Mango or clarity?

[Bianco Angelo]

I see all the guides suggesting mangoes for mana regen in laning phase,but that mana doesnt even feel that great.
Clarity provides 50 more mana for cheaper price.I can understand mangoes if you ere playing an offlaner who needs to contest farm, but in the case of a support,why not just stack up clarities since you arent in any danger of getting them cancelled?

What do you mean you are not in any danger? If you are not constantly harassing enemy heroes and obviously getting harassed back than you are playing wrong. Also mangoes give you extra health regen + they are instant

[Bianco Angelo]

Come now, you dont pull camps to get the lane back?You dont harass at a safe distance?Sounds like enough space and time for a clarity
And nobody buys mangoes for the hp regen

instant mana regen in early can save a teammate or grantee a kill easy, so if your hero spends a lot mana for stun or good DMG, u need mango for first blood, sometimes shield like Abaddon who can save others.
clarity can be disabled simply by one attack and is slow.
you really needed someone to tell you all this?? xD

Mango is used in critical moments, when you need some mana instantly.
Clarity is used in chill out moments, like warding/stacking/walk of shame to wisdom etc

Thank you for your input guys.

How about you show a screen shot of your own rank here first so we can know you have a DECENT rank yourself??
you are probably a troll trying to bait
boring

I've never bought a mango. Clarity and planning. I bet clarity has a higher nutritional value.

No need to be rude towards new players

[DUGONG]

clarity is better if you have time to go in and out of combat at your pleasure. Mango for those clutch moments or to feed your depleted carry who is low on mana for ultimate

You don't need a "decent" rank to understand some basic things.
If you couldn't figure that out yourself - you're probably short on IQ

If i needed a guide on basic things, i would just go to google and find it.

My answer would be both. As a pos 5 I usually get 3 clarities and 2 mangoes to start with (if available). They are used for different things. My main regen is clarity as I pull lanes, get runes or while I position myself. Mangoes are good to turn a fight around as a surprise when they think you dont have mana. It cal also save your life in an emergency to disengage or get a kill.

Because as a support you MUST be CONSTANTLY engaging the enemy untill the lane is won.

The lane is won by trading favourably

Most common type of favouvarable trade is two vs one.

If you leave the lane to Regen mana for half a minute you may as well leave the game.

The only time you can use clarity is when you go for wisdom time on minute seven. But at this s tyme lane is already won or lost in general.

Idk mate, that sounds like an insecure take to me. As if you should give up everything else to trade with the enemy laners. Then you reach ganking phase at 10min with 3k networth and wonder what went wrong.I m at almost 5k rating and if you dont stack camps you 'll fall behind big time.

stop using all your mana at lvl 1, wait for the power spike. and grab the lotuses
