I don't like the direction riot is making for runes in 8.7

There was so many nerfs in runes in 03/21 pbe update

Domination

Sudden Impact - Cooldown Increased from 4s to 25s Rito? you're slowly making domination secondary runes useless. Why not buff the other 2 runes (cheap shot and Taste of Blood) these feel bad. RIP Katarina, 4 nerfs in 6 patchs (if this runes changes ship) i think.

Zombie Ward - Ward curation lowered from 60s - 180s to 30s - 120s Yeah maybe it needed, but you cutted half of the duration early game... This is huge, tbh ghost poro needs buffs.

Sorcery

Absolute Focus - Grants 3 ad or 5 ability power at level 1 Okay good change, it needed some love, karma will love this.

Gathering Storm 10 min: + 8 AP or 5 AD to 6 AP or 4 AD 20 min: + 24 AP or 14 AD to 18 AP or 11 AD 30 min: + 48 AP or 29 AD to 36 AP or 22 AD 40 min: + 80 AP or 48 AD to 60 AP or 36 AD 50 min: + 120 AP or 72 AD to 90 AP or 54 AD 60 min: + 168 AP or 101 AD to 126 AP or 76 AD

Lol, i loved the rune, because sometimes i want to have a Worse early game to scale better. Idk if riot should have nerfed this rune, i feel like they hit scorch to hard and water walking is niche.

Precision

Legend: Tenacity - Tenacity per stack increased from 1.5% to 2.5% Good change tbh

Cut Down - Max health threshold lowered from 2000 to 1500 Max damage increased from 10% to 12%

I have mixed feelings about this buffs, this buffs will make adc's stronger against fighter and people who scale a bit hp (i dont think this affects full tanks at all).

Inspiration

Aproach Velocity - Movespeed increased from 10% to 15% Good. It is a rune that needed love but is niche.

Resolve

Bone Plating - Cooldown changed from 45s to 70s - 40s It is a okay change.

maybe it's a good start to remove the fuckton of damage they introduced during the years

Sudden Impact - Cooldown Increased from 4s to 25s

Wow. Went from good to trash tier instantly. Legit six times the cooldown in one go

Isn't it approach velocity, not Celestial body?

I think they need to nerf the whole entire 4th row of precision runes by 2%.

btw I'm pretty sure the absolute focus changes are just a tooltip change and already granted that at level 1

Why'd you title the thread "I don't like the direction riot is taking with the runes" and then agree with 4.5 of the 8 changes listed?

Nerf them harder. Remove them entirely. Runes/Masteries are a bad and pointless game system.

Why isn't there Last Stand buffs?? The way it scales compared to cutdown and coup de grace is pretty awful. You need 30% health just to beat cutdown by a measly 1%!! It's not even the best in slot for Kled, who would seem to be the champ who could benefit the most from Last Stand... It's obviously drastically underpowered.
