Question for Meddler on Panth

My quick question is: Will Panth's mana issues be addressed/covered in the preseason?

The removal of mana potions are cause for concern, and while there is a new flask thingy may work, I feel like Panth will be limited to that start (and only that start) because of his mana costs that add up quite quickly...and that's if he wishes to kill an enemy. Right now, I am able to be more offensive, with a Long Sword, 3 pots (2 health, 1 mana). I need 1 to 2 mana pots every time I back up to 27:00 min. into the game. This kind of limits my offensive capabilities...just curious what your thoughts are on this. Thanx!
