5.14 Runeglaive and Another Small Rant
Why would I just not buy a Lichbane and completely forgo a jungle item?
This is what I thought upon reading the Runeglaive update. I understand that Riot wants the jungle items to be used primarily in the jungle, and by changing Runeglaive's aoe damage to only affect jungle camps they have made it so this jungle item stays in the jungle. However, the problem is that outside of the jungle it is completely useless compared to Lichbane.
The large majority of Ap junglers have very fast clear times after a few levels. So they really don't need Runeglaive for clear speed. This means that other than the mana regen that Runeglaive gives (depending on your item build you might now even need that) Ap jungler's are just getting a worse version of Lichbane. So what's the point of even getting Runeglaive?
From the Patch Notes: "On the topic of the changes themselves: while this certainly reduces Runeglaive's PvP combat power..." You mean completely removed it?
