For those who say they run out of mana too fast in the laning phase
Meditation mastery and a extras dorans is enough for you to cs with outgoing oom unless you are not being mana efficient and even then you probabbly wont go oom.

Running the meditation mastery means that you'll most likely end up in situations in which your target makes it back to base with disgustingly minimal health. I avoid it unless I'm playing a mana hungry support.
As for Doran's Ring. Most AP champions have a difficult time last hitting, especially if they're being poked down or camped by the enemy jungle.
The buff to mana regen for certain champions was not, in my humble opinion, enough compensation for the removal of mana pots and clarity. If only their was a flask that restored mana that didn't cost all of a champion's starting gold. Something that could be added onto
build path. It could hold 2 charges, restore 40 mana over 12 seconds, and cost 100 gold.
You don't even need the mediation mastery in most cases.
Since the buffs the mana/5 on Doran's Ring to scale with your base mana, I've not been having any real mana issues once I have 2 of them.
