Unpopular Opinion: Electrocute should be removed/reworked/nerfed.

The domination tree has very little diversity, with the vast majority of players who take it just taking electrocute.

Dark harvest: Very situational. It's taken on Miss Fortune and Kayn currently.... And that's all I can think of. Sometimes people will take it for some kind of cheese build but other than those situations I very rarely see Dark harvest being used.

Predator: Taken more than Dark harvest, but still not taken on a lot of champs. Volibear, Rammus, Hecarim, and sometimes Nunu among others for, again, cheese builds that are generally impractical in real-game scenarios.

Hail of Blades: Oh yeah, they added that into the game. Jhin takes it... sometimes...... Basically it's just a precision rune disguised as a domination rune. No champs who should be in domination should be taking it, and I'm not sure why Riot wants marksmen taking domination.

I really wish I could take Predator on Talon. I was so excited before the runes came out to run at people at the speed of sound and outplay them, but I have to take Electrocute just because it's so good. I'm sure there are a lot of other situations of a rune that would be really cool on a champ but they can't take it for the same reason.

Side note: I feel as if Sorcery has a similar problem with Arcane Comet, but that's another story.

I think Hail of Blades is under-rated.

My example is Teemo

Late game sure, it sucks compared to others, but think of the trades early.

AA Q AA is his normal trade right?

Why not add in an extra AA or two for every trade?

If it helps you dominate lane early, and you capitalize on that lead, maybe it is stronger than people give it credit for.

Hail of blades works surprisingly well on Azir in my experience.

Azir...? Are we both thinking of the same game?

what is an "Azir". Sounds so familiar like he use to be a very strong champion that is collecting cobwebs now, but I cannot be sure.

Still waiting to see an actual unpopular opinion in an unpopular opinion thread

Downvoted because you said "Unpopular Opinion" and this opinion is the exact opposite of unpopular.

Well electrocute should be reworked into the ratio s of thunderlords. IMO gimme a window of movement before a talon gets lvl 6 and insta w r q s my ass.

I feel like Hail of Blades is for someone like Shyvana... assuming she just doesn't go straight up Precision. Might have been good on old Irelia and Evelynn (don't even know if Irelia can jungle anymore and Evelynn is now a genuine assassin.)

Hail of blades is really fun on Varus and Vayne too. People underestimate the super quick passive stacks and with Vayne’s tumble the bit of lethality really catches people off guard. Twitch also makes use of it since you can be invis and position yourself well.
