Why play Mages?

[Josh]

Mages tend to have fairly good utility and burst damage which makes them good. They do kind of fall off late game, but their utility tends to make up for that, they are also good at ganking top or bottom during laning phase to give your team an advantage because they can either clear out waves super fast and leave lane, or they have great mobility and can get top to raep.

I mean really, have you seen an Annie gank? It's like *A wild Annie has a Appeared*, and 75% of your HP is gone and you're stunned.
