while each champion is different and talking about one aspect of a kit in isolation will not always be reperesentative of its power it is interestign how impactful that a champions resource(or lack therof can affect how they play) i do not like champions with no resources or resources that have no downside. an example of the former would be riven and the latter yasuo. while neither is op(overloaded unhealthy maybe those claims are more relative) it may be part of why they are both quite widely hated while not being that strong. the ability to cast every ability every time it is off cd is frustrating to play against if you are having to think about a resource. in my opinion all champions resource should have a negative not just a free sheild every now and then or your abilities are better occasionaly(renekton) while this isnt going to change aand i doubt it ever will i wish more "manaless" champions had resources like rumble or gnar. both these champions get a negative for spamming spells, rumble overheats and cannot cast for a duration, gnar in many matchups can only fight thier opponent in one form so needs to keep an eye on the fury. i am interested in seeing some opinons (:

See its really hard to say. I think sometimes resource-less champions can be good. The problem is when they aren't properly balanced around that resource lack of resources. They aren't made all that much because of the issues they can create when not properly balanced. Long cooldowns, negative effects, etc.

Heat is still an idea I would love to see used for another champion at some point. Creative resources are always my favourite when used right.

I don't really think the probleme is the not existing resource. Fiora for example is annoying comaribly to yasuo or riven even though she has mana, and garen is not as annoying despite not having a resource. While riven and yasuo are very annoying to face i don't think it is primarily because of their resourclesness, but their mobility.
