Let Me give you a Bug

is glitched right now, when he has zero mana, he's still able to activate despair, though it adds something EXTREMELY interesting to him, and I'm suggesting a fix for it, that actually helps him a lot.

Why not make his despair take % Mana instead? He already has an abysmal pool, and despair just drains it away, but right now, he feels super well balanced because he can't cast other spells because he has no mana. Please riot, test this out on the PBE client, changing from flat mana to % current Mana, or max even!

That doesn't make much sense. You just said his mana pool was awful, and the skill already drains it so quickly that he feels like he has none. So why would you want to increase the amount of mana it drains?

At base stats, it's less than 3% mana per second at level 1. At level 18 with no mana boosts, it's less than 1%. Making it cost a percentage of max mana would drain him dry a lot more quickly. A percentage of current mana would still be problematic, because it would drain him quickly at full mana, which would then put you in a similar position of not having enough mana for other skills.

true... But I still feel like it'd be interesting to see on the pbe

you should work for the riot balance team... take something that is working fine and fuck it up and mess with it Kassadin Veigar

For one, it was just an idea I had. For two, the veigar nerfs ARE getting a LOT of compensation right now, even with him getting a new type of cc associated with it. Kassadin didnt' need it, but it's still a spammable, low mana cost blink, which means it's good. The only reason why people are complaining is because it used to be giant range, and now it's actually average.
