RIOT? Why do some champs use Mana and others are manaless?
Anyone know Riots thought process when deciding whether to make a champ use mana or not. Some champs seem a little unbalanced at certain levels in the game as well as at certain levels of skill. Riven has no sustain but has crazy everything else. So you only need build to sustain while building to complement the gifts you have been given. This is an example and I know there are counters but why are lane bullies ok some times but not others? Many people (riot included) have said that Ren is a lane bully and most people will lose lane to him anyway. Kat gets banned in every ranked game I have played, if memory serves me. If she used mana but some was refunded with her cd on kills it seems like that would tame her without having to do a bunch of nerfs. Why does she use energy anyway is my main point. I was just curious. I don't read PBE boards and thought some others that read Riot direct post could shed some light.
How come no Marksman uses energy instead of mana? Why not an ammo system on abilities with low CD where their ult was "care package". It gives them a minor buff for a few seconds and refills all there ammo without returning to base. Is it taboo on a marksman while being par for the course on every other lane.
I was thinking one time that nothing Teemo does is magical. Why does he use mana? If he was truely the devil his power should be near limitless anyway. They nerfed him way to hard just for residing on the physical plane.
