I dont get how implementing a mana mechanic with champs makes the game good? you run out of mana and now you cant use skills/spells? what a dumb mechanic, if you play champs like zed/shen, aatrox, akali, they feel more fluit to play, but champs with mana suck, dumb mechanics, sloppy design.
Wolfram Oxford3 votesIts for balancing champions, mainly for early game. There are certain champions who would dominate if they had no mana pool to prevent them from spamming their spells...
(just a few)

TBF, anivia wouldn't even be that OP compared to most champions if she was manaless pre six. You'd still have to land your Q to do damage, it would be more annoying for sure, but just as easy to avoid.
Post six she'd be totally horrendous.
Puynsi3 votesActually its the other way around, manaless champion design is sloppy as hell, the only good thing that manaless champions have is the lack of an item that speeds up their energy regen.
S H A Y C 01 votesthat is only applicable to energy champs...garen and katarina are pure cooldown, and cdr is available.
AdanYEva1 votes'dominate'? are you serious, with tear and chalice of harmony i can spamm the shit out of any mana champ i want, but is getting tear and chalice to spamm those spells good game mechanics? why not balance them in other areas?

You sure about that? Because in my experience, if you just spam with these guys without caring about mana, youre gonna go dry pretty quick no matter what.
Shonjl1 votesYou sound like one of those Wildstar players that just want to spam their 3 second buttons til the end of time.
Its called being able to control yourself. There is a reason there are barely any button spammer champs in this game. Since it makes you actually focus and aim your abilities. You made no attempt to try to fix the so called problem so your entire thread is dumb and sloppy design.
Quepha1 votesAbout a year ago Riot said they were thinking of ways to make Mana champs feel more rewarding than manaless, since manaless just felt like they got the same things on their kit but just didn't have to 'b' for mana. Like more tear-esque items that scaled with your mana pool.
Like most good ideas that Riot has, this died before coming to fruition.
insaiyanbacca1 voteslol have fun with the singed/hec that can perma q with no drawbacks
Nogrim1 votesits pool management, if your overzealous you run out. if you spam you end up with no mana, if you manage it well you don't. mana is a core gameplay mechanic in mobas that has been around since the start.
its like removing ammo from an FPS
