This Runeglaive enchantment kinda ruins JG Karthus

Alright look, I know JG Karthus hasn't been super popular as of recently, but with the new Runeglaive Enchantment, it basically negates any point in playing JG Karthus. The spellblade ability sort of completely makes no sense with his AA (you know, how his AA is Cataclysmally slow) and while the the Mana is nice, the reduced AP kind of offsets that. If riot DOES go through with this, then they need to make a new enchant for the potential JG'ers who are simply more reliant on AP and not the Spellblade ability

Okay let's take a look at this: Kathus has low mana cost, very low CD damaging spell. The Runeglaive does bonus damage and restores mana after every spellcast.

So we have to wait and see how clear speed actually changes, but how do you think Karthus being able to clear the jungle while only using, like, 9 mana per spell "ruin" him?

the problem is, that his AA is RiDONKulously slow, there's no point to use the Spellblade enchantment.

I have played Karthus jungle in diamond-high diamond in the past 2 seasons. And the way that this enchantment is shaping out to be is that, we might as well find a new item to replace the jungling item altogether. You know what you do when you run out of mana as Karthus ? You port back to base. The CDR reduction is irrelevant here, Karthus scales horribly with it anyways. The mana could be an addition to the ever so popular archangels Staff. The spellblade enchant has almost no synergy with him however, since as a decent Karthus player you are supposed to manage your mana properly and the auto-attack is abysmal.
