezreal, or Corki, a Teemo(who is a marksman) an Azir(also a marksman), a top lane Jayce, Urgot, or Tristana, a mid/jungle Jhin, or a Kindred(seriously...). And who could forget the ever lovable support Ashe.

So Marksmen are not struggling at all to find other lanes. So tell me, why is it such a foreign idea to want an ap carry that could go bot side? It would be a nice change.

And since when are marksman the only class that could scale into the late game? Let me introduce you to: any tank ever, most assassins, Azir, Kayle, Syndra Veigar Viktor Ziggs Zyra. (Im sure I missed a few, but I only went for those I knew to be late game scaling.)

Get on the DPS mage hype train.

Mordekaiser Vladimir Ryze Zyra Karthus all have sustained magic damage and bring something special as the farming half of a duo lane. Just expect to have a hard time pre 6, most of these champions were designed to scale with levels and have a hard time acquiring them with split XP.

Zyra? Having early game troubles? What are you smoking?(Please tell me it's not her...) Zyra can hold off bot lane 2v1 by herself (as support, so no farm). Just imagine what she could do with farm and a support!(I suggest Janna, as she makes up for the squishiness by playing keep away. Plus she can water Zyra's plants. Or Malzahar, twice the cancer. Syndra also works, with the knockback and stun. The possibilities are endless!)

Doesn't Azir have mobility, dps, and burst?

I've personally been wanting to try Taliyah in the bot lane with her new buff to her Q. She has fantastic poke and can push really well.
