30 magic penetration, abyssal scepter and a Void Staff is going to eat MR and leave you with maybe 20 over base unless you have excessive amounts of it. Its not only in low leagues guys, shes not played at high Elo because why use her when you have Kha or Zed? But it isnt about her laning phase shes a typical roaming assassin in that regard its her alte game and mid game that people cannot tolerate. She can walk around free of worry and kill ANYTHING SHE WANTS TO the problem with this is WHEN she can do it. Its not like most mages that require you to actually build your core items, all she needs is a DCap and she is set....You can get that by farming alone and quickly if your playing early game well. Its not about defense/HP vs Damage its about power spiking for no reason whatsoever just because her bases are high when combined with the fact taht she hits numerous times.

They arent in competitive play because they are incredibly inefficient and are 100% more selfish than the average mage like Anivia. Also, they dont bring much to a serious team whereas Orianna and FIddlesticks bring utility, and pressure. All LB does for them is make the ADC scared and in a organized team LB is useless for this same reason. Shes predictable and the team will bait her out to kill her but this isnt the case in SoloQ and the 90% of LoL cant deal with her, thus she is getting nerfed. Keep disagreeing with me all you want but Riot sees this too.
