Professor Ward·Nov 12, 2017·52 votes·1,339 views

Again im noticing inconsistency errors within the rune page text. Coming from one of the more successful companies to ever grace this earth, this is unacceptable.

max health/total health- is there a difference?

Attack/basic attack - is there a difference?

Multiple reported misspellings

etc etc etc.

Not trying to flame, but lets be clear here, these are things that probably wouldnt have passed by an undergrad group assignment done on a sunday night.... So lets step our game up huh?

Agreed.

Not to mention the Resolve tree Iron Skin and Mirror Shell both say "Heals, including consumables, increase your..." when the thing is literally, "your consumables increase your...". If you "Show detailed" the description completely changes meaning, and that's so dumb.

So like Vlad Q gets no benefit from these runes despite their base description implying that any heal or consumable grants this bonus.

My Mirror Shell says:

Heal effects from consumables, heals for at least 20 health and shields increase your Magic Resist by 5% for 3s.

Iron Skin says the exact same thing for armor.

I assume Vlad Q, if it heals for at least 20 health, would get the benefit from those two runes.

What, it doesn't work like that? I was running that rune all the time with Dr. Mundo, since I thought that every hitting cleaver will give me the armor (you heal 25 health for a hitting cleaver).

I am confused, do I get the armor or not? [sg-soraka]

Time to look at the stat while hitting a cleaver up someone's butt.

Watched my replays today and can confirm: My armor did increase every time I was hitting something with a cleaver. So it should work with other heals like Vlad's Q as well.

Thank you for taking the time to test it and report back to us! :) It's appreciated.

the comma is what throws you off, its worded correctly, but extremely hard to understand without hard pausing for the comma.

All of the new rune process is horribly written and grossly un intuitive. :(

Can confirm, the wiki does a better job of standardizing the nomenclature than Riot's own official tooltips, which isn't good. As with many of the game's systems, terms like "max/total health", "attack/basic attack" should follow a standard, and whoever writes those tooltips should probably write a cheat sheet of which terms to use. It would also likely help to edit typos without having to wait for a major patch or another hotfix, if at all possible.

Kind of? The terms are used differently I do believe.

No, currently they mean the exact same thing,

There is a difference however between "bonus" and "max" heath.

But total health, and max health are two ways to say the same thing.

I don’t think I’d claim to be available for proofreading text if I didn’t display capability of using consistent, proper punctuation myself, lol.

Does ever riot employee read this thread?

Also, please show exact numbers for runes in game. I want to actually know how much attack speed I am getting at level 9 with Lethal Tempo.

If every instance uses different wording then nothing has to be consistent because any ~~bugs~~ differences in gameplay are by design.
