Anyone with the pbe give us some insight on how mages feel?

Specifically ones that used to use mana pots. Are they always oom now? How is the increased cost for the items??

I love the ap items changes "we nerf the stats, we increase the price"

I played Syndra on pbe and without mana pots it was kinda hard. You have to go biscuits and really manage mana.

Really bad. Increased price on every AP item and reduced mana options, what would you expect?

I feel like ADC and Yasuo mid are going to be meta if the changes are pushed through as they are now.

Calm down. Riot still hasn't implemented MP5 and base mana changes. This is not how things are gonna go live.

Meditation: Once every 5 seconds, regenerate 0.3%/0.6%/0.9%/1.2%/1.5% of your missing Mana.

This is pretty easy to get in the masteries now though.

I don't get how that works? Like one second .3 then next .6 then next .9 until 1.5 then it restarts every 5 seconds?

That's shitty that's not even good

it's not terrible

free mana regen is nothing to shake your fist at, even if it could be better

With no mana pots it is something to shake your first at

It is actually very good. It is 75% of Athene's passive. It will make a noticeable difference over time.

A bit bad at the moment (better than expected actually). There haven't been any mana changes yet so it's waaaaay to early to judge.

What about the prices?

Sightless66Oct 30, 20151 votes

It hurts a bit, but it's pretty similar for other classes. Assassins had small price increases to the items they use most (or they just have to use new items), and AD carry items got more varied but have slightly lower average stats for their cost, so for the most part it evens out. There are a few small differences, but with only a few games I really can't say that those are due to the items as opposed to just being due to me and my opponents. Zhonya's is the only thing I bought in 2 games of Lux and 1 as Cho that really felt significantly weaker each time.

I'm a little curious about poke supports. Seeing as Eye of the watchers and Frost queen's glam now have 150% base mana regen. really seems like They may have the better end of the stick with the mana changes.
