Removal of Mana pots

Getting rid of mana pots, health pots increase in price I would get it if it was just the health pot increase, but mana pots are a basic part of the game and integral to a lot of gameplay. Especially for mana based champions--- it's one of the most basic items. What.... This feels like a bad April Fool's joke.

For me, as most of the champions I play are mage and mana based champions, the mana regen isn't enough to compensate for not using mana pots- some champs are reliant on mana pots, sometimes you need that extra boost when you don't have gold for items. I can't even enjoy aram like this. Personally, I think I may take a break from league norm dominion and aram until maybe next patch-- hide and seek is enough for me like this.... I don't feel I can play a real game in this setup.

Please bring back the mana pots.

I would like to hear other people's thoughts on this.

Any champion that I usually used a shit ton of mana before was because I used my skills without actually thinking if it was worth it. Mana pots would make this kind of playstyle more safe, meaning no one gave a shit about mana. Without the pots, players have to actually think if they want to use that skill at that moment, and if it would be worth it. It adds a lot more to the game by removing the potions than it does to keep them.

I like it, personally. I've done a few games since the pre-season and only once have I felt a bit short on mana, but I survived despite it and it shouldn't be impossible to run out of mana if you're spamming, which I was. Largely I've been fine though, even with mana-intensive champions like Syndra (thank goodness she got compensation). I feel bad for any mage that didn't get compensated though.

Lulu Two E's and a Q and shes OOM pre lvl 8. Used to buy 5 mana pots in the early game (2 on my first b and 3 on the second). Now its oh darn, used me e twice and q once, got to go back for mana cause taking CS is BAD BANANA's Soraka . Weak Sauce and a half for those mana intensive supports. Taking out Mana pots has ruined a lot of the champs I enjoyed to play. Heimerdinger Lulu Lux But what am I saying, like riot gives a sh!t about it's players. These changes feel more like a dumb down version of the game because too many people couldn't do math. Mastery pages are so cookie cutter now. But back to the point, Bring back mana pots, IT WAS A DUMB DECISION TO TAKE THEM OUT.
