Tear of the Goddess's passive

Sou1 G·Jul 1, 2016·1 votes·240 views

I remember tear has a stacking passive that it grants +1 mana per 8 seconds before and I've checked it was since patch 4.3. However this passive disappears now without any mention by patch notes. I have been reading through all the patch notes starting from 6.1 and I found out that the passive still existed in patch 6.4 as Manamune had been buffed to have this passive. So the biggest possibility to have this passive removed would be in patch 6.9, the Mage Update, when Riot added a mana refund passive. But it still didn't mention a word about removing the stacking passive. So where did the passive go?? Rito pls?????

Pretty sure it was removed in the mage update.

Yeah I think so but they just didn't mention it.

From patch 6.9:

Tear of the Goddess

Refunds a portion of mana spent.

Tear of the Goddess creates an odd conflict: it’s the mage item which gives the most raw mana (attractive to champions with high mana costs), but it has to be stacked up by constantly casting spells (something champions with high mana costs can’t afford to do). As such, it tends to be picked up by champions who can spam spells, making them effectively manaless as it stacks.We’re changing Tear’s pure regen to a mana refund, opening it up to high-mana cost champions, not just a select few spammers.
