Unpopular Opinion: Dark harvest is strong but doesn't eliminate the need for electrocute.

As the title says, I find that electrocute has more damage early, and dark harvest is better for scaling.

I would 10/10 take electrocute on akali or zed over dark harvest.

I prefer dark harvest on talon because he needs it more than the lane damage and would be better to have dark harvest to scale.

I think dark harvest is hated on because so many people like to play out laning and mid/late game is when people feel most comfortable fighting. Where electrocute is an after thought at that point and dark harvest has scaled.

I truly believe that if the games were much shorter again, then electrocute would be complained about more.

IS Dark Harvest a BIT too strong early? Sure, perhaps, but its can be easily nerfed a smidgen and balanced out. Its not "OMG SO BROKEN".

Thats all, maybe you disagree, maybe I'm wrong, but this is just how I feel based on my own games and champs I've tested both with.

EDIT: Convinced, it certainly is too good on mages. Honestly not sure how to fix this though. I've tried thinking but honestly, im at a loss. When you look at it, they are both extremely similar in a sense.

You attack them. You do extra damage.

That's why its so hard to distinguish them because they just don't have enough diversity in the way they work to warrant taking one over the other sometimes. Rioter response would be pretty nice, maybe SOME current thoughts about how they feel. Nothing too specific, just what direction they intended dark harvest to fit into, as apposed to what they can do to fix it.
