Dear Rito, pls give us more mana (utility masteries discussion)
I've already written about this in more detail elsewhere, but now that the changes to utility masteries have gone through I just wanted to take a moment to once again put out the request for Riot to go through and evaluate champions' mana cost and mana regen stats. Any mana-hungry champion who took 21/0/9 or similar masteries (including Meditation) is now under significantly more strain in early laning since 1.5% mana regeneration is significantly more useful than 75 extra mana. For instance, I personally feel that Syndra's W mana cost at least is too high (60/70/80/90/100); using it any significant amount very quickly puts her out of mana. I'm sure other examples can be given (Lux, Ziggs...).
I'm not calling for any change in particular, I just hope they re-evaluate mana costs and mana regen stats on a number of champions (mostly mid-lane mages) so that these champions aren't unfairly mana-starved in the early game.
