Anti Attack Speed Rune

Really wish we could have one. AS champs that can abuse conquerors are absolutely monsters. It would even help against champs like irelia. Or champs like vayne, Kai, etc who abuse rageblade to no end. It just feels like the few options that exist actually blow and other defensive poor scaling runes seem to be of little help, especially with the current level of true damage. Some kind of rune that slowed enemy AS by like 10%, or if it simply reduced Auto damage by a certain percentage like ninja tabi, I dunno. Just throwing it out there to be considered and fine tunes by people more knowledgeable than me.

There are currently no runes that apply debuffs to enemies.

The closest I can think of is Press the Attack that increases damage allies deal to a single target. It is a subtle difference, but important to keep in mind.

I'm not saying that there COULDN'T / SHOULDN'T be a debuff rune, but what you are asking for would definitely be a debuff because you are lowering their stats.

I am saying this because it seems to me that Riot is avoiding this kind of rune for some reason.

So, just build item 3082 ?

Only if MasterYi 's R stops making him immune to attack speed reductions. %health true damage autos are bad enough on Vayne, but at least she can have her attack speed slowed as a counter

It would be interesting to add it as a niche pick to counter specific champions. That being said, I'm against the detachment of Attack Speed and Movement Speed slow immunity (eg. Master Yi).

Yes attack speed slows do exist....

But does any immobile midlane mage have them?

I think the best counter to all this damage in runes is to rework some of the Resolve Runes to have effects that counter some of the dominant strategies. This is a trade off- You don’t get as much explosive power from the damage in prescision or domination, but you get a nice defensive buff to counter that. Having an attack speed slow would be awesome.

First we need to detach attack speed slows from being affected by movement speed slow removals.

It's called unique passive cold steel

Powerful AS slows already exist in champion kits and should never be in runes/items.

Nasus, Fiora, Malphite have some of the strongest AS slows in the game.

At the most buff Frozen Heart / Thornmail / Randuin's AS slow to 20% and slap +50 - 100g extra on the price to not break cost efficiency.

Because if I'm being honest, I'm tired of having almost no way to fight a Jax even early and mid game just because of conquerors and his counterstrike. And he's far from the only issue.

You're right, they definitely have more knowledge and experience at their fingertips, I just think it's more a matter of player frustration at the direction of the game. Either way I agree it's good not to be hurt if ideas aren't adopted, rather I think it would just be nice to open the discussion further and contribute ideas.
