Summon Aery AKA diet comet

Since they announced the new runes I can say that the only one I was disappointed by was Summon Aery. There's nothing unique about it. It deals some damage or gives a small shield and both scale? It's like a diet comet with a small shield. It became really popular when they were released but the fact that people took summon Aery over the full damage rune? They're too similar.

I think there's potential for it to be a better rune. Specifically one for supports to utilize. The one idea I had was that the rune should add additional effects or just buff a spell that's casted on allies. Each type of buff would become slightly stronger. So shields and heals could either add some armor and mr, get buffed or give some mana back. Speed boosts could be buffed by a small percent, or something. I haven't thought it throught long enough to balance it for every champion but it's just an idea. I just really don't like how creative Summon Aery isn't. Any thoughts on Summon Aery or what it could be?

it was meant as enchanter supports rune (or at least something that helps with shields but still allow to trade),but it became the oppressive poking rune for early game

i hate how it can be still used in this way,they should add the self cast on shields and heals + some utility or additional effects but totally removing its damage we already have a similiar rune for filling this niche (arcane comet),and as long as there is a similiar rune that can't be missed with a shorter CD it will be always abused

i mean,you can have fun even if you don't get 1/3 of enemy HP bar per trade,especially as support...new runes are made for adapting on your playstyle and allowing you to make choices that would influence the game,so let me choose if i want a poking/trading rune or an utility one

I like Aery because it's just a guarantee bonus dmg with a shorter cd than comet. If you use champions with spammable level 1 abilities, you'll be able to force the enemy out of lane before level 2. Koreans have been running Aery Akali top lane and her level 1 poke is devastating.

the reason people take it is because it is

guaranteed damage magic damage allowing for hybrid damage depending on which spell you use you can proc it more often then comet

I don't like how it procs off auto attacks. Even ADC's are taking it just for the free lv 1 damage it gives.

I thought it would make Aery a little more unique if instead of just doing damage to an enemy, it slightly amplified subsequent abilities on the target aery was attached to. So no damage from aery directly.

I think poke mages would still use comet, but dps/burst-ish magesas well as supports since it's like a mini press the attack for engages. The shielding on allies could stay the same.

This was my idea on Aery and how to solve more than one problem at once.
