What if... omnistone granted two random keystones at once?

I feel like the biggest problem with omnistone is that it only has a decent comparative advantage over other keystones if you continually spam all of the keystones, the second you stop, it ends up being worse because it takes 40 seconds to replace which is often worse than stuff like electrocute.

Now, this is crazy, but what if it gave access to two keystones at once? This would give it a significant comparative advantage while still being fairly random. If you got some combo like conqueror and pta/lethal tempo it could be crazy, but of course there would be lackluster combos as well.

Another issue with the whole thing is being forced into the inspiration as primary tree, which, while not that bad, is pretty suboptimal for a lot of champions would might have wanted to use omnistone. This change would further make up for that.

What if...they didn't implement shit ideas for once?

There's a reason preseason drives this game further into the ground every year. They implement every idea that comes out because they enforce 'change for the sake of change' and nobody had a better idea.

I don't know how they don't have better ideas than omnistone. RNG is terrible, crit is already plenty more RNG than a game of "strategy" should need. Omnistone just shouldn't exist, the concept is silly, the RNG is even worse. I wouldn't mind it being in the game, if there were more rune options. But at the moment, you select 1 keystone, and 5 other runes. Back in the day, you had to actually pick a path for your masteries, and while each individual mastery had low impact...overall, your complete options actually had pretty big impact.

Idk whose idea is was when they changed the dragons to be RNG, and it's only worse now. At least years ago, dragons gave gold...so there was a distinct timing to trade dragons for turrets, farm, etc. Now that dragons are randomized, they have random gold values. And with them effecting the map now...that means certain immobile champions have better rotation options...AT RANDOM.
