Resolve Should Be Split Into Two Rune Trees - New Defensive Rune Tree Listed In the Post.

Currently we have 3 damage oriented rune trees, 1 defensive rune tree, and 1 useless utility tree.

Part of the reason damage seems so oppressive right now is because there is no longer access to early game resistances, with the defensive tree only offering 1 rune that gives an unconditional resistance increase, yet it doesn't activate until 10 minutes into the game.

The solution? A new rune tree!

Bastion

This tree is oriented around resistances, whereas resolve will focus on health, naturally the numbers might need tweaking.

Primary tree bonus: +5 flat armor and magic resistance, +1 armor and magic resistance per level. Secondary tree bonus: +5 flat armor and magic resistance.

Keystones:

• Aftershock: taken from Resolve.

• Fortress: For the first 4 seconds in combat with enemy champions, you gain 25% damage reduction and tenacity. When this effect ends, gain a shield equal to (50%?) of damage resisted for 2 seconds. Cooldown: 30-12 seconds (scaling with champion level), cooldown is paused while in combat with enemy champions. Duration and reduction reduced by 50% for ranged champions.

• Retaliating Strikes: Gain a reservoir of retaliation damage. The reservoir's size is equal to 10-180 (scaling with champion level) + 25% total armor and magic resist. The reservoir pool is charged by receiving damage from enemy champions, charge gained is equal to 50 (+ 10% total armor and magic resist)% pre-mitigation damage. While your reservoir is filled, your next auto attack will empty your reservoir and deal bonus magic damage equal to your reservoir (reduced by 40% for ranged champions). Your reservoir pool will begin to decay after 5 seconds of not being in combat with enemy champions (10% per second).
