Give resources to all champs, and force energy users to buy items that enhence energy pools or regen

Topic says it all. No champion should be resource free it literally isnt fair and riot has made it clear from a design stand point they refuse to give those champions weaker abilties to offset the lack of resource management and thus zero gateway to using thoughtful use of their abilities (see riven or yasuo for example).

Energy to a lesser degree, simply isnt fair. Not only does the champ have less to manage from a resource stand point when we look at the total volume of abilities used compared to mana users, BUT THEY NEVER HAVE TO BUY INEFFICIENT ITEMS for the sole purpose of boosting their resource. aka My first time back I buy a tear, you buy 2 long swords who got stronger me or you?

sigh Cooldown only champions are meant to be early game bullies once they hit their power spike. Denying these champs the ability to snowball prevents them from using the power spike and actually forces them into a less favorable position.

Energy champs have to regulate their resource even more heavily than mana users as a they get one to two full rotations out of their ability combo where as mana users typically get three or more. Champions are already balanced around being cool down reliant or energy reliant. Basing them around mana or mana-esque as you want, would mean re-balancing them and throwing off the entire game for a season or more.

Gee, the person who has higher base damage, more CC and now can slowly work into spamming their spells more than Zed could dream of certainly can't be stronger now that Zed has two long swords can they? Actually, they can.
