Having mages manage mana is a step in the right direction IF other classes get toned down too

AquariusGine··8 votes·1,955 views

If Riot are gonna make mages manage their resource, they should also tone everyone else down. Haven't we been asking for damage to be lowered and snowballing reduced? In fact, there should just be nerfs across the board. Lower damage and bring back strategy. Mana management separates good players from bad ones.

So does health management, and yet fleet footwork, life steal, and Warmog's exist.

According to champion.gg there are 44 mid champions. 4 of them are AD 6 of them are AP assassins,4 of whom have similar playstyle to mages 34 of them are mages Anything different than mages is never picked in competitive pick or in master and challenger. That's where the game is balanced from. It is not balanced around your silver 4 solo q

Meanwhile, ADCs are mandatory.

fucking troll.

The real answer is to buff viegar to get 5 stacks on champion hit and 10 on minion kill to really round out this stale meta. and reduce his mana costs by 50%

Also wouldn't this change to mana make snowballing even easier? Now mages wouldn't have the mana to wave clear and save turrets from heavy pushing, or Baron minions for sure...Basically get Baron and now your mage will go OOM just to clear the waves and then be 100% useless in team fights. Unless you opt into 2 mana stacking items, but the game is much harder to try to stall out for those items to stack, and this change is going to make games potentially quicker.
