It's also worth mentioning that mobility's been highly valued in the meta for years now -- the popularity of assassins and mobile champions is hardly new -- and this is the first time in a very long while that a whole class of assassins are getting a serious nerf via the removal of DFG. If anything, immobile and/or skillshot-dependent mages are going to have it easier now, because bar exceptions like Ahri, and  most of them never relied on DFG for their damage in the first place. The burst of AP assassins is now relegated to that of any burst mage, so there's no longer an issue of AP assassins outmaneuvering and out-bursting immobile mages at the same time.
