So I know that when you have blue buff as an energy dependent champion you have increased energy regeneration. My question is, other than the runes, what else effects energy for those champs. I remember there used to be a mastery, though I don't see it anymore, and I also know that there was an item but I don't know if it still exists. A little input here would be nice. I am not overly familiar with energy champs, other than I know that Mana stuff doesn't impact energy.
masterdragon4811 votesThe idea is energy champions are suppose to have the advantage in lane because they don't have to manage mana. As a tradeoff, however, they have no way to increase their pool of energy or how fast it regenerates, outside of using their kit in the "correct" way, which does restore energy. But apart from the mechanics within their kit, energy remains unaffected.
Blue buff is the one exception to this rule, because blue buff means the mid laners start to spam skills. The increased energy regeneration is probably there to allow the energy users to retain their edge in the lane, since without the extra regen, they would fall behind the opponents that they should really be out-regenerating.
Of course, this logic fails to include champions that use their health for spells, so those vlads and mordes don't really get any compensation for the costs on their skills. Unfortunate for those champions, but it does open up lots of other options.
I don't remember a mastery, rune, or item affecting energy, and I have been playing the game since season 2. That being said, my memory may be failing me or I just wasn't paying attention, but regardless, there are no such things now, and this is to highlight the fact that the advantage energy champions have early cannot continue to be exploited as the game goes on (CDR is less effective on them than on a mana champion).

The one thing I can find is the runes on the League website, 2 Quints, 2 Glyphs and 2 Seals. I don't remember seeing the mastery after season 2, it may have been in season 3 but I don't recall when they changed it.
masterdragon4811 votesRegardless, its gone for a reason and not coming back.

wasn't complaining, was just asking if there was other things. Just trying to be sure I know what I have available when I shen, akali, kennen, etc...
