Surprise, surprise - Runic Echo makes people too fast

Just try to catch an Udyr or a Diana with Runic Echo, don't even get me started with Nidalee. It's like a ranged Hecarim. Even Homeguard boots aren't enough. I can see 2-3 Runic Echos per team if this stays as is.

i cant cuz its awful outside of the jungle role lamow

plus ap junglers arent even in right now.... it's all about like lee sin, reksai, graves, rengar, gragas, khazix, etc...

the only ap junglers that's even really a priority pick that doesnt completely fall off into oblivion is like elise. gragas is a tank so dont even go "oh he's an ap."

i mean there's like tier 2 junglers like ekko and nidalee that can use it... but honestly ekko is better as tank so that item doesnt even do what its supposed to for him. and nidalee falls off horribly... all she can do after 30 mins is throw easy to dodge af abilities and pray they land. which doesnt even matter cuz in a real elo adcs buy lifesteal and have janna's and shit.

...It gives the same amount of MS that Luden's gives, and that was a common pickup on both Diana and Nid prior to Runic Echoes coming out. AP characters having +10% MS isn't a new thing. Runic Echoes Udyr is a fad because it sounds funny on paper - he was never someone you could outrun anyway.

And no, people are not going to spend the gold for a jungle item just so they can run fast when there are a ton of MS items in the game already, including you know, Luden's Echo.

I can't see 2-3 echos a game. that means 2-3 people are taking smite. And that is a HUGE disadvantage for most champions who would build echos.
