used all of my refund tokens 2 weeks ago to refund 3 mages ( orianna, ziggs and and buy 2 assassins and 2 marksmen ( Fizz, Talon, Sivir and Caitlyn ) instead of them and boy what a satisfaction it was, my advice is go after these classes because they are :

1 - easy and safe to master and yet the most rewarding of all ( prepare to be focused by all and first because of that though ).

2 - great comeback possibilities because of their great scalings ( all what you need is some farm or a stray kill ).

but if you like being an orky ( manly ) ork warboss by playing mages pick either veigar or malzahar as i found those 2 to be the only mages that can scale good mid and late game but they are hard to play as you dont have neither mobility to reposition if you went wrong in positioning ( in viegar case, using your stun will render you useless and will open a precious 16 sec - so long compared to Fizz 8 sec E - window for the enemy team to engage in team fight because he is so dependant on it to land all of his abilities because they are either short range or have big delay ) nor have the sustain to recover from pokes or bad positioning but the satisfaction you get by scoring multikills when playing them is worth it unlike when scoring it with an assassin or an adc.
