Consider giving manaless champs secondary stats on items that have mana as part of their gold value

The Biscuit Delivery perk in the inspiration tree does something interesting. It normally buffs champs for 15 percent of their missing health and mana, but for manaless champs there is a 20 percent buff.

What do you guys think about extending this to items and giving different stats to make up for the bonus mana stats on manaless champs?

For example has 300 mana so it's partially wasted on .

Maybe add some bonus health regen instead on manaless champs

While we are at it, make it so champions without AP scalings like Riven and Draven get AD instead on AP items.

The problem with doing it for items is that if you give stats worth having you'll inevitably run into a situation where a manaless champion is too efficient with a mana item. Then a manaless champion will get nerfed assuming they'll always take said mana item, then the mana item gets changed to better fit the mana users and leaves the manaless champion in a worse state all in all.

You could always make an adaptive item that takes up a slot and converts mana on manaless champions into AD with a 1:1 gold efficiency ratio?
