Ok, not wrong but misleading. I'm not sure if this is actually a bug so putting it here.

It is not actually a percent of comets hit but rather percent of targets hit by the comet generating ability _and _ by the comet versus just hit by the comet generating ability. In other words, if you have an AoE ability that hits two people, but only one gets hit by the comet, then the rune tooltip will say the comet has only hit 50% of the time. But that is not true, the comet hit 100% of the time (assuming this is first and only comet so far), just not on both people also hit by the AoE ability. A better way to get the stats will be to show % of comets that actually hit something versus comets that hit nothing. I know this technically has zero effect on gameplay, but I feel like that stat does a better job showing how good/bad the comet is on champs with AoE abilities if you are a stat fan and can give a psychological boost to the comet's actual power.

Pretty easy to check out yourself in training- just use someone like Janna or Xerath with an AoE ability and space dummies out appropriately so only one gets hit by comet when both get hit by ability. Then look at % hit in tooltip.

I've noticed that after landing ONE ability, even on just one person, it will say 50% of comets his.

Have not confirmed this yet, but I'm pretty sure it has happened multiple times.
