ARAM Dark Harvest Nerf

Dark Harvest is way too powerful in ARAM.

Since champs get killed much more frequently here, I think it would be appropriate to reduce the amount of stacks that each kill gives by reducing the stacks from champs from 6 to 3. This way, it doesn't get powerful too early on and doesn't outshine literally every other rune.

EDIT: There are so many champions that are becoming viable due to Dark Harvest, which I think is a great thing for ARAM, I'm just concerned that DH outshines many other runes.

Triumph.

The scary part is, if Triumph literally healed for 0 HP, it would still be a high power rune on murder bridge. There are a couple runes in Inspiration that amount to "jump through some hoops, get 300 GP". Triumph hits that benchmark after 12 Takedowns.

(ARAM's got a severe 'some runes are just too good' issue)

I just played an ARAM game where I was like 12-1 on Kalista to start and got a pentakill and everything.

I couldn't do anything at all past 8 minutes though because a Rengar with dark harvest and duskblade literally did 95% of my HP in 1 auto. His Dark Harvest damage alone was 5.2k which is completely obnoxious considering the game was only like 17 minutes.

If we're going to get specific ARAM adjusts compared to SR, then there is literally no more excuse we cant nerf the fuck out of warmogs as well( increase the hp requirement, or at least revert it to the old value of 3000)

I agree though, I'd like to see this change go through

Dark harvest made my ap nunu relevant late game. Tbh Dark harvest has made aram the most fun it's been in a loooong time.

In my opinion, I think they should let dark harvest be somewhat strong on Howling Abyss. It probably does need a slight nerf on that map, but a lot of its users were far outclassed by tanks and mages before the new runes. I think the real problems are with the champs rather than that particular keystone.

Unless one rune is obscenely outdoing others- I doubt that will happen. Currently a lot of runes from every tree are fairly powerful in ARAM.

Also Triumph need hard nerf.
