It currently serves as one of the things that allows mages of many types to not go oom, sometimes laughably quickly. I'd like to know if there will be any option in the new system to pick mana sustain up pre-game.
Sohleks4 votesI suspect they might be tempted to remove it and buff mage mp regen another way so that you get to choose more "fun choices" if you get what I mean..?
Anu3isII1 votesNah, they will increase the Max Mana by 50 and decrease Max Mana per level by 3 for every Caster, while Supports will get Mana Regen.
Because Mana Regen isn't a stat Mages should have. /s
FourVsFive2 votesYou do have to sacrifice the extra dmg mastery though for it. And they getting rid of the Doran ring stacking. Its not that good as you think 1.25% is not much specially for low level.
Very Hard Engage1 votesbut that would allow people to rush needlessly large items too soon, we dont want that because then they also have wave clear with it
RocketRelm1 votesI'm not sure if serious or sarcasm, but I'll respond as if serious and apologize if in jest.
Mages by and large don't get their early waveclear via a few extra droplets of ap, they get it via levels. An extra 30 ap, if they even spend their gold that way, usually won't significantly impact waveclear.

Doesn't 
one of these just basically get rid of almost all mana problems for every mage that is not supposed to have mana problems?
SteelMankind1 votesDouble dorans is more common on AP champs who don't have glaring mana issues.
RocketRelm1 votesWhich, I will point out, is going away thanks to "triple Doran's Gallo top".

i was speaking from riots point of view.
riot doesnt want to inject more mp5 than what we already have due to raw ap builds and burst being what they were, they never want that again.
i assume mp5 will still be an optional lesser stat but unlike a keystone. if at any point it gets to be too much its going byebye altogether and hurting mages will get some base mana buffs.
Toadally1 votesIf there isn't mana regeneration of any kind in the new system, my main 
might, uhh, fall on hard times, to say the least.

Well it wouldn't ruin him, but the mana regen helps, especially in those awful poke matchups.
Irelia Bot1 votesI hope they remove it
Relax if you want mana you can run man... oh wait they are removing runes as well
DaNinad1 votestriple dorans ring karthus is basically a tear
Resolution1 votesI use it a lot on Nami for early game spam heals.
