I feel like nerf in patch 8.7 to this rune made it so insignificant that Ultimate hat is pretty much always better option (even more as one of the best overall runes in game imo, you get your damn high cdr ULT up more often).

At 500 max mana you get 5 MP5 at 0 mana (which doesn't really help much when you are oom and would need 50-100 mana for spell) and if you aren't oom then manaregen given by this rune is going to be even less and in many cases barely even worth faerie charm. BTW you also need to get 10 stacks on this ability to get the regen, which is very difficult to get fast without reliable low cooldown low manacost poke skill (which if you have you don't even need this rune in the first place, you just need to git gud).

Also since this rune doesn't effect energy using champions anymore the only thing in game to help you with energy sustain is getting a blue buff (and unless you happen to be a jungler: good luck with that).

I really liked old version of this rune on my Kayle support, which allowed me to have one free 100 mana cost heal every 75 seconds and now I'm just sad because this change was big nerf on her laning phase where you really really need that cost free heal :(
