They want to introduce Mages in Bot lane of course they would need to change thier Mana to be more Early game focused.

I have no idea why everyone is so up in arms

Please explain the whining? I'm at a loss

If I read things correctly, it was just mages getting slightly less mana at ~~level 1~~ higher levels?

Slightly indicates a small amount, by level 18 Zoe for example misses out on ~300 maximum mana on top of a poorer early game with dorans ring not to mention with mana item nerfs. SO yes, slightly.

It's slightly more mana at level 1 but they'll feel it before their first back more too from what I read. They get less mana per level iirc.

You should put this in memes and games though.

The reason everyone is up in arms is because they have effectively gutted mages. You end up with less mana earlygame (Level 3-4 seems to be the point you lose out), the item most midlaners rely on to fix their mana problems is getting nerfed (doubly so when you count in the indirect mana nerfs), meaning what little kill pressure you have in midlane against assassins is gone, usefulness of support mages over tank supports is gone, and we're all back to using unsealed spellbook for tp. So yeah, it's great news if you're an assassin, tank support or jungler (junglers will have a field day with all the oom mages around mid/bot), but for anyone that plays mages it's game over. Personally I'm feeling a little bit less upset that the others mage mains because my main already got nerfed to the ground, they're just kicking his corpse at this point lol!

I'll admit that I was definitely one that was whining a lot over the past few days. Though I still feel this change really wasn't necessary but I'm happy to see the AP items get their AP buffed a bit, even if most of the items buffed are only by 5 each. I'd take less mana to have higher AP values again so I don't mind the change as much anymore. I only really hate "because mages have dominated mid lane in pro play for seasons" as one of the reasons they gave for it though...

The guy who said that has to realize how monumentally dumb he comes across
