@Vesh: Is there anything coming to PBE concerning mana cost updates for mages?

I'd love to know if there's been any testing on reducing some brutal mana costs (i.e. Lux's E, Anivia's costs, etc.) that just haven't gotten to PBE yet. I'm sure I'm just going all broken record here, but ever since the S5 mana regen nerfs, those mages basically got the short end of the stick.

It's so bad that when I try to pick Lux in Team Builder in ANY position, I'm basically cancelling after 5 minutes of no activity. No lobby invites at all.

Seals of Mana regen. Try them out, see what it does for you.

+11 mana regen per 5 seconds at level 18 isn't enough. Neither is 3.7 per 5 at level 1.

Not effective compared to armor or AP/level.

The scaling won't ever be worth it, your mana problems are at the begining of the game, not the end.

3.7 per 5 at level 1 is starting the game with a second Doran's ring (without the passive). It's more mana regen than item 3114 would be at level 1 for many champions. Yes, it comes at the great cost of armor, but armor and AP won't help you if you are never in a position to cast spells when you need to.

Even late-game with either double Morello or Morello/Grail, I suffer from burnouts in fights because spamming is required.
