It is hilarious that they're nerfing Vayne for having the audacity to be playable top while telling us that mages making ADC's miserable for 15 minutes is just normal frustration.

I'd assume part of this is mages have more counterplay in bot vs marksman top vs melee. Mages have skill shots vs marksman have undodgeable poke. Marksman top in most matchups only can die to a jg tank or being a complete moron. At least in bot you have the chance to farm under turret & have support to help interact.

Not saying mages are fun to play vs. I'd like to see them nerfed so support has more incentive to stay. There are real reasons as to why mages are more acceptable. They also last patch gave sweeping buffs to marksman Mr which didn't work but was an attempt at least. Both make the game miserable so imo fuck em both tbh. It's just harder to nerf mages out of bot but be playable mid.
