manaless bruisers

I feel like most of the bruisers in the game that use mana really don't feel fun or strong to play if they have mana or some resource they can run out of easily. Most mana users in the game can still feel strong when out of mana or have much higher power when they have mana

tanks- a tank can run into the middle of 5 people and watch their health go down slowly while their team wrecks people

adc- adc's can deal tons of damage while oom

mages and assasins- althought they feel weak when out of mana.... these classes feel REDICULOUSLY powerful and satisfying when they have mana and they can afford to put mana items into their build

problem with bruisers

with bruisers having to build both tanky and damage... they have no room in their item builds to build mana... and because they aren't overly tanky or damage dealing... when out of mana they feel very unstisfying to play when you run out of mana.... you always feel punished when your run out of mana rather than feeling strong when you do have mana... which is not what it should be.

ways to fix this

one way I can think of would be to add more mana bruiser itemization... right now there is one item that gives mana and armor and one that gives mana and ad... both of them are DECENT at best for most bruisers... having more items to pick from that offer mana or even mana regen would really benefit the mana bruiser class... especially early game items so that they don't have to wait as long as currently.

another solution is honestly just to cut losses and rework mana costs for the worst offenders champions like darius feel very clunky with mana and making them resourceless or reducing their reliance on mana could really help them to feel more fun than currently

I'm sure there are many other solutions other than these.. but overall I think the bruiser class in both the competitive level and low elo level the top lane is dominated by resourceless bruise not because they are op, but because they can do exactly what mana bruisers can do... but they can do it 1 million times as fast as they want and still be able to do that same thing. mana bruisers are currently unsatisfying and clunky to play... and I hope that they give them more options or improve their mana or mana management so they can feel like bruisers and not mages
