For those wondering about the big differences between energy and mana: Mana is a resource that allows the champion to spam its abilities as much as it wants, only being limited by cooldowns, but will eventually inhibit the usage of any abilities. When you run out of mana, it takes really long to get it back, especially ion the early game. Energy on the other hand, limits the champion to a few ability casts every so often (although this improves throughout the game), but heavily rewards the player for correct usage of abilities and one cannot run out of energy for long-terms.

Basically, mana allows for many abilities to be cast in quick succession, but will at some point require a long time to recharge. Energy allows for a few abilities to be used in quick succession (causing a short exhaustion), but this can be done as many times as you want without requiring a long time-out.
