PBE mage update

>''Mana Regeneration style mages is an attrition battle. It's just one of Health Regeneration for the defending team rather than one of being accurate with your spells for the aggressor.

>I'd argue that standing there being hit by infinite spells getting whittled down slowly has never really been a siege environment that's been particularly enjoyable.''

If you don't want people to spam abilities, then why the hell would you stamp CDR on every damn ap items (because lets be honest, every single core AP item for ANY mage just got nerfed by ~20 ap each)

I just feel like people will stop playing high-mana cost champions such as Ziggs altogether because of crap like that.

** Tear of the Goddess

Mana Regeneration: 25% --> 0%
Additional Passive - Awe: Refunds 25% of Mana spent**

Oh wait, now that makes sense, you guys want to make mages as weak as possible early game.

It's almost mandatory to buy RoA or Zhonya's as your first item nowadays, because ad mid laners dominate the lane. And now you're trying to shove this crap, that will probably make mages even more useless early game, down our throats?

** Catalyst the Protector of Aeons

Valor's Reward passive removed
New Passive - Eternity: 15% of damage taken from champion is gained as Mana. 15% of Mana spent is gained as Health.
(Healing limited to 25 per spell cast or 25 per second for toggled spells.)*

** OH I SEE NOW, we're actually fucking supposed to get wrecked by them, so that we get mana, and use the mana to heal ourselves, right? Yet they said that they hated the concept of mages spamming abilities..

You guys just keep contradicting yourselves.. AP casters will now get ~60-70 less AP after building 3 items then before, of course it costs less gold, but that doesn't add slots to your inventory now does it? And they basically force you to buy a tear, completly removing the ''discount'' on the ap items.

I hope that i'm wrong and that RIOT actually knows that they're doing. Even though they've proven me right on so many other occasions.

By the way i've taken this from the guy who posted this PBE patch earlier, you can go check it yourself.
