Defensive runes need to be looked at!

I must say... I have not particularly been enjoying this preseason... And after taking a good look at everything that's been getting to me, it basically comes down to the imbalance of offence and defence in the new rune system. More then one community Youtuber has mentioned that everyone is building full damage in the preseason; that's because the defencive runes are way too weak!

There's only one real defensive tree, and it's pretty underwhelming compared to the offensive ones. The crazy extra damage that say, Press the Attack, Summon Arie, and Electrocute can do pretty much negates any resolve bonuses; And that's just the big ones! Sudden Impact lets a lot of champs deal almost true damage in the early game, and Triumph makes doing so safer then it should be.

The resolve tree needs mad buffs! Or better yet, a new tree with some more defensive options. I've never felt so weak playing my beloved Poppy ...

The Resolve tree is terrifying.

Like really, truly SCARY. Aftershock is a monster of a keystone.

I don't know what direction they're going to go with the balances moving forward, but you should probably banish any hope of buffs to Resolve out of your mind.

The resolve tree is actually fine on champions like tanks.

It sucks for fighters.

Maokai and Rammus are still building full tank and still doing tons of damage thanks to Aftershock. Thing is, there really aren't tanks right now given that the best keystones primarily give damage.
