Can we get an ADC or support with no mana bar?

I think mana is a boring mechanic, and resources like rage, heat, etc are really fun and interesting.

I loooove manaless champs like rumble, Morde , riven, renekton etc

Please give these to ADCs and supports as well. It would be fun playing a manaless support since you can avoid mana items. Or perhaps they use hp as a resource to cast spells.

A manaless ADC could have some sick mechanics, like rage or rumbles heating if they in a mech with a mini gun. This would make the champs unique and more fun to play.

What do you guys think? You guys like mana as a resource, or couldn't care less about this topic.

Feel free to spitball potential ideas below. Would be pretty cool to see a yordle in a giant ass mecha ADC , but it might be to similar to rumble (unless they were evil)

Manaless champion can stay in lane indefinetly with some sustain, which would be annoying as ADC since they can just farm and bully whole early game (think an even more annoying Caitlyn).

Right on but now think creatively. Hoe can we balance a manaless ADC? What if their abilities cost HP like Vlad or morde.

What if lifesteal items didn't work on them, but they get passive lifesteal through rage mechanic?

What about a resource meter that league has never seen?

I just think it would be a cool idea and hopefully creative champs

Gnar is both. :D Katarina also makes a decent support for a kill lane. Tryndamere also makes a great support if used wisely. But I too would prefer to see more natural supports with a non-mana mechanic.

Gnar? Pretty good as long as you pick your engagements. He actually lacks some range on most ADCs, but once you get attack speed you can really rip them.

Here is my idea for a manaless support

That's a cool idea but I think thematically he would be better as a warrior. He seems badass with his skills, more suited to top lane perhaps. He could fight toe to toe with riven I think, esp with his q.

Dont see any cc etc in his kit to make him go bot Lane
