A way to keep Kleptomancy and normalize its power across users

PopcornBunni··2 votes·202 views

Have mana potions restore a % of max mana rather than a flat amount. As-is, low mana cost champions are balanced by having a similarly low mana pool. When Kleptomancy gives these users a blue pot, they gain a multiplicative greater effect from them than high-mana-cost high-mana-pool users.

If instead, blue pots restored 5% maximum mana over their consumption (6% after accounting for the inspiration tree rune bonus), it would normalize the amount of sustain it generates by a significant amount.

Instead of granting 100 mana repeatedly throughout laning making it a nightmare to deal with, it would grant more reasonable amounts: 20, 30, maybe 50 at higher levels. If these users wanted to take advantage of the mana resoration, they would have to give up damage going for mana early.

Just a thought from a random bronze III

This would just buff Klepto on Ezreal since he builds Tear.

How quickly is tear granting Ezrael 1667 mana during laning? That's what would be needed to reach the 100 mana it grants currently.

Tear plus Sheen plus Ezreal's base Mana. Depending on how quickly he gets Tear, he could probably hit that much mana around level 10 or 11.

That said, this change would also make the mana potions so irrelevant on most any other Klepto user that you may as well just remove the mana pots entirely.
