Mana Regen Nerfs Hurt more than just mages

says hi.

Well....none of those are buffed. Only Zed got his QOL change that made him a bit more reliable, his damage is still the same, his kit is the same as it is while he wasn't considered TOP tier so it's Riot's fault nerfing Mana regeneration. To be honest OLD Grail was never OP, it was just boring to watch Zeggs vs Orianna farmfest with abilities cuz they couldn't get OOM...Riot nerfed Grail because they wanted more ACTION in mid lane and game overall. After mana regeneration got nerfed, we got Talon roflstomping pretty much every single mage, same goes for Katarina, and Zed at the end. What is the main problem now? Problem is that you can't play Xerath, Syndra, Ahri, etc against Zed, Talon or Kata without getting OOM, in the other hand, if there is good mana regeneration item, you could poke Zed or Talon more often which will force them to rush Hexdrinker. If you force Zed to rush Hexdrinker instead of Cutlas or Brutalizer he's loosing A LOT of his damage, he will either loose lifesteal and all in potential of a Cutlass or poke and armor penetration from Brutaliser + good amount of AD since Hexdrinker is providing 25 ad (if I am not mistaken) and small amount o MR + Shield while Assassins need damage and sticking power.

So it's unfair that X champion can force Y chamion to rush an item (Zhonyas) while he needs Mana regeneration if that Y champion can't force X champion to rush something that will make him less of a threat. So it's not that Zed, Talon or any AD assassin is OP, problem is that Mages are in a bad spot right now so they can easily get roflmauled by assassins. I have played Orianna few games ago against Talon...Yes, i could poke him, but once he got 1st item and lvl 6 he could easily dive me :)
