Sorcery Keystone; phase rush and summon aery

Tundra Hunter·Apr 13, 2018·2 votes·1,542 views

I love MS runes and on-hit runes. There is no on-hit rune / keystone, they all have a cool-down... summon aery has a 2 sec cooldown even on melee AA. I think it would be a very nice keystone if you could refresh it on melee AA.

Phase Rush is just weak ... it's like fleet footwork without the heal =( to me it even feels weaker than approach velocity (if you have a perma slow).

Are there any changes intended for these keystone, or new keystone in the future? (4, like in precision)

Aery really isn't intended to be for dps, it's for poke and utility while it just happens to have DoT synergy. They are not going to give a keystone in the sorcery tree, the tree intended for ability usage, a buff focused on auto attacks. If you want an melee keystone that synergizes with onhit, PTA and Conqueror both work. Lethal Tempo is even getting buffed.

But the should buff aery, its poke rune but comet is still better on poke champions like ziggs or syndra

Comet is supposed to be better at poke than aery, it ONLY pokes and it's not a guaranteed hit. Aery can also shield, and has higher value on its shield reflecting this.

Comet's only really good with CC, you may as well think of it as the rune that adds damage to CC.

Oh Jeeze, I never even thought of the Fleet Footwork comparison. How did Phase rush come out of PBE this unbelievably weak and go months without more fixes? :s

Yeah Fleet Footwork vs Phase Rush is kinda stupid honestly. You have to do far more to proc it, it only works ON CHAMPION HITS(unlike a certain busted rune where you can hit a minion and get godlike kiting plus a heal), and gives you much lower move speed early in the game. I guess lasting 2 seconds longer with 10% more movespeed later and slow resistance somehow makes up for it(not really) being much more terrible. Let's not forget it has a 15 second cooldown whereas late game Fleet Footwork will probably be procced at least 3 times in that 15 seconds. But no instead of nerfing fleet footwork to work only on champions we should instead buff Lethal Tempo, because that's totally gonna make people pick it over having insane lane sustain for the early game and insane kiting + healing late game. If they wanted to make Lethal Tempo more of an option they should have lowered the time it takes to proc it after hitting a champion anyways. >_>;
