Wouldn't the "Overheal rune" be better ..

As a support rune?

For example a X% of all your healing abilities on allies that exceed their max HP is turned into a shield that decays over Y seconds.

Making it short would mean that the support would need to time it right.Using it too early would mean that most of the shield would decay before the damage is dealt,while using it too late would just waste the effect.

I would be an interesting for skill expression and timing. It would be honestly really good on Soraka,as it could her allow her to play pro-actively instead of just passively.Tho with the new rune system (especially Aery) she's doing fairly well with maxing Q.

Good or bad idea?

As it stands Overheal looks like a good defensive rune for duo laners or junglers. Not sure it needs any changes if it's not being used correctly...

With the 30% conversion rate on self-heals it doesn't seem like it would be very good on junglers either. And the times you would want that instant shield from smite would be so rare that you would be better off with that 15% healing upon kills.

I haven't had a chance to use it with a support who can heal, but with one it seems like it would be really strong at all points of the game. Especially if the shield doesn't decay.

I was thinking more along the lines of the junglers taking the time for a lane that could heal him. I actually forgot that the rune also helped heal the champ using it, even if only a little.

Same here, been wanting to play something other than a marksman I'm not lane and this rune looks like it will help that in spades but I haven't been able to get into a game in a few days to test it. Seems stupid good for a bruiser + support.
