My Aatrox should have been a God in the face of ANY Mage oriented comp. But yet, I lose to Ocean Mages? A mage comp that doesn't even deal a lot of damage? Mages are BROKEN.

My Aatrox had... 200MR 50% magic damage reduction. Max Spell crit%(Via Lunar) 6+ Light procs. CC immunity. 45% Evasion.

And he dies to Ocean Mages? No, there wasn't a 3Star Veigar involved either, Really? Really Riot?

Your comps looks like if Aatrox dies so does your comp.

It would help to know what they have, I've played a 3* Syndra that has one shotted full teams in a double cast.

Brand does a lot too, Wardens usually are paired with ocean meaning your Aartox probably wasn't cutting through them fast. You have no one to threaten Syndra and Brand "assuming they were there" both probably did 6-7 k each even a 2 star Syndra can put those numbers in with decent items.

If you have no threats other than Aatrox then your comp just takes longer to beat is all.

With just a jewel guantlet, you just have 45% base crit. After 14 seconds, you will have 75% crit from lunar, but chances are aatrox will already be dead or by then or close to it. I don't think you'll be able to survive for 28 seconds against an ocean mage comp to get 100% crit.

You might get 2 spell rotations off, but a crit spell from aatrox2 only does 1k damage. Most 2☆ units can survive that, so it's not as much of a killer as you think it is.

So I'd put my money on some bad RNG of aatrox not critting and bad positioning with no backline access.

I know what ya mean. 4 mystic would seem to be screaming "anti-mage" but then you still get plastered by em and it's an awful feeling to be losing to a comp you would think according to game design would be tailor-made to counter and it just doesn't happen because of "LOL double cast" to go along with the ocean buff.
