The Changes. The Nerfs. The Mid Mage Mana Bullshit... The CHAOS EXPLAINED
I created this post to comment this PBE Changes if they reach the live: https://boards.pbe.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/client-new-features-feedback/Yj1lE6To-mana-changes-coming-to-pbe-today
This mana bullshit riot wants to create is really funny. The way i see it mid laner mages will have to choose:
A- ALL OR NOTHING TYPE OF PLAY B- BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY TYPE OF PLAY
I will elaborate:
A- You want to kill You want to buy a lot of damage You want to have a huge impact in the game deleting squishys from the game. You will burst and refill your manapool slowly.
By chosing A: You can have a harder lane experience... cause of mana and wave clear. You will risk failing your combos and be manaless.
Ppl dont like the option "A" cause: Its to dificult to acomplish and play with.
B- You want to farm. You want to buy less damage and increase your manapool and mana regen. You want to have a big presence in the game and never be manaless. You want to spam your abilities. You will poke more and will refill your manapool faster.
By chosing B: You have to increase yor DPS with mana and CDR... and not pure AP You need to spam, hit AND LAND your abilities "multiple times" to be efective. You will support your team with "sustained" magical damage and be less capable of burst.
Ppl dont like the option "B" cause: -MID MENTALITY- They want to go mid to be the star of the game. They want to shine. They want to shove lane. They want to gank top and bot. They want oportunities to get kills and get feed.... they play mid for that and they need the damage. They dont want to stay 20 minutes farming, they want kills to delet any champ with ther combos/ rotations. -END OF MID MENTALITY- They will became the support number 2 of the team... and be a support is the thing this community HATES WITH ALL THEIR SOULS.
In my opinion, the bigest problem is not the fact that mana will be nerfed with EVERYTHING related to it. The problem is the fuking AD! AD is out of control and if riot dont start with AD balance before this mana bullshit they will fuck themselves hard!
AND NO! THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE ADC!
The problem is when u combine MOBILITY + AD + CRIT + LIFESTEAL + AS + AUTO ATTACKS + MOBILITY
With this future changes the only mid laners that will play in mid successfully are: Tanky AP mid laners, AD mid laners, Energy mid laners and NOTHING AS A RESOURCE mid laners. All the others that don't fit in the criteria above will be trash to play with, and ppl will stop playing with them (if they want to win the game).
This is my point of view about this Mid Mage Mana Bullshit. If it's not a good explanation... at least i tried.
Ty for reading.
