Hey everyone, Lately I started playing a lot with champions that uses energy akali, lee sin, zed. The one thing I realized is that, in market there is no energy regen or +... energy items. For champions with energy, managing your energy gets really difficult. I even bought energy runes but it seems like, its not enough. It's just an idea and problem I was struggling with. Feel free to comment
Sir ArmaMalum3 votesEnergy as a resource gates play differently than mana. Mana-gating rewards accuracy and harass, Energy-gating rewards proper comboing.
For example, mana champs have a large pool with a large number of possible spell casts at their disposal. Miss too much though, and you mana starts restricting after a while.
Energy champs, however, have a much smaller max pool before they start getting restricted, but it comes back very fast, which means a lot of damage in a small amount of time is the way to go with energy champs.
Try getting the combos down, and then be patient between combos. Going in without enough energy at the start will restrict in the middle of a combo and cause issues. Also, energy runes are just not worth it. It's not worth the hyper specialized rune page and other stats are far better for your game.
CaptainWednesday1 votesWell put, Sir. If you don't mind, I'd like to add a little bit.
You see, Energy champs are not like mana based, HP based, or resourceless champions. Their play styles are not the same, therefore you cannot compare them to other resources. Play more patiently, after all, that's what the energy champions are centered around. You can poke here and there, but when its time to go in and pull your combo off, you need to understand how to refresh your energy and continue on. It comes down to understanding the concept of Energy vs. other resources, the pros and cons of Energy based champions, and your knowledge of the Energy champion you're playing. Best of luck to you.
Water of Eden3 votesEvery energy champion has a way to get energy back, partially or completely.
Hyrum Graff1 votesI think what you're describing is supposed to be the tradeoff for energy champs. Mana champs have a larger pool, but much less regeneration. Energy champs have enough regen that they'll never have to go back to base to refill their pool, but as a result, can't spam the same way mana champs can.
IMO, this is a good game design and balance decision (in contrast to resourceless champss)
Edit: as usual, Sir ArmaMalum said what I said, but better :P
Entropia1 votesBillBoss i understand your statement but mana is so much more efficient and more champions have mana then energy. Energy regens fast enough just keep walking away and your back to like 150 energy and playing akali, lee sin, zed your already have enough to use all three abilities.
Cerbearus1 votesTheir resource regen (every energy champ has some way of getting it back) and whatnot is balanced to the point of not needing items. Someone who learns to manage their energy should never find themselves lacking.
SirTezla1 votesEnergy regen runes, I use those every once and a while.
