Let's STOP making no resource champs.

It used to be no resource champs had weaknesses to cover the advantage of no resource, when now it seems like the OPPOSITE.

No resource champs are pretty much BETTER than 90% of the rest of the pool, etc champs all have VERY LITTLE weakness to cover their upside of no resource. A lack of mana is such a huge advantage in lane and allows you to spam your abilities FOREVER. But then they decide that isnt enough and give huge mobility for some of them too.

You clearly cant handle the balance of no resource, so please top using it.

Yasuo I do feel should have some form of resource considering his nigh infinite free dashes.

Kled is fairly mediocre, to be honest, and excels more as a team fighter than a solo experience. His abilities have decent CDs, and in short he is... alright. Fun, but not particularly the best in terms of power. At least in my experience with him.

Vlad uses health.

Riven is fairly simple to deal with if you have a minimal amount of kiting ability.

Riven What is broken can be reforged.

Ryze Yeah, fine. Whatever. While you're busy doing that, get out of my way so I can get back to doing something productive like. Oh. I don't know. Saving the world and every sorry excuse of life on it?

I'm upvoting you because this is how a conversation with those two would go.

Ryze has no time for angst.

Not all of them are, but you cannot deny that they have an inherit advantage over everyone else with their lack of mana.

Champions like Morde are much weaker because their health IS their resource. Health as a resource is hard with no real healing in your kit and spell vamp is gone.

I don't feel Vlad's health is a resource. Lets be honest, when he's "low" his Q heals for over a thousand.

I wasn't aware that Morde used hp as a resource, I only knew of Mundo/Aatrox/Vlad

There are about 15 champions without mana or energy. And some of them still have resources they rely on. Fury, Rage, and Courage just to name a few.

There are very few champions that have no resource other than health. Garen, Kat, Riven, Zac , Yasuo, Vladimir and maybe Morde.

There are more than 130 champions in game at present.

That means less than 12% of all champions have neither mana nor energy and less than 5% who have no secondary resource at all.

So we can safely estimate that 8 or 9 champions out of every 10 champions in game overall have neither mana nor energy.

Given the trend of recent releases. The amount of champions that have neither mana nor energy is an estimated 1 out of every 5.

You stating that no resource champions is better than 90% of the rest of the pool is like saying, "no resource champions are better than the 110+ champions that are available for purchase and play".

Ability spam? There's a thing called cooldown and no matter how much CDR you build, you will always have cooldown. If a Riven or a Kat or a Yas decides to spam their entire combo then you can bet I'm going to jump on them before they've a chance to say "No, I don't like anal".

Mana is not that crippling. It's called resource management. You use what you need to get what you need. If you're spending all of laning and early game wasting mana on creeps then you deserve whatever the enemy has to dish out. But if you can manage your mana wisely then come mid to late game, it won't be as much of a handicap.
