Meh. I think APs are getting nerfed too much. Zhonya costs 500 more gold. Rabadon 300 more (most expensive item along with Trinity Force). RoA too, 300 more. Lich Bane 200 more (though it gains 10% CDR so it's a fair trade). Luden too. Same for Liandry and Rylai. Void Staff 150 more. Morello 250 more. Athene and Archangel 100 more.

I hope it's not because of the new Mejai's Soulstealer because I don't want to rely on a snowball item in every game.

And before you tell me that it's because of ambient gold increase, think again. A 50 minutes game will be giving 420 more gold while an average AP build costs 1000 more gold. And everyone gets that 252 more gold, not just APs. Yeah, ADC items have higher costs too (something like 100 to 500 more gold?), but ADCs are stronger overall. AD assassins are receiving decent buffs, though Brutalizer removal nerf their early game. I'm not against these changes - ADCs were pretty subpar and, as a mage player, I didn't like to see almost no ADs around - but AP cost increases look huge.

Then again, seeing how the game's been mid-centric for a long time, maybe mid laners were just overpowered. But come on, 1000 gold. I'd honestly be fine with it if Rabadon was 3600g (like IE and ER) and Zhonya was 3200g.
