@Riot pick your brain on some changes.

Hello, I saw the mana pots being deleted and health pots getting a cost increase. Also Doran's shield got a cost increase.

Here are the problems I see with that. I would like to know if you think like me, or maybe you have come up with a solution.

Lane bullies like Pantheon that are very mana dependent will no longer be able to bully. Pantheon is so mana dependent it's scary, and not being able to bully will make him useless.

Also with the health pot cost increase melee champions in a ranged lane matchup will have an even bigger disadvantage than they have now. I am sure that when all the changes come to the rift, many many people will spam Marksmen top, mid because bot will be 1st picked most of the time. That leaves champions that go top/mid even worse off. It's so hard to lane as a melee against ranged champions.. And with the hp pot cost increase, Dorans shield being weak and even getting a cost increase? I don't see a way out.

I know that those changes are still being tested, and some things will change, nevertheless I am addressing this now.

They stated that they'll adjust the base mana pools and mana regen for champions like Pantheon so that they won't be shafted by the removal of mana pots.

They will buff the mana pools/regen for those who suffer like Pantheon, also new choices of first item and new Mastery, i think they are fine. Beside, what is the last time you see someone buy Mana potion after 3 min in a serious game ?
