Mana problems?

The thigh guy·Mar 21, 2019·3 votes·2,498 views

Is it just me, or does anyone else notice that going oom seems really rare now? I’ve had entire games where I just never run out of mana unless I’m actively spamming.

Agreed. But i think its more because people know how to play with mana

Depends on the champion Playing Ahri or Fizz or Sylas drains mana in an instant Playing Neeko or Zoe lets me spam for ages and still have mana Nothing changed at all lol

I’ve never had mana issues on ahri. Fizz and Sylas idk about cause I don’t play either of them.

Illaoi ooms all the time

Not if you know how to play with her mana.

Moody PMar 21, 20192 votes

If you're playing to be the giga oppressive lane bully that boards purports her to be then she definitely does

arguably just as much in losing lanes where you need to max Q and use it to keep from being shoved in

letsfeedtogetherMar 21, 20191 votes

No. as a bully. You can still have mana.

If you land her abilities that problem doesn’t happen. If you blindfire her e all the time then yeah she’s going to run out of mana.

I might run out before my first back (as an adc), but since I normally take Manaflow Band, after that point I'm just good since I typ8ically am able to back with 200-250 mana from Manaflow Band, so the bonus 250 mana + passive just makes sure mana is not an issue.

Riot has dumbed down the game so much. You never run out of mana or health anymore. There is far too much sustain for both mana and health nowadays.

Between item 3802 and MFB (by the way Boards, when are we getting rune icons?) you have to be SUUUPER mana hungry as a champ to oom yourself

It’s not even just mages. Thresh, gangplank, kayn (mostly due to blue buff I think), jinx, sivir, Ashe, even champions like Cassiopeia who used to basically need full mana to fight at all. It could be just due to me getting better at managing my mana, but idk. Feels like it’s hardly a thing I even think about anymore.

It's pretty rare that I oom unless I'm playing as someone with high costs, but I think it's largely because after the mana changes a while back, we've all gotten better at managing mana.

For my part, I take a lot of masteries that restore my mana, like presence of mind and manaflow band

I agree, back in the day mages used to need a mana regen mechanic in their passive to counter that. Nowadays with the access to Manaflow Band, Lost chapter and Prescence of Mind make it borderline Impossible to run out of mana after your first back.
