No. His mana's like that because it at least somewhat limits him. Not really with him buying mana early, but it helps for the first few levels. Really though, he doesn't even need to USE the hook to push people back. That's why he's punished so heavily for using it. When he had higher stats playing against him went from an annoyance to dodge the hook every fifteen seconds or die.

Not to mention one hook can win a game. I mean yeah it can also lose the game but way more champs dread being hooked than those that thrive off it. His burst damage post six is also rediculous even with no items for a support, and he can basically bring someone squishy to half hp instantly, while cc'ing them. If they buffed his mana regen and mana his weaknesses would basically be nonexistant at higher levels of play. Hell, it would just make him even MORE of a noob stomper without effecting any high levels of play, because the threat of a hook is often more useful than the hook itself during laning phase.
