Ghost Poro: A Call for Equality

Ghost Poro is extremely under powered in the Domination tree. There are other runes that have this issue, but Ghost Poro is clearly the weakest of them all.

Whenever picking between the sets of 3 in the new runes, you are sacrificing the power of the other 2 runes, to obtain one of them. When looking at the section Ghost Poro is in, you get to choose between more team Vision with Zombie Ward, Raw Stats in Eyeball Collection, or unsustainable bush vision...

Now you can obtain bush vision with wards, and the Zombie Ward is much more useful than the Ghost Poro in almost every aspect of vision because the poro is removed when an enemy simply steps into the bush, even if they aren't aware it was there, where as the Zombie Ward cannot be easily predicted to know when it will appear, and can only be removed by an auto attack, yet granting the exact same vision as the ghost poro. You can also have more Zombie wards then one, where the poro only allows you to mark one bush at a time to the best of my understanding.

There may be a few niche uses you can find for the Ghost Poro but the overall vision power of Zombie Ward is much more consistent, and if vision is what you want from that rune slot, you'd be better to choose Zombie Ward over Ghost Poro every time.

The new runes were designed to be used for creative gameplay, but this tier seems to only have 2 choices. Simply put, Ghost Poro is garbage, and I mean no disrespect, but it needs to be fixed.

I think there is a simple solution to make Ghost Poro better. When an enemy champion enters the bush that has a Ghost Poro in it, they are revealed for 20 seconds. You could do the duration by level to make it more balanced with something like an 8 second reveal at level 1, and a 30-40 second reveal at level 18. The marked champion should be revealed even in stealth, which would create some interesting counter play against stealth champs. You could even add some counter play to the poro, by creating a way to remove it after it marks you, like cleanse, qss, or even throwing out a sweeper.

This simple change would actually give the Ghost Poro Rune a unique way to gain vision for your team. Revealing enemy Junglers who walk through your tri bush, or are trying to invade you at red. Marking someone checking the bush near baron to help with snipes and picks. The list goes on and on, but this would give someone a reason to click Ghost Poro besides shits and giggles.

Thanks for reading, and I hope Riot fixes Ghost Poro soon Heptagon
