League of Legends

Mages bring a few unique things to a team. The first is unparalleled burst power. Physical champions rely on auto attacks and harassment to bring enemies down, whereas casters have the power to combo all their powers onto one target and effectively kill them in the short burst. They also are gifted with powerful area of affect spells that can do substantial damage to multiple targets. This helps weaken a whole enemy team allowing for your team to pick apart the weakened opponents. Casters are generally a challenge to play with Anivia, Karthus, Kassadin, Heimerdinger and Veigar having considerable learning curves, but good champions to learn with are Annie, Ryze and Fiddlesticks.
