Mages and Supports

SirNavarone·Feb 10, 2018·1 votes·256 views

So back in ye old times of around S5, mages had mana regen, it wasnt insane, but it allowed them to lane longer and sling spells willy-nilly. As part of Riots efforts to make Support into a very impactful role, they gave and left a LOT of mana regen on support items, enough so that when they get 1 or 2 items, they are able to sling spells willy-nilly. So what if we just swapped those out at this point? Give the dmg ap items mana regen and supps mana pools. Cause id like to be able to see a weakness in a support, like Lulu is oom, she cant do much here, lets fight it. Or something or other, im just curious if this would be a decent idea, no i don't think this is ground-breaking thoughts, but im mostly curious to what the community thinks of this

I do not know if you realize this, but this would be buff to Bard

They could just give him a flat amount of mana instead of percent then, the game is malleable, I just thought it would an interesting dynamic bot lane, since the supp just needs mana to keep the adc alive, but if they had a pool instead, i think it would make bot lane more resource conscientious. Have a good day friend!

Oh no, it would not be that huge of a buff to him, so it could totally go through, but I am saying that he might become one of the dominant supports, and it would be interesting because it would make his sustain that much stronger but he is also a roamer, so IDK the full extent. I love him as he is my main and this would be an interesting choice.

Or we just don't cause it's a bad idea.

Enchanters are doing fine in solo queue, but pro play is all about tank supports and catchers, none of which really give a shit about mana regen as long as they aren't dumb with spell casts. So you'd just nerf Enchanters out of any viability at all. I say we just don't do that.
