Mana Pots and Stealth Wards Removed?!

NESMO··2 votes·1,077 views

Hi All,

I am posting what every league of legends player is currently thinking.

Why have two key items been removed?

  • Mana pots One of the most useful potions to any AP player has been removed from the game. This is causing extreme balance issues. I cannot play a AP champion that uses mana against someone like Zed ect, there is no way I am able to sustain against someone like that. Before we get the 10% that say "Build mana regen" we could, but then the implications on damage and other items that are a must in early game are no longer available to us which gives the person versing us a major advantage. Its either heaps of mana and 0 dmg or Medium dmg and 0 mana to use it.....

  • Stealth Wards Seriously? Stealth wards?! How did this one even come to mind to developers. Stealth wards are a key item in the game for map awareness. Used to plan attacks against enemies, defend base and keep jungle awareness.

Sorry for having a rant, but these changes have made this game so much worse, I dont want to have to go looking for a LoL substitute..

Cheers, NeSmo

They answered both those questions in the patch notes and in the pre-season video, so.

who cares what they said to justify their reasons. I'm forced to build ss now on all my champs just cuz the lack of fucking vision in soloq (which Is my main mode right now as I have no team). relying on soloq to use trinkets that never were used prior to this just is stupid to me most of the vision that was out came from ss and stealth wards. Ppl in my elo (silver/gold) never used those trinkets anyway I hardly saw them plunk one down.

I abused the fuck out of those trinkets. I will miss them dearly. I warded more than like 90% of ADCs. It was pro as fuck. rip vision. at least pinks are only 75g now.

I'm really upset about the removal of stealth wards but honestly, the mana pots aren't such a huge deal in my opinion. I've never had to buy mana pots when playing ap champions because I've learned to control my mana usage and used my spells wisely. If I ever run low on mana, I can just regen it all back with the passive from item 1056 and from last hitting minions

I'm with you all the way... for both. The people who don't care about the removal of mana pots are the people who never bought them, me on the other hand love the utility it gives for a certain mid champ I love to play who doesnt need health pots and my healer mana hungry supports
