Mage Bottom Lane Keystone

Subject 5··1 votes·889 views

item 3175 Keystone: Gain 30 mana back for every minion slain near an ally. For every 70 minions killed, gain an additional 10% increase in AP.

This will enable AP's to farm using abilities and take on the carry role instead of using an ADC. The 10% increase is to match the late game power of an ADC who can crit for a couple thousand damage per second. Thoughts?

Why?

You'll never run out of mana and at 20 minutes you'll have 30% increased AP. If your veigar youll easily have 2K AP by 20 minutes and one shot anyone with just R.

item 1056 It's this before it was nerfed, but a buffed version of it considering it's an entire keystone. So something like this has existed for years and years.

You forgot item 3089, and I wouldn’t use item 1056 as an icon of good balance. Remember when it granted a TON of mana regain but that was too strong? So they nerfed the mana regain and put it on minion kill, then that was too strong, so they nerfed that, but then it was still stackable, and that was too strong So they got rid of the stacking it gave, yet mana sustain was too good So they removed the mana given back on minion kill.

It's too powerful - would never be considered. You could cut the AP value in half and it would still be among the most powerful of the mage keystones.

It also completely breaks how mana regeneration works - Botlane suddenly doesn't run out of mana anymore.
