Why 1 mana?

JavelinJoe·May 31, 2018·7 votes·3,973 views

One of the new Talyiah changes made her Q cost 1 mana while used on Worked Ground. But why? Why not just have 0 cost. 1 mana is pointless. All champions regen that and more in 1 second anyways.

makes scene i guess, but then why not make it like 10 mana so you can heal slightly (around 2.5 hp) from item 3010 items.

1 Mana probably codes to "a spell is cast" which is for tears and stuffs I assume

Tear, and because if they had made it 0 mana, Mordekaiser would have gotten another 7 bugs, causing Yorick mains to cry about not getting a skin.

Which in turn, gives Mordekaiser another 3 bugs.

Everything causes Mordekaiser bugs. Even Mordekaiser bugs.

Like others have said. It's for the sake of Tear.

Item interactions. First, Tear of The Goddess refunds a portion of mana spent. If Q on worked ground refunded 100% of mana spent, then Tear’s mana refund would still proc, since she did spend the mana, giving her another 10% refund for 110% total. More mana would be refunded than spent. Also, if Q cost zero mana on Worked Ground, then Taliyah could not stand tear with it there. Second, Catalyst of Aeons refunds a portion of mana spent as health. Casting Q with a 100% refund would let her gain free health just by casting the spell.

No....."why" because the meme was used incorrectly.

He probably assumed the code doesn't allow ability to become 0 Mana based on location. Which isn't the case but he probably assumed that.

Its a buff for her.

It seems that this whole website is the complain dump.

PrinceOfStormsJun 1, 20181 votes

In this case it's because the simultaneous nerfs annihilated her. She can't waveclear at all now because Q is single target, her damage is teamfights is down because again, Q is single target, and the pressure that her R applied is down because its duration is now 5 seconds at all ranks.

As was said, tear stack.

But also, while cost refund equals out to no mana cost, it can still leave you unable to cast at low mana, which can kind of defeat the purpose in this case. A mana cost of 1 makes those extreme edge cases impossible.
