Runeglaive is so OP that Gangplank is now being played on the pro level. Add to it there is now the Runeglaive Oriana build.

Time for Riot to disable Runeglaive and fix it.

And this is why Junglers cant have nice things.

It's not even a jungler nice thing! I think right now there are more Laners that want Runeglaive than Junglers!

Someone said they're only going to have the AOE apply against monsters and not lane minions/players. Of course they might change their mind again.

In short damage is no longer converted to magic and aoe only applies to monsters.

Sweet. Let's hope they don't revert it.

Runeglaive isn't broken in the sense that it's OP, it's broken in the sense that it isn't being used the way it was intended. Riot makes this shiny new jungle enchant... which doesn't get used in jungle, but instead makes lanesmite more popular. Sated Devourer on the other hand, is straight up free-win on any champ that uses it.

Nah Warwick is still absolute shit.

Rework pls.

Bouncemaster Zac2 votes

Ok, maybe not every champ. But Kayle Shyvana and Udyr really need to tone it down.

Ever seen sated Jax? He won't take damage from Sated Udyr or Shyvana because they will be dead before his counter strike wears off.

Every time I see a Warwick build Sated Devourer it makes me want to cry. Long and hard. Out of all champions he gets the least benefit from it on an auto attack perspective because his passive only stacks 3 times before it caps. That and Infinite Duress does not apply it (Thank GOD for that one) even though it applies on-hit effects.

The only use he gets out of it is if his Blood Scent procs and he can chase somebody down with auto attacks and maybe a Frozen Mallet since outside of his ulti he has no form of crowd control at all. I'm not even that good at League after these five years and even -I- know that Sated Warwick is stupid.

But not as stupid as how every time I see Phreak on stream I think of Mr. Clean's son, for some reason.

His winrate went up 2% with the item so it clearly makes some difference.

item 3931 is a decent choice for Warwick if he wants more damage but item 3709 tends to be the better choice overall. If Warwick goes the item 3931 route he has the potential to be very potent close range late game while still being pretty tanky. He is pretty outclassed right now but he has unique tools others lack and he is easy to play mechanically. He has as very steady winrate of 50% or higher between Bronze and Daimond Tier while being inconsistently 50% in Masters/Challengers but a low popularity. He has a very binary kit that is either OP or meh so he is in need of a rework but too bad it was cancelled when Riot made a team just for reworks so ZenontheStoic couldn't work on it anymore.

I'm not doubting the power of item 3931 on Warwick; My point was that he gets less benefit out of it compared to other auto attack focused characters like Shyvana MasterYi Aatrox Udyr XinZhao Irelia Jax because of the interaction between it and the rest of his kit. Each of the other champions I listed get some benefit from it to include having their third attack proc on every second auto attack or applying on-hit effects already in their kit twice on every second auto

Wait, did someone use GP with Runeglaive in the LCS recently?

Please do explain.

i really don´t think RG Ori is broken...but there´s no denying it really doesn´t work out as a jungle item.

Earl Eulrich1 votes

maybe they should consider making runeglaive a non-jungle item and have it upgrade into lichbane. I mean obviously it´s a huge success for laners so far

Ok,so my I ask how to "fix" it?I mean there have to be more to this thread than just "Blank is broken OP!Fix it Riot",right?

Jungle Lux God1 votes

The problem we've had with the AP jungle items is that they either didn't promote diversity in the jungle or that it was abusable on laners.

Magus had the former problem and Runeglaive has the latter problem.

We need a new AP jungle item that does both.

Agreed.
