definitely don ' t believe you . You probably just saw one in a gym <| sep |> Unfortunately higher taxes are seen as the absolute worst possible idea by oh so many Americans . <| sep |> For point 2 , it ' s not a 35 % increase in damage . It ' s a 35 % increase in AP . Base damage is the majority of your damage at that point in the game . I cant help but feel that you overvalue void . It does reduce enemy mr significantly but does it really do more than a dcap ? Excluding really low MR like lower than 40 , yes void easily outdamages Dcap in terms of damage vs cost . Varies by champlevel etc but in almost all cases voiddcap for damage . Especially for backline mages . Dcap is better for waveclearAP scaling utility champs , that ' s itIn the end I just don ' t see how the traditional builds can outweigh this one dps wise . I ' m not saying other builds outdamage it . S e r a p h sMorellosvoiddcapliandrys is the highest DPS build for essentially any mage Edit depending on ability to use lichbane I guess . I ' m saying other builds offer enough in other departments movespeed , health , rylais slow etc to compensate for slightly lower damage
