If mages were allowed add targeted AOE damage to their spells, that would be be broken right?

Are we really complaining about Runaan's Hurricane right now?

PrimaquariusAug 3, 20189 votes

Except Runaans only works well on 2 champions

MrHaZeYoAug 3, 20181 votes

Ashe Caitlyn Jinx Kalista Kindred Tristana Twitch Xayah

Yep only 2.

saltranAug 3, 20182 votes

Remove Caitlyn and Xayah from that list and I agree.

MrHaZeYoAug 3, 20181 votes

It works fine on both of them lol.

saltranAug 3, 20183 votes

I mean it -works- on any adc like every singe crit item but is not optimal on Cait since they removed the passive interaction, she has 0 reasons to buy it when the other zeal item exists.

buying runnans on xayah is wasted since her passive doesnt work with it to make 3 feathers so you are just getting it on a champ with no synergies with the item when you could be getting any of the other crit items instead

Remove Xayah, Kindred, tristana, Caitlyn, there you got: Ashe, Jinx, twitch left

Im still trying to register the fact my dumbass comment got upvotes

MrHaZeYoAug 3, 20181 votes

While It's not great on Xayah, it's not awful either.

I've seen plenty of Pro Kindreds builds it lol.

it works just fine on both Cait and Trist and allows them to do AoE damage from a mile back, so na I'm not removing it from them.

Its bad on Trist and she has AoE clear built into her autos from her kit already. They removed Runaan's interaction with Cait's passive a long time ago

MrHaZeYoAug 4, 20181 votes

Ya I know that lol, it's still not awful, they both have a good attack range (Trist during the latter Levels) so it still does AoE damage in team fights.

Beside the Shiv waveclear was also nerfed.

Tristana and Kindred sometimes use it.

Kindred, it depends on the build path you're going, but if you're going crit on them you usually pick up a Runaan's.

Tristana, I don't see it much anymore, but it's perfectly viable.

Kindred gets it. Tristana hasn't in patches which, honestly, is a bummer. I liked it a lot on her but it just cant compete with shiv/rfc... honestly, they could have changed shiv/rfc back to the way it used to be(the two items having no synergy at all) and things would have been fine with ADCs... as it stands, I wish they'd make zeal items have synergies with each other that would encourage build diversity. Instead of RFC/Shiv just always being the right choice...

item 3285

You are the best example of the Boards mage player, congratulations.

Dr DogAug 3, 20184 votes

it would be a great argument if yknow, runaans was even slightly a problematic item in any form

RexxieeAug 3, 20184 votes

You know whats the funny thing?

Mages are one of the strongest classes in the game now and adcs are one of the weakest, and we still see garbage like this by silver mage players.

ZephyrDrakeAug 3, 20182 votes

Yeah, it would be broken since most mage skills also come with some form of CC and/or higher range. Also a lot of mage abilities are already AoE. Mage's skills cannot be compared to auto attacks. You will get the same result from autos regardless of who is using it... mage abilities? Not so much

BavalAug 3, 20182 votes

What do you mean, we are item 3285

Its just were only allowed to do it every once in a while and we dont get lifesteal and it doesnt proc on hits

DuskDaUmbreonAug 3, 20182 votes

Because nearly every single mage has AoE as it is - Adding AoE to AoE would just be doombots levels of absurd.

Crimson ZeppelinAug 3, 20181 votes

Why kog and kayle are not on that list...

PeritheusAug 4, 20181 votes

Makes me miss old item 3087 item 3031 basically 1 shotting the wave, 1 IE 50%crit dmg is replaced for true dmg against champs only, and 2 none of the zeal items were compensated for the loss of dmg against epic monsters, jg camps, minions, but nerfed instead etc. 3. that item is just used to wave clear faster and apply most onhit effects 2 more times per auto in front of them,4 it doesn't apply item 3124 twice neither to the sub targets.

yes because mages will do it from 800+ range and also win the stat game against their opponent and also have CC on many of those abilities, wheres ADCs do it from 550- range while losing the stat game against their opponents.

Furthermore, mages do have targeted AOE added to their spells. See luden's echo.
