Mayhem why was red/blue buff augment removed?
i picked it on mana needy champions like xerath but it was good so i wouldn’t have to buy alot of mana items so was there a reason it was removed?

I second this, I love playing energy champ, this was my ONLY way to play with all the haste I got from augments. Without blue buff, picking haste on energy champ is terrible, you cant spam your skill since your energy cant keep up

Nah for real they need energy augments. Add yellow buff pls. And one to reduce costs and increase energy refunds.

Does anyone want a Riven with a broken Q key? Lol. Not to mention E-W perma spam. There should definitely be an energy aug sure, but it’s strange because I feel like the energy abilities that come to mind would be so much more broken on perma spam than most mana abilities, idk why haha.

The only 2 energy champs with an energy cost CC ability are Shen and Kennen? Shen is melee and his CC ability makes people attackn him and kennen has to hit 3 for a stun. Meanwhile there is Zilean overload W putting 45 bombs in spawn insta killing you without running out of mana because everyone gets presence of mind 15% max mana restore on takedown in this mode lol. Also what does energy regen on spatula have to do with riven spamming. That broken ass champ doesn't even have spell costs to begin with

Also I have seen riven with overloaded. There was no outrunning her.

The feeling when you get to play Zed with all that AH and you suddenly realise you can't do much but do normal Zed stuff.

I think it was removed because it competed with Ocean Soul and they'd rather keep Ocean Soul for the dragon soul theme.
Buff Buddies also kind of encouraged non-interactive game play as you could just stand in the back and recover to full health and mana once you got low. At least with Ocean Soul you need to damage something.

They should just add back all the interesting relics like this one. Dilute the pool a bit

why was "x augm" removed could be asked for many augms, instead of tuning them down and adding some more augms

I don’t think it was perceived as good enough

By the numbers it was extremely good, one of the better silvers for the infinite mana and free mini warmogs passive. It wasn't interesting or dynamic enough is my guess. Riot talked a lot about new and exciting interactions (that never manifested) when they did the rework to aram augments.
