A mage support's opinion of patch 8.9

MANA REGEN 6 per 5 seconds ⇒ 8 per 5 seconds BASE MANA 334 ⇒ 418 MANA GROWTH 50 ⇒ 25 Support thanks you. More early game mana and mana regeneration means she can do more for her lane partner in the early game when it matters the most. At the same time, the nerf to late game mana doesn't seem to be even noticeable. She already has plenty of mana yielding items by that phase of the game.

You've also buffed some of her itemization. Lost Chapter, Luden's, Twin Shadows, Rylai's.

Unsealed Spellbook too! Teleport at 6 minutes without even taking Teleport in a summoner spell slot actually sounds good enough to compete with Electrocute and Aery. Will have to experiment to see which is best now.

Indeed it does. But LS on its own is fking stupid. The ap increase is stupid since no one buys this shit for ap. They buy it because its the only item that gives mana. And since they buffed both the mana regen and and the ap they also increased the cost by a shittons. Now if you fall behind G-fking-G for you. Hell the only reason it is even still bought is because it builds to ludens. The only item that has yet to be nerfed to oblivion (and is useful).
