Maybe you would have won the game if your team's keystones weren't complete garbage? Yeah Dark Harvest is too strong right now, but c'mon, Conqueror on Twitch? Comet on Morgana when both Aery and DH exist?

To be fair, I won a lot of games using comet on Morgana (before switching to Aery.)

There is a difference between picking weak runes and straight up picking useless runes like Conqueror on an ADC (except Draven).

I´d asume you didn´t play Morgana before. She doesn´t have a single spell below 10sec cooldown why would you use aery on her? q+w combo are perfect to reduce comet cooldown by a decent amount as well. DH is viable but you miss a lot of good runes in sorcery tree for her.

You can W poke with Aery, if you try to poke with W comet it will miss because Comet relies on CC to hit. Initial damage of R will also proc and miss Comet.

Also you can proc Aery with AAs, which is what you should be doing a lot with a support that get's Spellthiefs.

Still it´s wasted potential your w poke is very weak even with aery and her aa range is one the lowest of all mages. That´s not the reason you want to play Morgana. Her strength is poke with binding or all in with ultimate and comet is far superior there.

Also it´s more difficult but not impossible to hit comet with w or ultimate. You need timing but if you know when and how to hit enemies with comet is more rewarding.

The only time I´d pick aery over comet is when I´m support and the enemy team is magic damage and cc heavy.

Dark Harvest is annoying as everyone take it and mass spam dark harvest proc on the same target , specially on bot lane 4 man gank..

Thing that annoys me is people that bring it into draft if they aren't jungling.

It's like, okay we get it, it's busted, go abuse that stuff in ranked and stop stinking up normals with it.

the only thing that bothers me queueing up for normals is when I'm like "ah, alright not the lane I wanted, that's cool I've been meaning to try playing this ch- what's that? mastery 14 riven against me? well this loading screen is the most fun i'll have this game"

too hard to know what i'm coming into, the god mains or the goofs. normally theres one or two on each side, but lately i've been seeing just mind blowing hardcore one sided games

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't a reason they changed DH was to make it more friendly to laners?

There's friendly to laners and there was the poor balance state of DH where it was proccing off items, it's fixed now though.

People keep trying to talk about Dark harvest not synergyzing with champions kits and I just don't get it. First of all, it doesn't have any synergy problems, literally anything can proc it. And second, they completely miss the point: If you proc it twice on the same person, it's damn near impossible to fail to kill them. Spreading it out like this guarantees getting the double proc in any fight, enabling every champion to get the reset and snowball out of control. Both botlanners should almost always have it, mid and top should consider it if the jungler has it.

Slythrin Umbreon4 votes

if anything, maybe consider having it have a cooldown/per champion it's been procd on.

It's not just DH, its the condition it was released in. Well, here's a hotfix...and here's a nerf planned....but what does it say about the gameplay team to have released it in this condition in the first place? To me is says they're out of touch, and have no idea what they're doing. Lets just remove all outplay potential in league and reduce health bars by half.

He may be good, but not in that team comp with no real tank and only a Morgana to protect 3 carries.

DH just amplified how bad your team comp was.

What don't prove us that you just played very badly and that a rune made for snowballing actually snowballed and made the winning team get even more ahead and win the game?

DH is too strong but come on. It is like me showing a game with camilly, leblanc and like lucian in front of me, showing that I lost and said "WOW LOOK, SUCH A PROOF THEY ARE BROKEN" when I actually played like shit...

Here's my opinion on the new Dark Harvest: Let it be a nub trap.

Dark Harvest isn't actually that strong in its new incarnation, except on very few scaling champions, like Veigar, or supports who abuse their "Existence" takedowns to reset it, and also have a pretty strong single target poke, like Sona.

In most cases, it's doing less than other viable runes on the same champions, but people are picking it anyways.

Compare a Sorcery based Lissandra to a DH based Lissandra. There's no comparison: the Sorcery build is better. DH just doesn't proc on her kit enough to be viable, and her assassinations are almost entirely tied to her ult cooldown.

You can stack it fairly easily, but even at 20 stacks, it's worse in most cases than Electrocute, and the conditions to proc DH are far less effective than "can proc at any HP level" Electrocute.

There are far more champ kits that abuse "Missing HP" damage than "Max HP damage" and Electrocute caters to them far more, because it helps them get there.

The only frequently used kit that I can think of that actually caters more to DH than Electrocute is Evelynn , because her E can do up to about 90% HP Max HP damage, which makes DH really easy to use. But....... if she does that much already, why does she need DH?

Man, try dark harvest on Zyra and see how broken it is.

I get 25+ stacks in most games and i can sit back and watch my plants proc it after each reset and get stacks and kills. Not to mention how broken it is for Karthus as well

At 20 stacks you get comparable damage to electrocute and more. Anything beyond that number is stronger than electrocute and has the possibility to trigger way more times cause of the cooldown reset

I've tried both. Electrocute works better.

I jungle.... top..... support Zyra.

Although the damage is fine, it doesn't actually do anything Electrocute doesn't, and Zyra doesn't always get her resets, because her CC is short, her skills are delayed.

In this case, my problem is the early game Zyra uses to snowball. Electrocute snowballs her. DH doesn't. Late game they're generally both fine. Early game, Electrocute wins.

Jungle zyra is ok. After lvl 3 you have very fast clears but you can get counter jungled very easily so i wouldnt recommend that for more serious games.

I ran electro on zyra the whole S8 so i know it's good but believe me, DH is miles better for zyra.

I play Jungle Zyra at Diamond II (not my forum account)

I'll agree to disagree on DH vs Electrocute.

Why Zyra works in high ranks: You don't have to commit to a fight, or a camp. Your seedlings can do the last bit per camp for you. You can even farm over a wall, without any reprisal, unless you run out of plants, which will result in a reset. If someone invades you, like with ANY jungle invade, you CC and get out.

Zyra doesn't need pots to start a game in jungle either, which is why I start with 2 item 2055 . I know when I'm going to get invaded because I have 2 if not 3 Vision points (Control ward, Stealth Ward, and a Poro potentially), and even have a replacement for one if one gets destroyed!

DH has been sensationalized in lower elo, it simply is not as effective as people want to believe. Less damage then electrocute until ~20min unless you are feeding stacks, in which case you are losing anyways. Its a "Win more" rune in my opinion and because of that people feel like they can blame it because they are losing in a situation where they would have lost to elec as well shrug Is it too strong, especially on already powerful champs? Yes, is it why you lost that specific game? Certainly not.

Especially in its current form. On release DH was to strong, but its in a good place now.

Everyone complaining about "MULTIPLE PROCS ON ONE PERSON" doesnt understand how the keystone functions.
