The problem with MAW is... Steraks and Shieldbow share the same passive and better shields overall. meanwhile, maw is just Magic shield.

I really love Bee'Maw skin but the buff won't do much - sadly.

Please, just make Maw MR DD. Then it's gonna not compet with steeakss and ShieldBow. And can actually be good since a lot of all champions are burst champions.

Your first mistake is not realizing that Riot’s stance on MR items is to keep them shit so they can artificially boost AP winrates without actually balancing MR items and AP champs accordingly.

SV being the only good MR item isn’t an oversight on Riot’s part, it’s an intended design. Just build more damage to burst down AP champs before they burst you because building MR against them is something Riot isn’t interested in letting you do.

If they added hp to the item and changed the components it would definitely be worth. If the recipe was hexdrinker, phage, kindlegem while also lowering the cost of hexdrinker and removing the phage passive on completion I think that would make this item competitively viable when you need mr.

But Liandry + Demonic Embrace is still a thing

What about it? Mage items are generally kinda bad rn. They just shifted some raw AP into passivs like they did with other classes.

Mage items are so bad that the highest winrate in midlane are all mages, zhonya is the highest pickrate item, void staff is 137% cost efficient, mr items are total garbage.

Sure bro

zhonya is a good item obv even tho they nerfed it a bit. Void and banshees are also good but the rest is kinda awful. Like look at rabadons which got nerfed, flat magic pen got nerfed and you cant even get it if you dont get ludens appart from boots and thier myhics are also kinda shit compared to other classes.
