Riot explained the difference between AP and AD balance, and also outlined a plan to change the Mage class in the future.
Wizards have long been a basic class of generals in many MOBA games, and League of Legends is no exception. Usually appearing in the mid lane position, but only a few representatives in this class proved to be strong this past season. Understanding what is going on with Mid lane mages, but Riot has not been able to find the optimal solution to make changes because each champion has their own problems.
In an answer to the question about the difference between AD and AP stats in the late game, Riot Axes revealed that he and his team are feeling some misunderstanding about the value between the two types of stats. this.
Mid lane, which is usually a favorite spot for Mage champions, doesn’t seem to have received much of an impact from recent patch changes. However, it affects the choices in this position, typically the Gladiator class like Sett or Renekton is gradually becoming popular, or becoming the “playing ground” of Assassin generals.
Typically in the past year, only a few Mage champions were trusted like Ryze, Ahri, Viktor in ranked matches. Mid lane players in the past 2022 often prioritize Assassin champions because of the new items at the beginning of the season.
In the Reddit discussion, players questioned that it was easier for champions to reach 400, 500 Attack Power at the end of the game than 500, 600 Ability Power. This player also thinks that is the reason why many Mage generals have fallen out of favor in the past year. But Riot Axes explained that his team always has a reasonable calculation of these stats in the game, and also brought up a number of other problems that caused the mid lane mages to fall out of favor. However, this Riot also cannot promise any changes to come in the future. But at least, they would do something to get the Mages back to where they were.
