if you make shield bash an actual rune in this game, at least put it into resolve 3
switch it with unflinching into its spot in resolve 1, so you dont force every single champion without a shield who wants to opt into resolve into demolish but give them the option to chose between unflinching and demolish.
i still think the idea of making runes for specific champions, instead of playstiles is dumb as shit and part of why the rune system is still failing. there are simply not enough runes to accomodate every champion for that kind of approach, which means the rune system like this will always favour specific champions.
but if youre going to remove boneplating, dont make demolish the default choice for every single champion who is not a tank with a shield (which happens to be the majority) who wants to opt into the tree.
because if youre going to go through with that rune, resolve 1 will end up as a choice between
a) a rune that everyone in the game can effectively use b) a rune that 3 champions in the game can effectively use c) a rune that 3 top lane tanks can effectively use
guess which one of these is going to be "overpicked" next
other points of critisizm:
- turret plating giving 160 gold per stack is obviously broken, and will cement demolish even more as a default choice in resolve. probably to the point where the few champions you made shield bash for pick it 100% of the time over shield bash
- there is absolutely no reason to nerf the shit out of overgrowth for every single champion that buys more than into 2500 max health
in my personal opinion though, every single non keystone rune should have been like boneplating, to be able to get picked up by almost every champion in the game, and the only deciding factor should have been your preferred playstile. instead for some reason, youre making a lot of those runes synergize with only a few specific champion kits.
