You got me on there on health. Once health-resource champs get enough sustain, it seems they are resourceless champions with sustain. x_x It is a restriction as they would have to build sustain to really survive, but they can indeed increase their pool.

Farming is indeed a really big problem with the early tactic. Though I generally don't see the mana hungry AD champions having problems with pressure. We all know is really good at that. is just beautiful with pressuring the enemy. The biggest problem I would say regarding these champs and pressure is enemy sustain. If they heal off your damage, then it's quite damaging for you. My personal solution for this is buying. It really solves the entire issue. You can harass them more with your vast supply of mana which allows you to farm. To finish, I get a and I don't need to buy mana potions anymore.

Out of curiousity. How do you sustain your mana going the build you go? I can imagine it being a royal pain having to wait until you get your to sustain. Do you jungle with blue buff, buy a mana potions/crystaline flask, or not even use abilities for harass? If you are jungling, I honestly can see skimping out on being a good idea. just seems like a must have if you are laning. You pile on a metric ton of pressure with a and. I just see the early laning phase relying on a build being too much for poor old  to handle.
