Two things come to mind.

1) I suspect you'd open up with your initial salve of spell damage before autoattacking in a teamfight. That mean you open up with burst damage but then you have an item that encouraged prolonged autoattacks. You're not going to get the benefit of MRes reduction until the second round of burst damage (which isn't guaranteed).

2) Your autoattack range is 525 which is even lower than Vayne, and you're amazingly squishy. You have to put yourself in a lot of danger to take advantage of Malady while waiting for your CDs, and will probably die if the other team focuses you. You don't have lifesteal like AD Carries to stay alive longer either.


I'm trying to think of a way to add some CDR into my TF builds and nothing seems to flow smoothly

DFG perhaps? Blue Buff + Blue Pot is 30% CDR so you don't need a massive amount more to reach 40%.

I'm so sick of all the GP rushing avarice blade just because they think it makes Parrrley better. Nope, since it works with every last hit. But they get trashed in lane and are useless since they don't even change it into something useful later.

WHAT?? Is Athene's getting nerfed again? After its last nerfs+the introduction of cheap Tear I really only see people getting it on Lux and sometimes Ahri and Orianna.

DFG. Rush it first in place of Dcap and you get 15%, 15% from TF's E and the last 10% from elixirs.

I usually go DFG -> sorcs -> dcap/lich depending on if I need the movespeed and build from there.

I think he just needs to stop playing Lee, never been impressed with his Lee play. I think he's alright when he plays other champs, past his prime in comparison to his CLG days (I think other players got better rather than him getting much worse) but still an alright pro jungler.

That or I read it badly. It was in the thread linked for the AD casters nerfs, the idea was that AP as a stat isn't the end-all thing, and putting more AP into the items isn't the only change that would make AP casters better.
What's annoying me right now is the lack of real way of reaching 40% cdr on an AP caster without bleu buff. Sure, you could buy locket or things like that, but from real AP casters items? Morello, CDR boots, DFG, Grail. Grail doesn't suit everyone, nor does DFG, so you're basically forced to go 9-0-21 and chug blue pots, or build cdr boots/Morello, which I don't like.

Honestly dfg is good for almost every ap atm.Like the only popular ap that it isn't as good on is orianna(and that is early later it's still a pretty good item).And with how many bruisers mid there are you can actually burst them really easily if you are fast enough.

I've always been under the impression that they never wanted CDR to be easily available to damage dealers and instead have it be a stat to allow champions that bring utility to increase their utility.

With the change to DFG I think it's pretty good on every single AP mage in the game. Doesn't do current HP, does max HP. You just won't benefit from the increased magic damage but 15% of a targets max health as an active is always nice. The fact that it gives 100 AP and 15% CDR means you'll probably buy it eventually on every mage.

The competition back then was so much easier, I think most people agree that SV declined while everyone else got better in this new season.

But at the same time they are very definite about the fact that most AP casters also bring utility (Morello insisted on this in one or two posts of that thread). Hell, mids are chosen for their utility rather than damage, even (unless they're Karthus). I wouldn't mind CDR being on less AP-heavy items (I like Grail for that) as long as it's available. Champs like Syndra are require to build it anyway.

Regarding DFG, I build it pretty often on Syndra (Orianna's plain better except for Syndra's E wrecking gapclosers, esp. during ganks, and her ability to 100-0 somebody so I may as well use it) and on Swain when farm and flow allows (good for killing somebody, deathcap better for pure damage, zhonya for survivability... NLR would be such a good item path on him if it wasn't too expensive to be built early when behind).
I don't build it on Viktor, Orianna, etc. because they are AoE in nature and the active is better to snipe someone who steps in range with a spell rotation, nor on Morgana since it'd be best used if you can cast Q+W on a key target during your ult, which isn't the easiest thing to do against competent teams.
