I think Ali needs some mana cost reductions. At level one, you can only do 3 Qs/Ws before running oom. Ali also is in the bottom half of the list of champions by mana at 1 and 18 and mana regen at 1 and 18. Now this wouldn't be such a problem if he was more like Ashe. ASje may have a smaller mana pool and worse mana regen, but she only uses 8 mana per frost shot, 60 mana per volley, has a free hawkshot, and uses 100 mana for arrow.
