Problem with Spear of Sho'Jin on mana based champions.

Hello, I hope riot is reading this because this post was intended to reach the balance team for possible changes to Spear of Sho Jin.

So, the thing that keeps me and many other jax mains from wanting to build it is we run out of mana so fast with it. Countless times I have been forced to reset simply because I keep running out of mana after only one fight/skirmish. In patch 9.3 riot removed the essence flare passive and transferred it to Spear of Sho Jin, but I'm kind of confused on why they didn't transfer the 1% basic attack refund passive as well? It's kind of unfair to jax players that riven and renekton can use it without a problem since they're not mana-based. I also don't think it's unreasonable to ask this because the essence reaver prior to 9.3 had the essence flare passive, and the 1% mana refund and was 400 gold cheaper. Tf blade said it himself he refuses to build it because he runs out of mana too fast. I think lowering the 250 health from SOS to buffer the mana passive would be better overall.

jaxis a hyoer carry with idotic amounts of built in damage from his passive and ult passive........... are you really going to tell me that spear needs more on it because you dont know how to make proper trades or understand how to manage mana or hey maybe just maybe tweak your build a little more i mean ont some jax builds use trinity which gives you more mana n such??? your here asking for an easier jax and im sitting waiting for tanks to be relevant again lol

So basically what you’re saying is that you think you aren’t already OP enough that you also want to never run out of mana either?

item 3508 why dont you just add it to your build??? i mean your argument is like me saying well its not fair that vayne can kill a tank in 2 seconds but it happens anyways so i just ban her. what your saying is because you cant adjust to it it needs to be made easier? its called being able to adapt they split the item so that specifically non mana champs could use it without investing into the other random stats it provided. and also read the forums you have people complaining to nerf riven every other patch and renekton only has the first 20mins of a game before he just becomes a punching bag. as where jax isnt about the lane hes about the scaling oppressive 1v1 split push that no one can match or 1v1 realistically. so please just learn how to lane better or alter builds before you start crying about mana like damn lo buy item 2033 item 3025 item 3110 item 3042 and the last thing i have to say is that you are not even reliant on yours skills to kill in lane jax is litteraly a jump on you beat you to death with autos kind of champ the cdr you get is just a convenience at this point.
