I was gonna post a thread hating on the 6.9 update...

First the mana potion, now this. Guess it's time to main Zed and Yasuo. Because not enough people already do right?

Funniest ive read all day lol

Strange that your having issues. I've found exactly the opposite in any of the cases. Of course your going to have to back early game to refill mana eventually, but as soon as you start into items like rod or tear you shouldn't be running out of mana unless your literally casting things right off CD. It's not hard to conserve, actually auto attack between spells to farm and actually use your spells smart early so you can spam all you want later game.

I don't know about you, but I never run out of mana as Velkoz and Annie, cassiopeia once I get tear, xerath is still doing pretty great for mana management, haven't tried out all the mages yet, anivia definitely having mana problems and zoning problems,

honestly, i have no problems with mana.

Welcome to champs in an age where mages can't count on having infinite mana.

Seriously, buy one of the many items that give you mana upon leveling and your fine.

Syndra is the only champion I had mana problem on but that was the same for me before today because I suck.

I'll be honest, I thought the changes were going to completely screw over AP champs , but it seems like the mana changes just became a nuisance, with the only difference being that you more or less have to build or (+ if you want to stay in lane for a while). My problem is exactly that though, you now pretty much NEED to build one or two of those to stay in lane for any length of time, and they're not exactly starting Items. That said, it's at least good to see that you don't have to build 3 's if you want high end AP items. I will say that in the future, they need to make more uses for and . Those two items only build into one thing, which is really rare for Items ( being the only other item I can think of that only builds into one item) and honestly is a bit of a waist when both of them are pretty good early game items.

If really mana heavy champs are running out of mana there's an issue

Thats becuase Riot is run by Darius and he is like "who needs mana? ha"

yeah basically you have to build archangel staff on any ap champion so you never run out of mana in the first place.

Have you tried a few mana regen runes? You don't need a full set, but a small splattering, maybe even a quint, can give you a decent bit of regen wuthout items.

I played a game with Vel'Koz and was fine with mana. Lost chapter into Morello does wonders and the Q refund really helps too.

At least we can enjoy the fact that its patch "69" which will never happen again. :D

It's fine, just play Malzahar and no one will be able to do anything because they'll be dead while you go take a shopping trip and break.
