Runes and Masteries Leaked ...... kinda

After reading and navigating through several articles relating to the up and coming rework of Runes and possibly Masteries in Season 8 pre-season.Ive noticed that there are some amazing new ideas that Riot has put forward in order to attract the veteran league of legends player(s)or even fresh newbies to the game such as the berserk Rune which gives:

BESERK 60% attack speed after dealing damage to an enemy with basic attacks Or other Runes such as Perxie??( Meteor (Hurls a mateor at target location after damaging an champion with an ability/ spell)

These ideas are good but I have noticed since the "tank class" had been reworked the tank meta is definitely back I believe. To counteract this by Season 8 preseason bring in a rune for the new rune setup called "David and Goliath" it is like a CoC (Courage of Coloussus Mastery) however it is for those squishy champs such as the Marksman Class and some Assasins in need of some help for instance:

A 3/1 Vayne with 2 items comes across a support (Insert tank) in a bush and is instantly procs Courage of the Collosus on the enemy attacker.Leaving not only Vayne CC'ed but with less health from the damage from the ability but also an increased difficulty against the attacker as they may have just priced a 1-5 man CoC shield. This I believe is the real reason why Masteries in Season 7 such as CoC are the go to mastery for tanks and usually for Marksman/assassins are falling behind and cannot adapt to the "tank meta"

Moving back to the Rune Idea "David and Goliath (Religious or not) is the story of one person Goliath being bigger stronger and mightier ( aka 5k health Garen or 10k health Cho'gath) versus the smaller less mighty and weak David (aka all adc's 2017 or any weak champions who struggle against tanks ). Usually an ADC whether It would be in any of the positions would have 1700-2300 health at level 18 depending on items, Runes, Masteries ,etc. This Rune idea is below

"David and Goliath" Active: When attacking a champion that has with the last 5 seconds CCed you OR with more than 50% more health than your max health increases your damage to the target for up to 2.5/3/4 seconds (Increases level 6,11,16) Damage increase: (% enemy max health) (5%,7.5%,10% If the target has less health than you but hard CC's you allows you to deal increased damage to the Attacker but only For half the time and half the % max health (1.25 / 1.5 / 2 seconds ---- 2.5%, 3.75%, 5% enemy max health )

I know this was very wordy but if you have any suggestions to ways this could be incorporated or could possibly be noticed by a riot employee / developer in charge or developing the Runes/ masteries for next season that would be greatly appreciated I would love too see if this could be implemented into pre Season as I think it would give more value to the boy lane as well as squisher champions in other lanes

What do you think about the idea for a Rune in pre-season or mastery for that matter ?

Do you believe it would sway the meta as in no just for pro play but for all Elos

Not only that but adc with other runes such as BESERK would easily swing meta in favour of ADCs

It's definitely a bit like the gems yes for sure however it's going to give that added survivability against early game champions that are able to stack health or tanks who are generally very tabky after one item Most adcs will not venture for a mortal reminder or lord dominos regards until 4th or 5th item

Giant slayer is only a 1000 gold. If its really such a "problem" against these early health stackers, they can just build that. Or, you know, rush bork like 90% of meta adcs rn. Who is "very tanky" after one item?

With the new changes to Cinderhulk in the jungle plus health bonuses on items such as thorn mail , sunfire cape (buildpaths) buying a

Sunfire cape gives 425 health

Cinderhulk 325 health + 20% bonus health

Black cleaver 400 health

Spirit Visage 450 plus added bonus health regeneration

There's many more but I'm saying rushing these items first on tanks that prioritise these items affects squishy so so much I would love to see an add buy a giant slayer at level 6 and carry a game it just doesn't happen because they will go for damage / critical/ attack speed over damage to an enemy

Bork is irrelevant as it's 8% of the targets current health as damage and is more of an initiating item rather than an item that is necessarily important for all adcs to have crit early on is strong against many champions but tanks are overboard at the moment and need counter play

I would love to see a game where you rush giant slayer and actually win your lane and snowball as a adc /jungle top Wherever and win
