@Riot: Shouldn't you update the costs on some older mages since mana regen was nerfed?

With the nerfs to mana-regen (Athenes,Blue duration) not too long ago isn't it time to finally adjust the mana costs of some of the older champs to bring them in line with the newer ones? * /r/leagueoflegends

I hate having to pay 130 mana every 6 seconds to use Lucent Singularity as Lux. You don't have the luxury of NOT spamming it late-game, and even with double Morello you end up with burnouts.

Or say Anivia; even if you get Archangel's and Grail, you are going to mana-burn yourself, especially in early game when your low regen basically screws you over.

I could provide other examples, but you get the idea: adjust mana costs so the level 5-9 time period isn't so brutal for mages.

I don't know why people even complain about the new Mana regen. Just get Morello and that's it. Even in afew mage specs like Anivia or Kassadin where yu get Archangel's you still will not run out of mana. Just don't spam your abilities a shitload. Only use your ability if you know it'll hit. Its lke sniping. You don't just aim and shoot and expect to get a kill. You have to breath, you have to predict your opponents moves. You have to make sure it lands, then you throw it. You'd be surprised how effective this technique is. It saves you mana and gets you more skill shots to hit effectively.

What about your lane opponent who has a similar strength ability, but has no similar limitations: What then?

This. Katarina and Energy users are running rampant right now because mana shortages are f#cking over our typical mages. Zed can spam his Q all day and never worry about a burnout while if Syndra makes ONE mistake, she'll burnout and be screwed over.
