GP Q Nerf -- horrible with removal of potions.

So, a while ago you guys at Riot nerfed GP's Q, made it cost more mana overall, and made it so that it doesn't refund mana on a kill. That was tolerable before preseason, since we had flask and mana pots to stay in lane for more than two minutes (Enough time to buy Sheen and maybe boots)... but now GP is just about useless pre-Sheen. You only have enough mana to last-hit with Q for about two minutes in lane (And if you have to use oranges to sustain or break out of CC? You're goinna run out of mana before you even hit 300 gold.), and then you run out, and have no way to recover it.

In a 28 minute game, I didn't even have my first ult upgrade. : / I had ~400 Serpents.

I know you don't like GP, and I know you don't want to buff him, but please, this is just ridiculous that I can't even play a champ in lane because his sustain is so horribly bad. Just revert the nerf on his Q's sustain, and he'd be fine.
