Rune tree change for Hail of Blades (Suggestion)

I feel like the new rune should fit into the precision tree rather than the domination tree as far as balance is considered.

  1. In domination, the tree gives way too much power on damage as overall output plus the attack speed makes it a default go to path for short trades from start to mid to late game.

  2. Swap conqueror to domination and hail of blades to precision. Conqueror has a niche damage modifiers which sits well with how domination tree pans out for bruisers in top lane. Pushes more trades in and out of lane by giving up on attack speed from the tree.

  3. In precision, you are giving up the adaptive damage in favor of the attack speed which should balance out well in terms of scaling on marksman and fighters as well. It would be a nice alternative to lethal tempo. Players would debate on the option presented. Short trade- go hail of blades, long trades- go lethal tempo (same with domination tree; with short trades- go electrocute, long trades- go conqueror).

I also believe that crit damage should be in general be replaced by how the conqueror works in game. Its very clear and concise in how much damage is being delivered as supposed to rng like Crit. [galio-happy]

Conqueror's a sustained damage rune, and Precision is the sustained damage tree.

Hail of Blades is a burst rune, and Domination is the burst damage tree.
