doesnt new agis give 60 mr? 30 from the item and 30 from the aura?

I still have to agree with OP, basically Negatron Cloak is the highest MR item?.. Weak. I don't like their logic of "AP's need to be able kill in 1 burst either".. plenty of AP's could do that in the first place, now you give them good items with magic pen and then decrease the MR and AP's are smoking even tanks in a single burst. I play AP a lot more than I do other roles, and even I think this is stupid.

FoN wasn't op. If it was op, they won't have maintained it since season 1. As for why they are nerfing all defense items i don't know why. They seem to want people to think offensive > defensive by nerfing defensive items. I see it as not only mr, but armor and health items also made useless.

Health New items features % hp, making health literally useless.

Armor Armor was also nerfed but they buffed armor pen items. Ex: Black cleaver, even if they put unique passive on all the current boosts, will still have 10% cd, and +15 armor pen which wasn't there before. This, itself, might not do some big damage as first item but imagine this with the new item that does aoe and lifesteal for melee's only. Only 2 items, and this can push lanes, harass tanks early game, and prevents the player from dying because these two items give you around 90 ad that can't be resisted early game.

MR As for mr, the highest mr items are now gone. GA and FoN were items made in season 1 and were amongst the ones that were nerfed. But the thing is i don't see any ap items nerfed. People can buy the same items but do more damage. Now imagine the new items with this that have magic pen along with %hp and hp.

To be truthful, I believe riot doing these gigantic changes are not good. I don't care if people complain and want MANY changes but it's like flooding the economy with money by printing more. It unbalances the game like how printing money does to the economy. It's not easy to adapt to 90 new masteries, 5 - 10 items that are gone, 30 items reworked, 20 runes reworked, all the minions reworked, all the monsters reworked, and 30 new items. It's just too much. I think and I hope riot will not throw this many changes at us again.

P.S. sorry if this is hard to read b/c my grammar isn't awfully good.

You know, I didn't ever go really heavy on FoN...

wait..

Sorry, I can't talk with Diana and Teemo laughing this much.

each of the current "designated" MR items in reality has it's own niche that it fills.
1. banshee's veil is for that spell shield and doesn't provide that much MR
2. abyssal scepter is an offense item for countering mages with your own ap, like amumu. It's an in your face item that says, i got close ranged AP and i'mma chase you around with less fear of AP in return. It's not actually a tanky item.
3. runic bulwark is great, but it's a support your team with lots of generic defense. I love this item, but it's REALLY expensive, and more of a tanky support item then an actual designated tank item.
4. spirit visage is GREAT for those with heals like Vlad and Taric, but for singed or leona there's not too much of a point.

also, galio misses his force of nature. he has a picture of it framed by his bedside and weeps at the loss of his beloved friend.
