i feel like they removed a lot of utility or defense items in exchange for … random new damage effects?

like there’s no item that helps with waveclear, there’s no antiburst item anymore and they even removed utility like everfrost.

the worst offenders and biggest reason mages lack buid diversity because they NEED to get those items (deathcap and void staff) are still there aswell.

idk but doesnt really seem like an improvement at all. even adcs have more variety and not just 5 items that only differ in the way they deal additional damage to enemies lol

i mean its nice that cosmic dirve is actually useable now but i still dont see horizon being picked over shadowflame and everything else is basically the same
