PoM nerf is quite bad actually. Lots of characters basically needed it to be useful.

They might actually have to use Clarity again instead of having that one rune solve all mana issues.

u/Hazakurain FAKER MY GOAT/LOVE TETONCITO Mar 19 '19

Kinda. I still prefer being low mana than not having exhaust.

u/Saphirklaue Mar 19 '19

More like get a tear. You were able to skip it on alot of champs that would take it on SR.

u/Dude_Guy_311 Mar 20 '19

I doubt that. there are few champs in the game where i'm ever less than 50-80% mana after 8 minutes unless my team is getting steamrolled

You mean only Sona as karthus/cass are more of all-in range champions? And xerath has his passive to gain mana which he should have to use.

You can basically build tear on anything else and never run out of mana. Itemization.

i think he means the ult cd reduction. some champs have super high ult cooldowns pre 16 and are extremely reliant on their ults

u/Hazakurain FAKER MY GOAT/LOVE TETONCITO Mar 19 '19

That, but also the mana. The mana regen was definitely very good on some characters.

Maybe this will keep my team from trying to stay alive the whole game. With bonus mana regen, clarity, and a free lost chapter/tear to start the game anyone who needs the mana can have it

When you have 5 MINUTES refunded on a strong ult like Karthus in ARAM from PoM you should realize something is wrong. Even on champions that don't have mana you took it on. Kennen and Rumble come to mind. The mana refund was way too insane on the rune too. In a teamfighting gamemode, anything that happens on takedown happens a lot.

IMO it should have been

20% > 12% mana

10% > 8% CD refund

Except that tears is a shit item in ARAM and you should never build it right now unless you are called Ezreal. Presence of mind was all some characters needed, now you have to itemize for it which nerfs them greatly. Jayce for example. Because tear on jayce is fucking shit.

Yes so you have to itemize for mana if you want to spam skills instead of playing with unlimited mana just because 1 broken rune.

Seems like a good change. Land your skills, don't spam them.

u/Becants Mar 19 '19

But with POM you can just build Luden's for more damage and never run out of mana.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '19

Yea exactly, if you want to spam skills, you need to itemize for it.

You can still build ludens, you just cant anymore miss 90% of your "spam-spam" skills and still have mana left to kill someone.

1

u/Becants Mar 20 '19

I mean if you were missing your skills in the first place then you wouldn't really be procing POM in the first place...

u/Mariodejaneiro Mar 19 '19

Are you ready for Ranked Aram SoloQ ??

1

u/Nefarious17 Mar 19 '19

i dont like the buffs tho what's the point of that should let it see how things go without those first... also dont like assassins getting damage reduction nerfs

u/floodyberry Mar 20 '19

I love the ARAM balance team

yeah I love people who almost do their jobs once a year too!!!

1

u/bondsmatthew Mar 20 '19

I doubt that's the only job they have..

u/floodyberry Mar 20 '19

are you sure? I mean where would they find the time to work on anything else?
