Honestly I've experienced the opposite with this guy. Ever since the mage update he looked incredibly strong to me and everytime I played him I really felt it too. His damage is incredibly high and - more important - with a high frequency.

I allways felt like he was stronger than most other mages, because he has the Option to stand in the backline and poke or to burst People down with a Combo. And additionally most of his damage isn't blockable by a frontline, so the tank meta didn't hurt him as much as some others. Not even the Ardent/Shield meta was that bad for him because of his decent to low cooldowns.

And the new AP items definitly are in his favor. It's not an extreme buff to him, like it was for certain Tear champs, but it's decent.
