You know what feels super bad?
Being a mage and having to back before/during a fight and make your whole team wait for you because you don't have mana and can't sustain it in any ways.

Haven't really run into that problem.
What I really don't like from the mage update is that artiliary mages have no MR option that doesn't gimp their damage. Nearly constantly, Abyssal is out of range. Athene's worked wonders for this, giving the MR you would need to survive a hard lane against AP
that's why i always just take my artillery mages top or support. it's not worth fighting mid against assassin fever where the first person to land an attack wins.
i usually just buy tear even if i cant max it.
Yeah but even on mages I build a lot of mana on (Let's say
)
I just always have that moment where I get to 300/200 mana and I know I can't do anything because If I miss just one spell I will lose all my combo potential and I'll have to wait super long to get my mana back because mana regen isn't a thing anymore.
between awe and eternity you should be able to get your mana back. if not you always have morellonomicon assists/kills and masteries/runes for mana regen if your champion needs it that badly.
well considering the amount of cdr in the game you don't need cdr runes really but taking mana regen runes might help
