Mana Manipulator is an extremely efficient item on him: Not only does it give the most mana regen possible for a starter's, it also gives this regen to allies! Why is that so great? When laning with an ally with spammable spells, they get farmed better AND heal you up. Pros: More abilities cast in lane for passive, virtually never have to recall Both you and your partner get farmed better Extremely strong harass Fairly cheap, not much gold loss after selling (in fact, you save so much time not having to recall that it pays for itself) Cons: Less HP than with a Doran's Ring start (although since you get more spells cast, you heal the 100 hp back after 4 sets of 5 abilities) Less AP (although more abilities quickly make up, and even surpass you harassing abilities) Ppl will flame you for sucking Enemies rage quit and ruin your fun

Try sometime tho.
