6 mage really needed that buff

A secret to combat mages: use 2 crystal as tanks.

For sample Ashe and Taric can shut down the entire mages team.

Wrong. The crystal comp works like that only vs assassins (the Crystal comp is the best counter for assassins).

4 Mystics + Dragon's Claw and Poison comp - is actually the strongest counter for mages. Unfortunately, unless you're insanely lucky - you'd have to be among first 3 with perfect economy to increase your chances for find this comp late game. 6 Mages on the other hand - are far easier to find especially if you're among the last early game (so you'll have priority at carousel for tears and spatulas).

The Poison comp also works with 4 Glacial instead of Mystics - at countering the 6 Mages comp. And that - while he had 9 units of which 3 were lvl 3 - while all my units were lvl 2 and only 8 of them.

Poison only really works if you manage to get singed and preferably 2 star singed otherwise your poisons don't do enough. My biggest problem with mages is Vladimir and Viegar... does veigar really need to one shot lower star levels? and if you don't have morellos or redbuff vlad just tanks everything.
