Meditation MANA REGENERATION 0.3% missing mana every 5 seconds per rank (max 1.5%) ⇒ 0.25% missing mana every 5 seconds per rank (max 1.25%)
I'm just curious. I don't understand the context of this. As far as I know, Gangplank is the only champion that consistently takes it over Merciless. But then again, I don't know about masteries outside of my own champion pool, which is pretty small.
Eedat3 votesProbably targeted at mage supports in bot lane. Pretty much every AP mid with mana runs Merciless and builds Morello first item which makes mana a non-issue
Ralanr2 votesProbably to help reduce the amount of spell spam from bot lane mages.
Big Lincoln2 votesIllaoi takes it
it was to reduce power for bot mages and IIRC to also compensate for damage nerfs in masteries so it didn't become blatantly better
Mysticman892 votesYeah supports will basically all take that. It shouldn't hurt most supports who build as supports much since theres plenty of mana regen on traditional sup items, but it might make those liandries rush 'supports' a bit unhappy.
Alaric The Sic2 votesThis is 100% support focused.
RookPusher2 votesBecause League's major problem right now is support being a viable carry-role.
ProfDrDeath2 votesBecause it was too strong at keeping the mana pools of champions up.
Using lolalytics, out of 60 champions (semi-)regularily playedmid lane, the following have a higher winrates with Meditation than with Merciless:
That's 29, or almost half. For a good 10 others, Meditation was about as good Merciless, with less than 0.25 difference.
OurLestrade1 votesI guess my awkward Taric page with mana regen glyphs and seals is gonna have to work overtime...
GigglesO1 votesThey think it actually hurts op champs like jayce not have enough mana to keep comboing.
