Predicting Tank Supports going Coin because their mana regen is crippled with new Runes.

Prettymuch that. There is no good replacement for the current Meditation 1.25% missing mana/5

Replacement Options:

Manaflow Band; Every minute get a free ability and 8% of your missing mana. (Good for Morello users, not tanks) -Minute=12x5, so....12x1.25= 15.% missing -You may just need to use that one cheap ability when that minute point happens, sucks to be you. -Requires activation with ability. So either you sometimes wait longer than a minute, or you burn an ability that might be on cooldown subsequently when you need it. -Forced into Sorcery (be it as a secondary)

Biscuit Delivery; Every 3 minutes you get a biscuit that restores 15% missing health and mana and increases mana by 40 each time.

  • 3 minutes, so....Meditation would have given 45% missing. Slowly over time, so likely you are kinda low or on midlevels of mana throughout. -40 mana is nice, but does not compare. -Forced into Inspiration (be it as a secondary)

Kleptomancy: Gain a sheen-like effect that gives consumables (including mana potions) -Takes a capstone -Unreliable -Requires you to spellweave AS A TANK -Forced into Inspiration as a Main page

Personally I only had mana issues on taric a few patches ago. Recently I've been doing fine on mana as tank supports.

And shouldn't you weave spells and autos on every class anyways?

Yes, ideally. But in this case it´s expecting an aa reliant spellthief capstone to pay off on a melee character. You simply won´t be allowed to proc it by virtue of being poked down by at least 1 ranged champion when you try.

I am actually pretty unhappy with this patch removing the old runes. Like you, I used mana regen runes heavily, and now when I play support, I run out of mana way too fast. Plus, I think old runes were one of the best, and interesting strategies that made this game great. They should of just made all runes free, which gives people more options. to concentrate on certain aspects of the game Probably too late for them to revert, but yeah, +1 to being unhappy about this.
