since when adc should be gated by mana?

when i started this game, it was said that mages use spell to play the game and those spells cost more mana than the others

remember when every mages had 120 mana on their spells? and 300 mana on ult?

riot remembered their roots of design, now that they powercreeped every mage through mana costs they're reverse powercreeping mana items

that's it

Why should only one class be gated by a resource in addition to cool downs?

cool downs?

it's hardly a thing anymore too i hope that after looking at mana costs they look at CDR and gut it not only in the mage department but everywhere

Cooldowns are hardly gated anymore every mage has at least one low cd spell that reaches 1 or 2 seconds cd with cdr, it became absolutly ridiculous

Now in this thread a lot of people are going to bring up ADC to the talk but just because ADC are cancerous and broken doesn't excuse the fact that the mage class has hardly weaknesses now and it's a FACT because they dominate the mid lane since a year now in competitive and riot tries to buff zed a billion of time but it doesn't change anything in competitive, just makes him more aids in solo queue

In pro play they also get every blue buff after the first.

In yoloque everything is being played though, and things are doing well all around....

they dominate the mid lane since a year now

Tanks in top
Tanks in JG
Mages in Mid
ADCs (YEARS)
Enchanters

Pro play doesnt change like at all.

and those adcs are all garbage

so yea go and nerf their mana management

except jhin but that's because of guinsoo jhin has a bug (which made guinsoo disabled on jhin in pro)

Their changes are coming in 8.10/8.11; this mana stuff is in preparation for those changes among others.

Their changes should of came first or at the same time, now mages will have a period where they will be extremely weak for no reason

No argument there; it is a little out-of-wack.

Because they nerf each class according to their strenghts. If they wanna hit mages they hit their mana and ap, if they want to nerf ad's, they will look into crit and attack speed item, if they want to nerf assassins they will look into duskblade or gunblade or their kits, they won't just randomly nerf mages' auto attacks or adc's mana pools

But wasnt the whole point of this making mana a bit more valuable? Making you think before you spam spells?
