I really wish Kleptomancy didn't Drop gold bags.

Seriously, I don't feel like I played better than the Enemy Toplaner when I spam Q for a bit and just happen to get 2 gold bags before first back, giving me a 4 minute sheen (with corrupting pot as starting item, not mana crystal.) And on the Flipside of the coin it feels pretty shitty if you proc Kleptomancy 8 times before you finally get a loot, and it's a bloody mana potion.

Honestly, the RNG on this thing is just realy frustrating for atleast one side, and the value of Goldbags compared to the other loots is not making that any better.

I feel ya man. I'm more excited for a gold bag than I am for a skill elixir and thats... not ok.

Also, in LCS 2 weeks back one of the NA top laners was playing GP (I forget who), and on each of his first 3 parrrlays he got a gold bag. Luck swings both ways, and it feels shit at both ends of the spectrum.

Kleptomancy needs to have a less luck-based system.

RNG can never have a place in a game that is meant to be all about skill at a proffessional level

That was Riots stance for years. Then they released Zoe and Klepto...

Honestly it's the only keystone other than maybe spell book that I feel needs to just be removed.

Klepto itself is a mistake.

It also kinda makes up the weakness of the debt rune in my experience.

Klepto is something that should just be in the rotating game modes

The bags are fine to exist, i just think they should be a more balancing lever to counteract some of the inherent RNG and differences between champs, making the bags more likely to drop the less gold klepto has given you. This way if you cant proc it often, you still get a decent bit of gold from klepto, where as if you can proc it constantly, you might be getting plenty of other things but the gold income wont be nearly as often.

I think its very healthy, its a risky rune that should only be taken on champs like tf or gangplank. If you take it on gnar, or jax, and do poorly cause the rng was bad, that was your move.

Gangplank doesnt mind not getting anything cause he was used to not getting anything anyways from the old runes.

Gold isn't really the problem , my real problem is when they get potions for hp and mana like I've been poking for nothing the whole time
