After doing some calculations, I'm disappointed by the rune Celerity

I know the runes are WIP. but it seems like Riot isn't doing much about the rune right now.

Let me show you how weak the rune really is. Our subject for the calculations is full AP Janna.

Janna mid's best build is Morellonomicon, Luden's Echo, Lich Bane, Sorcerer Shoes, Ardent's Censor, and Rabadon's Deathcap.

Adding Sorcerer Shoes movement speed makes Janna's movement speed 365

Janna's kit with Zephyr maxed then adds 57 movement speed to that, making Janna's movement speed 422.

Having Ludens, Lich Bane, and Ardent's movement speed bonus makes Janna's movement speed 526.

Adding all of the items AP together, including Gathering Storm's 60 minute AP of 168, 50 AP from Elixir of Sorcery, and the 22.5 AP from Inspiration + Sorcery makes our AP a total of 945. Zephyr bonus movement speed has an AP ratio of 2% per 100 AP. That would be about 19% bonus movement speed, making Janna's total movement speed now 626.

Including Celerity's bonus movement speed makes Janna's movement speed now 644. This is a pretty good movement speed right? Let's see how much AP we get from Celerity. Subtracting 320 from 644 makes 324, which is our total bonus movement speed. Celerity makes 8% of your bonus movement speed into AP, and that gives us

26 AP

Riot please buff this rune. It's a trap.

Dude the primary thing it gives you is 3% movement speed... The AP or AD is a side benefit.

Exactly. 3% movement speed in comparison to Transcendence and Absolute Focus is not worth it. Movement speed is an extremely powerful stat but it's only a small 3% increase which is nothing...

Most champions have 335 ms, with full boots (excluding mobility boots and swiftness boots) it becomes 380 which means 390 with 3%. That really isn't that great. I think this rune could use a buff to it's conversion to damage.

M8 you are 100% correct on this one. That's pithy

Not sure why a 7 month old thread was revived, but this rune usually picked when going into sorcery just because of how good movespeed is for map movement. The AP/AD bonus isn't why you take it, and if it gave a lot it would be broken.

It is mostly for move speed. But then again Hecarim > summoner 6 > Predator > E > how much?

Taking celerity means the difference between getting stuck in an event horizon or not, sidestepping some ranged cc, getting in and out of a position just quickly enough (like trying to get out of anivia's glacial storm and around her wall for example, it can mean the difference between being able to engage or run away, it can get you around quicker so you'll have overall more cs and kill participation... movement speed is a stat that is impossible to calculate the value of really.
