why does it not have increasing mana cost? if you've played ziggs, you would have noticed that he has HUGE mana issues early and mid game, so having an increasing cost on his ult wouldn't really be fair, as if he builds mana items, his damage is HUGELY decreased. this is because of the rather small ratios on all his abilities except for his ult (0.65 on bouncing bomb, 0.35 on satchel charge, 0.3 on minefield, unless the enemy decides to step on as many as possible). His ult is pretty much the only ability he has that has a good scaling. He relies on AP more than other casters due to his lower ratios, so he can't really afford to build mana as well.
