You do realize that with chalice, mana champions are still restricted by the same thing that restrict energy champions. Mana pools are not high at low levels. If you are poking a lot, you will still run out of mana. The mana regen is no where as close of energy champions. Energy champions has 50 per 5 seconds. At best with 100% boost from chalice (which implies you have 0 mana at this point), you would be lucky to reach 35. Also, every single energy champion can spam all their spells in one rotation, and still come out with some energy in reserve if they play properly. They have enough energy and ways to regain energy to use up all their spells.

About your example with Riven and Yorick.. You were already losing that lane. You're complaining that a champion went to buy a item that allowed him to sustain his poke on you and you couldn't do anything because he was poking you. Well, I'm sorry, but, that was just a bad match up for you because you were already losing that lane before he had any mana regen. The fact that he could have just keep spamming his spells did not make you suffer any
