Underpowered or not, giving her mana would allow Riot to give some of her power back without turning her again into the obnoxious snowbally facerolling pubstomper she once was.

On a side note, mana in league tends to be boring because of the purpose it was given: it restricts skill abuse instead of skill use. It is only a limit to laning sustain, poke wars and waveclear stalling (i.e. the 3 less interesting things in LoL). Until you buy a mana item or get blue buff, then it's all forgotten. Whereas in DotA, mana is just as important as health (there's even an item that consumes health to restore mana), so you really have to work around it all the time. Except if you rush Eul's. **** that stupid broken item that ruins everything.
