Dark Harvest should not change.

Unpopular opinion, I know. But it's bringing champions like Caitlyn out of the dark again.

I do like its identity as a poke rune. It finally seems like the rune that all of the Deathfire Touch users can get behind.

I think that the problem is that it has a generous cooldown alongside an equally-generous reward for proccing it. It's currently just a different flavor of Electrocute in its execution on live. They need to reverse the CD of these runes. Electrocute should have the longer cooldown while Dark Harvest has a shorter cooldown and less damage. That way it works even better for the poke champions it's aimed for while not acting as the best-in-class rune for every damage dealer.

I see it as a rune which is basically "Majai's Electrocute."

If you're not procing it it's useless. If you proc it it's a little more oomph to your last hits overall. If you're in the lead and killing people by the second, THEN its true power comes out.

I say lessen the stack increase but double the amount given if it kills someone. And change the CD from 45 to 60 seconds.

That's a fantastic way of putting it; I'm going to steal that. I would actually lower the cooldown to 30 seconds, half the stack rate, give quadruple (so double what's live) stacks on kill (/assist?), and call it good. It is now the go-to rune for poke champions or lane bullies (Draaaaaven) while not acting as a strictly-better Electrocute for Junglers.

Is it time to talk about Arcane Comet and how, in lieu of Dark Harvest, it should probably be changed?

Arcane Comet used to be my go to rune for ( Don't laugh... ) Jinx mid. It's a pure slab of damage which still hits decently without a good source of adaptive power.

I think it should be able to fire off more, but have less of a scaling so it's just a poke and not that sassy last hit we keep getting killed with. [sg-miss-fortune]

That reminds me, I personally think the base shield power and scaling for Aery should go up a little more and lower the scaling of it's offensive power so people ~~Leblanc and Brand~~ stop using it as offensive.
