FQC is being nerfed more for mid than support

First off, mana regen is far more important on mid laners than poke supports, because on top of harassing with spells, mid laners also need to waveclear with spells. So no matter what, mid laners need mana far more than supports do.

Secondly, base mana regen was buffed by a lot on almost all mages in the preseason to compensate for the removal of the mana pot. So mana regen is less of an issue than ever before. So 100% increased mana regen on Morellos is way stronger than it was last season and last season Morellos was a reasonable mana regen item for mid lane.

Lastly, 150% mana regen was overkill on supports. It's overkill in mid lane too. After the mana regen buffs I've never gone OOM or been worried about it regardless of what mana regen item I buy, because you get so much innate mana. What are you doing that requires you to go OOM on a support? Spamming all three spells as soon as they come off CD constantly? If you're doing that you're doing something wrong.

item 3092's active is OP. The range and speed on that item is ridiculous.

I don't entirely agree with that statement. Particularly when comparing them to Caster heavy supports (such as Sona)

The need for wave clear, isn't necessarily mean that the APC is going to be a bigger spell slinger, than a support. It simply means that their spells do different things. And since supports can't afford to build lot's of AP. (and many times don't even have good ratios.) Their best build for increasing Utility is CDR, which is going to increase their mana consumption.

The reason people aren't picking up a Morello isn't due to the mana regen is gives they aren't picking it up because the passive is such a Niche passive now and is hardly ever useful so it is a wasted stat on most mages.

Either way Riot still hasn't figured out a why to fix the problem with this item or make other mage items more appealing to take over this support item. It still provides all the stats you'd want on a mage but at a cheaper price and the active is just to good! Especially if you have them stacked on you and the support. Not only that but even with the changes to this item, I'm still able to collect 1k plus gold on the passive in every game I play.
