[SUGGESTION] "Presence of Mind" remaining time.

NKSk Zoikunsang·Jan 31, 2018·1 votes·267 views

Hello! I think it would be nice to have a "remaining time" indicator when the rune "Presence of Mind" is activated, I know we have the "white mana bar" effect but it doesn't really help that much (for "Manaflow Band" it's fine since it's only one cast). Right now I have to count or guess how many seconds are left (for allies, enemies or myself), it's annoying and I always end up spending mana on the last cast. I don't think you need to make anything fancy about it, adding Nautilus' timer or one blue "disable bar" above HP is enough! [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

OBS: seems like very few players actually use this rune and to be honest I'm shocked, even on ProBuilds or any other sites people skip this rune on... huh, few champions. Why? [zombie-brand-mindblown]

I don't think a timer for PoM is even necessary, as it refreshes per take down, you generally will end off with a fight without using mana after the first take down in team fights. Even then, you can generally time PoM with your skill cooldowns. For example, if you're Kassadin with level 2 ult and 20% CDR, you have about 2-3 Riftwalks worth of time to cast depending on when you casted last.

PoM doesn't get picked up often because it's only good on certain champs, generally champs that spam a lot of spells and have build paths that don't include mana items and actually need it to stay in fights

Unfortunately I have to disagree since mana is something valuable and I'd like to have proper information about it. About "refreshes" it does make sense if we end up wiping the enemy team, but in longer fights I do have to control my mana usage; during lane phase I usually have problems whenever I level up and try to harass/heal, I can't simply lay all my skills before time runs out however I don't have the info about how many seconds I actually have (you see, sometimes you level up when the wave is still coming at you and you have to kite back). OBS: I don't think it's healthy to add timers on enemy champions.

About PoM picks that's exactly why I don't understand few builds, there are few champions that clearly benefit from this rune yet people simple go for random stuff and end up building mana items on supports needlessy. Maybe it's tunnel vision (did Kassadin steal the spotlight?)...

Could you give a few examples of champions you think should take the rune but don't?

Since it's off the radar I fear Riot might have a look at it and nerf my beloved playstyle. (back on my local server I'm currently playing with PoM and having a blast, lol xD) Just look at mana hungry champions and you'll see, all I can say is forget about Anivia or Swain; I asked about PoM on Reddit and I'll post here whatever they said about it.
