Why do mages got their mana regen nerfed, but AD casters don't even care about mana ?

AD casters, aka Jayce Zed Talon Lucian MissFortune none of them actually have mana issues, none of them build item 3070 and Lucian goes item 3508 and doesn't have to worry about mana anymore (isn't it the reason Morello got reworked ?)

You could remove their mana pool, you wouldn't feel a difference. I'd really like to understand the reason behind it, of why mages got theirs nerfed to oblivion, but AD casters remain non-mana reliant

Have you played or seen anyone playing them? They have a lot of mana issues and often end up backing just because theyre low on mana.

And their mana costs are less of an issue because they have fewer options to buy into mana. Its not like lucians is gunna go AA into RoA where as mages can.

Uh I've laned numerous times against a Talon and haven't ever seen one going oom while poking W to wave clear, Jayce has built-in mana regen, Zed mana ? xd, MissFortune seems to not have mana at all, and as I said Lucian feels like he has no ressources once he gets this item

couldnt you literally do the same? buy a item 3070 a item 3010 or item 3802 and not worry about mana anymore?

edit.: ok youre saying they dont have to build tear. but whats the difference between building item 3508 and not worry about mana anymore and building item 3003 and not worry about mana anymore?

it's mana pool not mana regen item 3030 item 3285 item 3003 doesn't give any mana sustain,you can cast a few more speels and you runn OOM anyway

AP items should keep item 3802 mana sustain and giving it on kills like old morello on top of level ups,then they could be compared

Youre forgetting Quinn, the prime ADC caster

The reason Morellonomicon got reworked was not because it was "get this and never run OOM", but "You can only get this to not run OOM as a mage unless you're one of four that can actually use Tear".

You're confusing the Morello rework with the changes to reduce mages' mana pools in late-game, which is far more recent.

Corki goes oom using one Q then is usually forced to back - especially when he also doesn't deal any damage.
