[Senna]

Senna term: I called this a while back and I knew this was going to happen. Removing almost all viable silence options instead of toning down some of them as well as adding new items/support onto super bursty magic classes. You'll find yourself playing the game on a timer. Who burst who down firstly or who can max resist on who first. It's hard because people can merely build a tank/will, get that trait that lets you use your star sign element to convert your will into the given element attack and get away with just standing still, buff themselves up, and hit with overpowered spells off the rip. Whereas no one can really do much about it. Get too close? You'll be in range. Run away? You'll still be in their range. You have silence options? And you're not a hexer? You have to do a great effort to slow them down but that won't stop them.

That's not even mentioning all the bonuses mage has been getting; from hitting someone to reduce elemental resistance by -10%, to a new element to custom tomes with powerful spells, to reducing magic defense. This list goes on.

Simpler terms: I knew mage would have gotten out of hand prior as I've predicted it. As mentioned, the nerf towards silence was a bit too much. Mages currently have far too many tools at their disposal, which is increasing over time. With the lack of viable silence options, they're able to get by unpunished while possessing some of the highest burst damage in the game. Due to this, they’re currently difficult to handle.
