Many of the older champions still have high mana costs (+ some of them considerable cooldowns) and go oom after 2 combos (unlike the manaless, spammy newer champions). This could help them. The "Magic stick" item also will be good in Lol against the manaless spamfest
Laraso1 votesThere are already so many different items that fix mana issues, I really don't think we need another one.
(And lets not forget about Blue Buff)
MLDzXnRRR1 votesYou can't buy items, if you are zoned by the jungler+laner and oomed. Clarity could be viable spell, if the cooldown wasn't too long
Laraso1 votesSo you're asking for yet another item? Personally I don't think draining your health is what you want when you're being zoned by your laner while also being camped by the jungler whilst simultaneously out of mana.
MLDzXnRRR1 votesYou can drain hp and waveclear from a distance
BluePolarizer1 votesIt has to be a starting item.
Soul Scepter: 350 gold +10 AP Unique Active: Gain 150 mana + 10% missing mana. Costs 10% maximum HP.
Builds into Mejai's Soulstealer with the same active.
The5lacker1 votesThe problem is any end-game item like that is going to immediately pale in comparison to other high Mana Regen items like Athene's. Mana in League is treated very differently from mana in Dota.
And I don't think sacrificing health for mana would be advisable against champions like Zed. Just buy an early Forbidden Idol or something.
