I bet Riot wants to err on the side of strong with Dark Harvest because of stuff like this

I'm not that kind of player. But I think Dark Harvest might turn me into that kind of player.

They probably want the big plays it enables. The go big or go home all in.

In that situation I had to choose either let my current proc I was holding go and also lose the soul sitting on the ground, or just go all in and kill her. No in between.

10/10 rune tbh. They're not going to nerf it because big LC$ playz

And you know what? That's fine.

Do the souls permanently increase its dmg every time you proc it?

Like Nasus Q, it's a permanently stacking buff, but the proc only refreshes after you pick up a Soul.

You have 300 stacks, your next attack deals extra 300 damage, but no others until you pick up another soul.

It'll be really good on scaling laners and characters with stack mechanics already, like Nasus. Also really good on characters with resets like Kha'Zix.

DH is disgustingly broken on the pbe. ESPECIALLY with all the items getting higher lethality. Zed is going to be permabanned again if these ship.

He only has to auto you twice if he has even a decent amount of stacks. No combo, no ult, if youre a squishy and he has duskblade, two autos. Theres no counterplay except play champs that 100% hard counter zed.

I know a lot of people are mad about the items getting more lethality, but this only benefits champs that didn't use lethality runes. For those that did, this either is breaking even or losing out on lethality.

It's not broken, just snowbally. It favors tanky champs actually. Zed has nothing on divers who can build tanky and bring Dark Harvest. Imagine the same thing you just said about Zed, but it's J4, Vi, or Nocturne.

Also champs who are gated by not having enough damage in their kit and have to use their utility to work around it like Shaco are kind of busted with it, since it gives them the damage that they're usually starved for.

It probably offers too much free damage to tanky champs and I think they should make the soul essence dmg scale adaptively instead of just being free damage.
