It's been 561 days since the removal of Deathfire Touch and I miss it

I don't like that they just removed it and made it a Mini Rune with a 10 Second Cooldown.

Some Champions just don't feel the same ever since it's removal ...

Malzahar Cassiopeia Singed (a few examples)

Just Make Scorch a proper Rune in a form of Deathfire Touch and place something else in its current Mini Rune place. I even made a visual example of what it would look like if it was a proper Rune...

Makes me very happy tbh. Utter cancer to play against. Scorch is much more healthy if you were to ask me.

In place of DFT, we now have summon Aery. Its a better version of dft. Atleast if you ask me. Malz, Cass and Singed work fine now and still are cancer to deal with. Especially Malz.

But they have to use a Rune that only gives them half of its overall power because they aren't going to be shielding/healing any of their allies.

Additionally I don't see how it was "Utter cancer to play against" considering how low the damage was that it offered, the only reason it was good is because it helped in situations where enemies would usually get away with low hp and this keystone helped with this.

Alternative forum post: It's been 561 days since the removal of Deathfire Touch, fuck you Malzahar I never want to see you in my game again.

Do you mind being introduced to electrocute Malzahar? After you get hit with Malefic visions, if he lands a Q the refresh of visions will count as a 3rd hit for Electrocute.

Was Liandry's Torment as a keystone basically.

It was kinda fun to take on pre-update Cho'Gath. Your E could stick it on your enemy laner for nearly 100% uptime and just gradually burn them out of lane if you had the mana for it.

It’s removal single handedly killed lane kayn. So I’d love to have it back.

Or, they could make a tankbusting rune for spellcasters like the old DFG,

But why? Mages already shut down tanks easily because of these items...

item 3151 item 3135

What Mages want is a constant damaging Rune (even if the damage would be the worst in the game), essentially Deathfire Touch. I don't want to have Poking Runes like Arcane Comet and Aery (which is an Enchanter Rune) showed in my face just because I am playing a Mage.
