It's kinda weird in a way, even if it's an ability still makes no sense lol

Because it's game mechanics translated into something ''physical''. Besides, tears that damage must be magical, that magic must get it's power from a source. Source is mana. Topic closed.

I mean... Its a relatively strong AoE. The only problem with it i feel is that its the same AoE as sunfire cape, and with a little mana regen can be kept up forever.

Well mana is blue and tears are also blue, so of course it will cost mana to cry.

Use logic [sg-ahri-2]

When I read the title, I thought I was in memes and games and was expecting a punchline. Then I read the content and remembered where I was.

Haven't you ever cried yourself out of tears?

His tears are magic infused to do damage.

When was the last time you were in a fight and someone used their tears to fuck your shit up? Never? probably cause they didn't infuse magic into their tears lmao

My main question honestly is why are his mana costs so high when he's already really bad as a champ.

That's a good question. His Q cost is higher than some ults in the game.

It's blue, and mana is blue.

Because its a video game so real world logic isnt always going to apply. Why does it cost Gragas mana to drink from his cask? Why does it cost mana for Darius to swing his axe in a circle but doesnt cost mana for Garen to spin his sword in a circle? etc, etc

Fair point, but I wish they could make his W a passive instead. Because it doesn't really deal damage, unless you have lots of AP but even then you need to be close to the enemy to apply the damage which is hard considering how most champions have tons of mobility now.

And in terms of balancing this passive the scalings and values can always be changed to make this a balanced passive. The reason why I wish to see this as a passive is because Amumu is a character who is always sad, so making him passively cry would make sense in a way, but that's just my idea it might be a bad one.
