Make the math, take your mage mana regen, see the compensation buff and compare it to what doran ring or spellthief gave. It is the same (we talking 0,1 margin) or even better than if you were support.

You have almost +100 mana early in now a meta where you have FAR FAR more mana item. So what you 'lost', you already gained it when the new mana item came.

I main mid. I know you guys are full of shit.

It was the same BS when you whined about Seraph being gutted when it was just archangel being normalised.

Mage main are worse than assassin mid, who would have though.

That +100 mana is only a buff until Lv4 or 5 when you now have less and less mana then you would of. Ahri for instance has 352 less Mana at 18 then she normally would of.

Riot made a mistake understating the power mages will get in the early game, which I think where tends to be the biggest frustration with mana management. After that players usually solve this issue with items.

Mana per level was gutted by a lot (25-30 on average) so that +100 mana is evened out by level 4-5, and then after that we have less mana than we did before. Overall mages lost 300+ mana by level 18, which losing all that amount of mana is going to force Archangel staff on a lot more mages who normally was fine with only Luden's. On top of the fact that Archangels was already nerfed this patch to be a worse rush item and now tear is getting nerfed a small amount as well.

Yes some things are a buff though. The Doran's ring is a buff and is a nice change but does not compensate for everything else. Mages gained 0.4 mana regen but that is compensation of the 50% base mana regen Doran's lost. The 4 mana per minion killed is being moved to 5 mana per 5 seconds (which is better I'll admit), and the 5 extra damage to minions is nice to.

Some things were fair trade offs, but that mana per level gutting is just going to harm mages far to much...and further increase the BS that is Mana champions vs non-mana champions.

I mean, mages are being nerfed, is just that I don't see any problem there.
