Yea, while i agree with some stuff about items, complaints like these are just head scratchers to me. You play a role that focus around damage, and you complain that your damage items make you do more damage in various ways? Yea, shocking i guess.
Yeah.
I can totally see the idea of "I want to build my champion in multiple ways" but there are already items for that. Like... just build a Spirit Visage if all you care about is surviving magic damage. Is the complaint that mage items have AP on them?
Saying that Seraph's, Void Staff, and Deathcap do the same thing is pretty silly. They do distinct things. They just also provide a lot of damage.
