The Hunter runes in Domination need to be spread out

So for everybody's frame of reference the Hunter runes in Domination are the third row that scale with unique champ takedowns.

  • Ravenous Hunter (Ability, item, and on-hit effect lifesteal)
  • Ingenious Hunter (Item CDR)
  • Relentless Hunter (Out of Combat Movement)
  • Ultimate Hunter (Ultimate CDR, Stacks with normal CDR)

So I feel like none of these runes are bad exactly but I definitely feel like there are some clear winners and losers here. Would you ever take Out of Combat moment or item CDR over having your Ultimate ability up faster? Even in niche situations where your ultimate isn't as important to your kit the Ravenous Hunter ability is much more appealing than the other two.

There's nothing wrong with some picks being niche in the game.

Every single rune doesn't need to be viable on every single champion.

 

Relentless Hunter is better suited to heavy roam champions such as Junglers or roaming mid laners.

Ravenous Hunter is better suited to laners who don't have innate sustain in their kits.

Ultimate Hunter is better suited to champions with high impact, high cooldown ultimates such as Shen, Malphite, Taric, Amumu etc.

Ingenious Hunter is better suited to Glacial Augment abusers or champions who have a lot of item actives.
