Almost every single champion dominating all the lanes where supposedly mages are ''free elo and izi wins'', is not a mage. Proof?
A single mage on midlane. Not even the boogeymen ''mage supports'' are strong. But apparently the best solution, instead of nerfing AP assassins and Mordekaiser, is to... nerf AP items? Again?
External link →Idk what urin elo you play in and how the f**k darius loses that matchup but man he surely must not have hands
Poppy players generally have way more experience in the matchup, since Darius has been the most common matchup since season 6.
As the /u/TitanDweevil already said, Talons waveclear is pretty bad in comparison.
LeBlanc, Qiyana, Ekko, Diana (arguably not an assassin anymore), Zed, Katarina, ... can all clear waves really easily and quickly, which in my opinion is the core problem to control mages falling out of favor.
Skillshot reliant control mages already have a hard time against very mobile targets, but if those champions also have the option to just oneshot the wave (often times without resource issues) and snowball the game you just don't have anything to do in the game cause they have all the agency to dictate the game flow.
LeBlanc definitely doesn't clear waves quickly, nor easily.
No. Burst mage or something.
LB is an assassin with some mage characteristics
She isnt.

Look at riot subclass.
And to be honest its obvious she isnt same as a Fizz, Talon, Zed...
Her play pattern is way more similar to a champion like Fizz than any mage
Syndra Cassio Zoe Ryze Vladimir Lux Veigar Orianna are all in a decent spot atm, this is just reverse circlejerking.
Why should mages be better than assassins in soloq btw? Soloq is a perfect environment for the assassin champs.
Imagine unironically saying that Lux is decent lmao
She's closer of Ahri than Fizz or talon.
In the end Riot listed her like a mage.
Yeah no lmao
