RESOLVE rune tree - is underpowered and limited!!
I play tanks top and I always take resolve rune tree, either main or secondary. I really don't like that you barely have anything to choose from, it's super limited for top tanks, and most of the runes are bad.
The "second wind rune" is so under powered that "taste of blood" in domination tree heals for almost the same amount...and I don't have any ad or ap. Overgrowth is just terrible. I get approx 200 hp from it at the end of the game. Doesn't help me one bit in lane! And the worst thing is that's the only rune you can pick in the 4th group...maybe you can pick revitalize, it helps a tiny tiny bit more in lane (in some cases), but still both are terrible runes for a tank.
The second group you can only pick: demolish, font of life, bone plating....They all suck for tanks!! I like taking font of life to help team out, but still it doesn't help me in lane, and also it's still under powered!! If I have 3k hp it heals allies for 35 hp...barely anything, no help in lane and late game it's absolutely nothing. I don't take bone plating because it never helps me. I try not to let the enemy get to me, I just get hit once and bone plating is on cd already. Demolish is pretty useless, towers fall down fast enough (with your team) without it and in laning phase you'll never use it.
And it's main keystones are actually pretty limited. As a tank in top you are pretty much left with only grasp (if you pick resolve main)....which most games I don't even take, I need to keep a distance with most champions and barely ever auto. So to not waste a keystone I take guardian or aftershock, or some other rune tree that's not meant for tanks, instead.
---> Resolve tree needs buffs and new runes.
These need a buff:
- Font of life
- second wind
- conditioning
- overgrowth
2nd and 4th group would want some new rune, and also need a new main keystone.
If tanks where able to take both second wind and conditioning...that would help.
