The new passive is useless in teamfights compared to nearly any other mage.

Annie can still stun, Karthus has 6 seconds of zombie life and free casting, Malzahar still spawns a pet that can block skills and do damage, Brand has his own ignite ability that scales on enemy health.

Meanwhile, if you kill a creep, or a champion with a killing blow, you gain 18 mana.
