HP and armor runes need buffs.

HP Crookshanks··2 votes·1,045 views

80 HP at level 18 feels worthless when you consider Galio has 776 more HP than Janna at level 18.

On the other hand, armor is already the least useful stat in the game. 6 armor might be slightly useful at the first minutes of the game but becomes worthless as the game progresses like the armor items while 8 MR is always useful if the enemy team has AP champion (otherwise it's worthless too). Enemy Zed is going to one shot you or Vayne is going to kill you in 3 auto attacks anyway. Some people pick 6 armor rune over 8 MR rune just because AP champions are rarely played.

What I don't understand is why runes give 8 mr or only 6 armor. Even if it gave 8 armor, due to armor scaling I will only consider it if early game will be rough. If you're against a mage in lane you take damage + double mr. If you're against AD laner but their comp still has decent magic damage, you take double damage + mr or double damage + health. Only if you're jungling you take double damage + armor just because jungling requires taking a lot of physical damage and regeneration and your first clear is significantly worse without the armor. This is just another reason why playing mages feel like shit because the opponent can take double mr runes to shut down your laning phase while taking double armor is basically just inting away gold efficiency.

Have you ever checked champion pick/ban rates?

95% of my games have AP champions. What are you actually on about?

Top 20 most picked champions are Kaisa Ezreal Vayne Thresh LeeSin Nautilus Lux Yasuo Irelia JarvanIV Jinx Lucian Jax Morgana Hecarim Nami Caitlyn Jhin Riven Kayn .Only 3 of them AP. One of them is support (Nami ) and rest of them are mages that mostly played as supports (Lux Morgana ). Zed is not on the list because of his insane ban rate. He is the biggest reason why full AD comps are so popular along with Yasuo .

And the thread is not about rarity of AP champions, it's about how weak are HP and armor runes. Please learn to read before calling people troll.
