Energy pains

I think there should be an elixir or something that gives you bonus energy regen. There is bonus mana regen and sometimes your jg wont give zed a blue..."because he dont use mana" Even if they dont use mana. Zed is particularly bad on energy due to his high skill costs. I believe that there should be and elixir or something that you can use to buff the energy regen(in game). I know runes can buff energy regen but they are sooo expensive. You can get mana regen . You can get health regen but not a single energy regen item.. It really puts a strain on people like . You have the low cds but cant use your abilities if you dont have energy.. Unless your fed you cant just use each of your abilities on time and melt your enemies. Riot please take this into consideration and help us zed and lee and kennen players.

If i would use my skills on ahri/kayle/orianna as often as you do with zed, then double blue buff would be not enough for me.

what i was saying is you can only do the w e q combo and your out of energy for at least 5 sec then you can only use q or w and you are out again because his energy cost on his abilities are high.

The thing about Energy is that it's built with 3 constant factors.

Balanced around items not affecting Energy/Regen
Small pool, high regen; great for skirmishing, harder in long team fights, but...
Has some means of regaining energy in longer fights.

That's the point of the design.

There's 1 major issue with Energy Regeneration items in any form:

Only 5 champions use energy.

The most restrictive items in the game currently are item 3074 item 3077 item 3085 , being limited to ~50% of the roster due to melee/range constraints in a portion of the item's bonuses. Outside of that less than 20 champions are truly manaless, only 5 champions completely lack AP ratios, and any champion can actually run with Smite.

Having an item only 5 champions can utilize is really to niche for a game with one of it's heavy draws being the capacity to actually use any item on any character.

Second major problem with this:

The current power of energy champions.

Zed and LeeSin don't exactly need any help, and an enrgy item strong enough to merit purchasing is exactly that.

Final issue - adding energy itemization kind of runs at odds with the entire purpose of creating alternate-resource champions in the first place.

If energy is to function as mana - it might as well actually be mana.

I do like how you put this. I think you are right and i understand what you mean but with zed mostly he eats up energy mabey reducing the energy cost of his abilities.. Do you think that might be a better solution? Not by a whole lot but mabey 5 or 10.
