So I made a whole argument against yours, as long as yours, and it got deleted in a flash because of "session hijacking precaution". I'm so pissed off. Here's the about:

Since preseason: - Items give less AP - AP items got more expensive - MR items give more MR

--> Result (interim): In midgame, AP Mages fall behind almost a whole item in terms of damage vs. tanks

If you build Abyssal, you also build Sorcerer's. Mpen is only effective if your opponent has low MR. A tank with MR Boots and Banshees will hardly feel the difference between you with 70 Mpen or 0 Mpen. Result: The gold spent for Mpen goes to waste vs. tanks ---> you fall behind even further in gold

Comparison: You're now the 0/8 adc who has to kill the tank.

Part 2: Abyssal + Sorcerer's vs. <60 MR. Here that combo (+Mpen quints) grants 25-47% damage increase. So with other words, a big fat shit ton of damage. Pair that with the MR, and any AP vs. AP lane is almost automatically won. Just pick any Dia5+ replay where only one guy builds Abyssal and look how the lane changes when he finishes the item. One second he's getting his ass burned by his opponent, next second he's the one burning his opponent's ass.

Don't take it personal, the hate I wrote this with goes against the system that deleted the initial post.
