Inspiration Rune Idea, Doublecast

J720PlayzLOL·7/30/2018, 7:40:35 PM·5 votes·3,809 views

What do you guys think of this idea for an Inspiration Rune, Doublecast, at the beginning of the match select Q, W, E, R as a double-cast able ability, this ability can be cast twice for the rest of the game, 1st cast starts the cooldown and 2nd cast can be used anytime in between that or not at all. Downsides, the cooldown for the ability is doubled and not affected by CD reduction or levels in that ability. Pro sides, can be used for sick outplays and the 2nd cast does not require any mana. Any questions?

Edit 1 - Some abilities such as W's would be locked, for overpowered use.

Edit 2 - Most abilities will have some sort of debuff to prevent major problems.

Sounds awful tbh, even with the debuffs. You would have to look at every single ability and decide wether it needs a debuff or not. You can't even say stuff like "50% less damage" because who gives a sh*t if my Morgana Q only does half the damage, that's not why I used it in the first place. And if you just add more rules like "50% less healing" "50% less cc duration" "50% less buff duration" etc. then what's the point in taking it? Might as well take Electrocute again, or Aery.

What I dont understand is how the cooldown works. So you have double the level 1 cooldown of the ability, this cooldown is fix and nothing can change that. To compensate that, you can cast the ability a second time during it's cooldown.

So you have double the cd but can cast it twice. The only upside is being able to cast the 2nd cast whenever you want during the active cooldown. However, to do this you loose out on a LOT of cooldown, if you choose something like Blitz Q, Camille E or Zoe E plus the 2nd cast is going to be weaker? And what happens if I pick let's say Ahri Q. The cooldown will be somewhere around 16 to 20 seconds I think so let's just go with 20. Can I now cast Q, wait for 19.5 seconds, cast Q again, wait for the last .5 seconds, cast Q again, with that starting the cd again and cast Q a third time?

I really need an explanation for the cooldown thing.

There are like a hundred abusable spells with this, why the hell is it being upvoted?

Who wants to lane against LB with a double cast q, Talon with a ranged q + crit q, Ahri with double orbs on a charm, Orianna immediate ball repositions for R's, Malza-press R TWICE, etc.

sounds utterly horrible and would be a balancing nightmare.

What an ultimately broken idea lol

It will create a major burst problem when people double tap their most leveled ability, and will guarentee a proliferation of the same low TTK issues that rengar's first iterations had with the tripple Q.

This can work, but ONLY if the second skill cast is not allowed to do any damage whatsoever.

remove the R and it might work, though probably still to strong...the all-in potential of many champs yould be absurd.

Champions already get 45% cdr and sometimes even more on their ults. this rune would be extremely problematic because every assassin would just double cast burst abilities for instant delete.

MagicFlyingLlama7/30/2018, 7:48:36 PM1 votes

Grossly overpowered and hilariously broken on some champs. It would be the only viable rune for almost every champion.

Just imagine Zilean casting W twice or just about any champion with a long-cooldown stun.

So does Riven get to double execute players or get double bonus AD and range

If its like, 20% of the damage of the original spell, and on a decently long CD, okay.

Ok, no. Ultimate abilities should not be included in something like this
