Gathering Storm is a HUGE problem

Gathering Storm is one of the many reasons that playing ADC feels so god damn useless for the first 30mins of the game.

ADC are naturally the weakest early game role in the game right now (unless ur playing Lucian/Draven/MF).

The problem is, you are FORCED to take it, because ADC is taken solely for their late game power (plus all the other options are complete garbage).

As soon as you take this rune - you put a huge beacon on ur head that says **HEY I GOT NO BONUS STATS FOR FIRST 20-30 MIN OF THE GAME SO COME SMASH MY FACE IN <3 **

The other problem that this rune is generating is it is also giving all the STRONG EARLY GAME CHAMPIONS - FREE LATE GAME SCALING - so they have NO exploitable weaknesses at any stage of the game.

Please Riotu can u consider taking a long hard look at this rune and decide if it is healthy or not for it to be in the game in its current form.

Thnx

p.s. ABSOLUTE FOCUS has the exact same issue and I believe is currently sleeper OP, but when the masses figure it out and start running it on every single champion, you will start to see where the damage power creep is coming from..

  • Crit ADC mains

sorry that the minor rune that essentially garuntees you the game if it lasts past 30 minutes isn't auto winning lane for you early game
