Items with mana on manaless champs?

Kelg··1 votes·842 views

What if items with Mana got their Mana converted into a gold equivalent amount of Health on manaless champs? Obviously it wouldn't work for items like item 3070 but it would be nice for items like item 3078 item 3800 item 3001 item 3100 on manaless champs like Mordekaiser. I just want some better options as an AP bruiser, since that subclass doesn't get much love.

Could adjust champs if they become too strong. It would just be nice to have more options.

If they have to adjust champions over it, then you're enforcing situations where manaless champions have to build a mana based build to be balanced. That's counter intuitive and wrong on so many levels.

I don't see them building these items tbh. It's not like you're going to build glory/frozen heart on kat or something.

If you don't see them building these items then why bother converting mana to health at all?

Like I said in OP, for champs like Mordekaiser .

And like I said, it doesn't make sense to force a manaless champion into mana item builds because a particular item combination ends up being too strong and gets the champion nerfed.

You're arguing it would diversify builds. I'm arguing that it could restrict builds after the inevitable nerfs come.

he's right you know. if they did this, it would make lich bane a priority on kat and you'd probably see kats getting it first item, if not at least second. then you nerf kat because of the item, and you have a shitty situation where there were lots of kats who don't even like to auto.

This is a hard no. We don't need shit like Tank Yasuo, Tank Akali, Tank Zed, Tank Katarina, and god knows who else because they decide to build items with mana.

why not make it attack speed?

Because health makes more sense. Every champ can use more health, not every champ can utilize attack speed.

uh... but attack speed caps. health on the other hand... could you imagine mordekaiser blue?

I said in the OP that item 3070 wouldn't work. You can already build full health + damage morde (item 3152 item 3116 item 3151item 3165 ) and it's not op or anything. You can actually build this on kat and friends too so it's not like my suggestion would break the game.

item 3001 item 3010 item 3027 - would break early game.

item 3508 - now grants hp so fighters like garen start picking it up and zed for defense

item 3110 item 3025 item 3802 item 3024 item 3057 - more trade potential for fighters and spell casters allowing them to sustain in lane.

item 3285item 3027 - now becomes tank katarina.

item 3078 - becomes super tanky plus tons of damage

item 3800 - tankyyyyy

item 3050 - zac and kennen support start showing up.

item 3042 - pyke. shen. zed. shyvanna.

trust me. attack speed would at least be a little balanced.

Turn the mana into crit chance

you can still get lich on morde if you really want... tbh the 250 mana on it isn't even that big of a deal in comparison to what people actually use it for. I see triforce the same way, cept for cases like EZs in which you also build mana for manamune and seraph's. like if you're at the point where you might feel like it would be a good idea to get and use these items on a manaless champ, you probably could tbqh... the mana pool in LoL has always been super crazy large and forgiving to begin with, and isn't something people necessarily HAVE to itemize into like dota. in the end the flat AP among other benefits are what really brings the items their viability.
