Manaflow vs biscuits vs presence of mind
I have almost always been exclusively taking manaflow until now, but I’m not sure if that’s always the right choice. If you need mana from your runes (especially for the early laning phase until you get some mana regen from your item), which one would you pick? What are the advantages of each rune? Thanks for the reply in advance!
Manaflow is better late game and works well with someone that pokes a little (enchanters) Presence of Mind works with supports that like extended trades but it is pretty weak so you would only go it if you needed legend tenacity or something else from the tree. Biscuits are nicer than manaflow in that you get mana and health back but you overall get less. They tend to be good in sustain lanes or against poke.
I prefer biscuits with time warp or stopwatch because I tend to play engage supports but it depends on your playstyle. Bare in the mind that choosing a rune means you also have the rest of the tree
biscuits are overrated, basically bad players who can't manage their mana use it. if you're going inspiration then futures market is better to get spikes earlier (you want to go in debt like 3 times and 1 time every 10 mins so min11, 12..also if you go in debt spend as much money as possible due to the 50 gold debt extra you get)
for enchanters ive personally gone the sona build on most. Aery manaflow transcendence and gathering storm (scorch sucks dont ever go scorch) with resolve 2nd for either the extra resists next to second wind, or second wind when vs heavy poke lane and revitalize
Biscuits are good for baiting during fights. The sudden HP and mana gains can net you kills. Depends on the other rune you want to take as well. Biscuits you can take stopwatch or boots. Presence of mind is better for characters like Senna cuz of the other runes in that tree. Mana flow you can take adaptive force, etc.
Imo manaflow is pretty overrated and almost never matters, and nimbus cloak will save your life as an enchanter so I would take that instead. You already build so much mana sustain, that you basically never have mana problems, so mana flow gets wasted.
i find biscuits only make a difference when the matchup is super super close, which in soloq is pretty rare.
biscuits get outscaled hard by... well everything.
manaflow gets value when you use it to delay your mana item- for example on a mage support having manaflow can mean you can skip forbidden idol and just stack amp tome and sorcs (stylistic choice). for enchanters typically you are always going to just bumrush mana items no matter what so manaflow does not do all that much for you.
Presence of mind is good on tank supports. You can take it on champs like blitz and leona. Take yellow tree secondary and take presence of mind and legend tenacity. It will artificially increase ur winrate instead of taking biscuits secondary.
Mana flow with presence is better.
You’ll almost never run out if mana.
Biscuits are honestly only good if you have time work tonic.
Which only top laners and some mid laners run this rune.
For early sustain and last resort healing cause it can save their life.
Support don’t need biscuits cause they can start with 2 pots and their items offer them health regen or mana regen and their champions usually already have a way of self sustain through shields or healing.
Mana and presence is better cause the ones who take this combo usually Mages and some enchanters are going for the 3 item scaling.
So by that point they have plenty of mana so they can just constantly spam spells.
Use them combo on a champion like xerath or velkoz and you’ll almost never run out of mana.
Only time you will is before your first purchase which should always be lost chapter
Biscuits are my favorite cause of the health regen it also gives. Presence of mind comes in second cause ai almost never run out of mana with it. Manaflow just seems so underwhelming.
But I'll still take whichever one is attached to the tree that best works on the champion I picked
Depends on who you are playing, your lane matchups, and your playstyle. Theres no cookie cutter answer here unfortunately.

sona goes tear so she doesn't really need PoM, yuumi does want it though
