"Why?" is the question that I am asking. And its been too long since Zed was released.

Please no. I'll probably wind up having to spend 10,000 IP on energy runes if they do...

Ha! But do you REALLY go energy runes? Even on Akali and Zed (where magic pen/AP and lethality/AD runes are much more powerful) The only exception I think is Shen; though he often goes health and armor runes.

I don't actually have any ninjas, mainly because I don't want to wind up with the fixed energy limit, or having to buy runes. I'm not sure who they would be worth it on, but I assume almost no one would, as almost no one wants to dump 820 a rune into a super niche rune type.

NO ONE uses energy runes on ANY of those champs. You do realize that, right? Akali and Kennen- standard AP runes; magic pen reds, AP quints, magic res blues, armor yellows. Shen- movespeed/armor quints, AD reds, scaling/norm armor or health yellows, magic res/cdr blues. Zed- AD reds, lethality/precision quints (or reds), armor yellows, magic res blues. Lee- AD reds, AS quints, magic res blues, Armor yellows

There are alot more recent champs that use fury or something like that. Kled Gnar RekSai Yasuo Zac Aatrox I guess they often want to use that bar in a more meaningful way, rather than just energy if that champ wouldn't work well with energy.

Kled only uses courage when dismounting Skaarl. Gnar uses rage to transform. Rek'Sai uses fury to empower/heal. Yasuo's Flow only interacts with his passive and R (slightly) Zac uses health (4% of current health; 4% of max health recovered when picking up blob) Aatrox uses health (10% current health on Q, scaling fixed health on W, 5% of current health on E) So, only Rek'Sai actually uses fury out of all 6 you listed (Sorry if this sounds sassy, I just couldn't) .... and nice idea! I bet they do want to use energy bar in a more meaningful way, not just a 200 fixed mana with 10/sec regen rate.

there probably are some in the works.

knowing riot, they're probably fleshing out a place for them in the lore but are unable to implement a creative way to introduce them

Hmmm.... I bet they are trying desperately to brush up the Ionia lore (since all energy champs are Ionian, with the exception of Kennen)

(I'm designing a ninja champ that uses energy, and mine is a Void/Ionian, if that makes sense)
