Hm. I only play mages in mid lane. I also get Ghost or Teleport to deal with the mobility issue.

The mobility is generally valued alot but I like crowd control a lot more and once you shut an assassin down in lane and don't let them get kills in other lanes that's usually it for them the game is over.

I mean low movement speed is an easy price to pay to have magic damage and crowd control to ace an entire team in a teamfight.
