It's getting buffed.
And it's happening exactly the way everybody said it needed to:
Spellblade base AD damage from 75% -> 100% (so it's no longer a damage drop from Sheen)
AP from 40 -> 50 (because are you kidding??? 40 AP??)
Personally I think after this it'll be in a perfect place, a lot better than it is currently. What do you guys think?
Its getting a base damage buff? Good. Because you NEED to keep these items,they need to compete with other items of the same type. Punishing junglers for forcing us to buy special smite is never a good idea.
Its in the right direction. Not quite enough yet.
it'll still be garbage. lol
Runeglaive seems really good for spammy junglers with mana issues like Udyr (which I've had a lot of fun building AP bruiser with). I don't play high-AP junglers very much, so I don't know who else would consider going in the jungle, but it really doesn't seem as bad as people are making it out to be. It's more interesting than Magus was at least.
I was considering Kayle jungle too, but she loses so much health early on I can't find a way to stay on par with my teammates when I play her because her first clear is so terrible.
What about Evelynn, Elise, Karthus, Malzahar, Fizz and Teemo? All of these champions are very fast casters and have some ganking potential (though I imagine Karthus would just use his ultimate to replace ganks and farm otherwise for safety). Do they not have the sustain or tankiness necessary to jungle? That's the biggest potential issue I see.
Now how are they going to nerf the abuse case that is AP EZ?
