New rune idea for heavy skillshot matchups

i cant move wtf·Apr 10, 2018·2 votes·954 views

Was thinking it would be fun if there was a rune that rewarded you for dodging skillshots. So, if a skillshot was detected in your immediately vicinity but didn't hit you, this rune would proc and give you some kind of short duration steroid (maybe of movespeed, damage, range or attack speed).

It might make going into things like Ezreal, Blitz, Karma or Zyra more fun for players that like to play aggressive. At the moment these heavy skillshot/poke lanes usually feel like there's not much choice but to play passive early. But this could provide a nice aggressive gambit opportunity for confident players.

What do you think?

Not bothering to think about the others too much but, if Blitz misses his grab, it's really easy to punish him for it already, and often times Ezreal want to hit minions with his q at least so then would that count as a "missed" skillshot if it hits minions? It's similar for Karma, too.

For the Ezreal example, I think the q would have to miss perpendicularly to your champion's character model to be considered a dodge. If the q just hit a minion directly in front of you I don't think that should qualify.

IDK, sometimes people just miss.

And then theres zoning skillshots too...

Not sure if it would be good to reward buff a player that wasn't actually an intended target, or was just standing close to a wave when lux wanted to E or Q it. Nice little concept or idea though, just doesnt quite work
