Crazy idea, but what if we removed Triumph

Imo this rune is one of the worst offenders for making dumb risky players overly rewarding, and a huge contributor to games snowballing out of control early. I can't count how times I've seen a slightly fed champion just barely win a 1v2 or survive a poorly executed dive because of Triumph.

It also overshadows the other two runes in the vast majority of champions, with Presence of Mind only being used on a small handful of champions and Overheal only being occasionally used on ADCs (with Triumph still being taken twice as often). It would be nice to replace it with something more in line with the other two runes.

No.

If two people dive a squishy champion, most of the time the only way for him to outplay is to rely on it. It actually brings variety and gives you a chance to outplay compared to normal 100% death.

The only squishy champions who take Triumph are ADCs and Katarina, and if someone wants to dive them 2v1, they're just flat out going to die without killing anything, so Triumph does nothing. Unless maybe we're talking about some low quality Gold games, which I'm not an expert in.

This rune primarily helps champions win poorly or completely un-calculated fights where they would normally trade kills, but end up surviving because their killing blow lands a fraction of a second before the opponent's.
