"It should not build from an item that gives mana"

Then, oh gloriously enlightened one, do tell me what, pray tell, should it build out of, in your magnificent opinion?

It builds out of Catalyst. Riot decided for it to be so. Suck it the fuck up, princess.

The mana is almost never wasted. Champions that build Catalyst nowadays do so for RoA. Banshee&apos;s Veil is never touched except in rare cases. Champions on TT that enjoy building RoA but want something that has an immediate effect on the fast-paced gameplay that is TT now can buy this and have the stats that they want.

As the guy who replied to you second said, it&apos;s not for burst mages. They will get more damage just building flat AP. That&apos;s why they are burst mages. Sustained dps mages, on the other hand, enjoy additional health for the tankiness, and prefer mana over mana regen so they can use their skills more. Burst mages favor Mana Regen because their combos have cd gaps where the mana regen can replenish them. Champions like Ryze, Cassiopeia, Karthus, and Singed, on the other hand, spam the shit out of their spells all the time, so a larger mana pool = more damage over time.

If you can&apos;t manage to weasel those facts into your primitive little rodent hind-brain, I recommend a game with less mathematics and theorycrafting involved. Something more to your level. Perhaps an alphabet game, or something that involves color matching.
