Really Awkward To Play Tryndamere and Ekko vs Dark Harvest

When the damage was front loaded, I could generally wait till 40% or lower to R. Now, I just get randomly deleted seemingly out of the blue before I can react. I can't guess how long I can fight before having to use R.

I really hate this rune right now. It makes trying to go for outplays so much riskier because damage is so hard to judge now. So much for clarity and not being surprised by burst. This is so much worse. With the old DH, at least I see, "oh, his combo took me to 1/4 so I have another second or two to fight before I need to R out." Now it's just gambling to fight at lower HPs (especially with how popular this rune is) and it makes these champions feel a lot worse imo. I used R on these champions mostly for outplays and now I feel like I have to use it mostly as an oops button when I'm at 40-50% HP still.

Ekko jungle was hit especially hard. The new DH doesn't suit him well in the jungler because he's pretty weak early game and can't get a lot of stacks. It's also just doesn't have the same late game potential as before in terms of raw damage. His win rate in Diamond+ took a big nose dive despite it being played mostly by mains.
