I hate how the Triumph rune plays out in botlane 2v2 fights.

I think it's frustrating how often Triumph turns very close 2v2 trades in the botlane into clean 2-0 victorys for either team instead of 1-1 or 2-1.

Most of the time the heal that the enemy adc gets makes it impossible to secure the kill after a very close fight. The ADC that secures a kill first is pretty much safe and usually doesn't have to be afraid of the support coming after them anymore. I think it's a fine rune in team fights later on, but in lane it doesn't create fun gameplay in my opinion.

In my opinion this is the single biggest change in the dynamic of botlane fights in the preseason patch and it's not a fun one.

wouldn't be a problem if even half the runes in the game were viable so you'd sacrifice something for triumph

as it stands this just isn't the case, even in niche scenarios

Adc main here, the best 2vs2 are the clown fiestas where the 4 die, and I haven't seen any of this in a while.

I believe that was the intended use for the rune, for it to allow you to survive clutch moments, while it sucks that that can happen, I doubt riot will be making a change just because it affects one lane (Then again, item 1054 happened)

They could have it scale based on level, so starts at 4% scales 0.5% per lvl.

Personnally they should remake triumph, the rune is just too good for his own sake compare to the other rune.

I've gotten a pentakill on LeBlanc thanks to the heal on triumph Now I take it on most mid lane champion, because why not?

Yep, I do agree with OP. I feel I specially benefited a lot from it as I've been duoing with Dravens, Kalistas and Jhin's recently (Inb4 MF and EZ permabanned LUL) and that first kill in the lane snowballs into first turret frequently specially with junglers help to push and take it down. It's doesn't feel fair
