Since SpellVamp is basically removed from the game, are these runes likely to be removed too. I like them into some matchups/situations but would rather not waste time with strategies which won't be viable in a few patches. Does Riot have any plans for these runes?
ModWulf Helhammer4 votesONLY!
ITEMS!

DeathBurst1 votesThank you!
To add some details: Morgana still has Spell Vamp on her passive. Lee Sin too on his W. There are also the Vampirism masteries. There is plenty of Spell Vamp in the game still, not only the Runes mentioned in OP.
It's only spell vamp items that were removed. JUST items.
PDE5 Inhib1 votesLee Sin has spell vamp? Holy hell why? Is there anything that champ doesn't have?
DeathBurst1 votesThis is obviously a troll, but ok, I'll bite.
LeeSin's W2 gives him bonus LifeSteal and Spell Vamp for 4 seconds. That's the only effect of his W2. And as for something that LeeSin doesn't have: a Silence, for instance. See, that was easy.
PDE5 Inhib1 votesI mean, you can't do anything if Lee Sin ults you, so it's basically a silence.
IcyPepper1 votesI thought that was a stun.
PDE5 Inhib1 votesIt is! Which is better than a silence lol.
IcyPepper1 votesI think the Lee Sin hate has died down lately.
Yeah, he has seven spells. Yeah, he uses energy. Yeah, he's got an assload stuffed in his kit.
But nowadays, that's normal. Being overloaded is normal. Lee Sin is hardly the worst, overloaded, or overpowered champion in the game ;~;

Ugh, not again. Not more! D:
Critmaster Garen1 votesspellvamp isnt technically removed as a mechanic. its really just wota thats been removed.
gunblade still has it, deaths dance has it, and champions still have in in their passives (akali, morgana).
LaughingStapler1 votesGunblade's not really SV. It's total healing from all damage. SV is something very specific.

if you want to be technical about it, its spellvamp + lifesteal on gunblade. similar to deaths dance. (only that deaths dance doesnt trigger on magic damage dealing spells).
what changed about gunblade was only the tooltip really. the mechanic is still the same. spellvamp always worked on physical and magic damage dealing spells. even on summoner spells like smite.

It's even more. It heals on true damage. It's not really proof that Riot isn't intending to get rid of SV runes.

spellvamp healed on true damage before. it worked with darius ult and smite.
like the only difference i can imagine is if it now heals off the damage from on hit effects.
Bobloser35551 votesI think Lifesteal does not apply on true damage?
Excalibait1 votesI'm certain I heard Riot calling it "Omnivamp" somewhere. I feel it's actually a very on point name, as it heals you for a % of anything you do.

well, anything you do is either spell damage (including summoner spells) or auto attack damage.
so 15% lifesteal and 15% spellvamp would practically be the same as 15% "omnivamp"
xBushx1 votesPlease take the time to read things like patch notes....another great site surrender@20 just google search that and you have all the notes and info from the PBE and gives you future insight on changes to EVERYTHING.
Thanks...PSA really!
DorkunedAuras1 votesWhere did riot state they want to get rid of Spell vamp? They removed WotA, that doesn't mean Spell vamp is gone. People have been forgetting about the unchanged ( in that respect) Gunblade. They have stated nothing about SV runes, and I don't believe they're going anywhere.
