Why exactly were mana pots taken away?

AR URF··1 votes·260 views

Because when champs like Garen,Zed,Yasuo, DrMundo can just sit there and spam their abilities without suffering the consequences and everyone that uses manga especially the mana hungry champs like Anivia are at a huge disadvantage. Also item 1056 is now a unique passive so it's a pain to deal with such mana issues.

Edit: The champions I listed above are just examples of champions that don't use mana and are completely fine in lane. Please stay on topic.

What do you mean? It's a huge nerf for Garen.

Simple answer is that mana pots + HP pots allowed a champion to stay in the lane practically forever. riot didnt like that, so they removed mana pots and nerfed the shit out of HP pots. they wanted mana champs to be gated by mana, which is the entire purpose of giving a champ mana at all.

basically take Syndra Cassiopeia Ashe Annie . if mana pots were still in the game it would basically be as if they were manaless champs. ok not exactly manaless, but a ton of sustain to spam abilities.

It was a crutch for bad gameplay

Because some champions will get obnoxious poke if they are left with practically unlimited mana.

Oh and come on, all mana champs were buffed for compensation.

And just take meditation?

Lost chapter?
