What is the point of the Inspiration runes?

OniZetsu666··2 votes·4,286 views

As soon as they were opened to me I was excited and looking at them...I don't see any point in taking them. All of the other runes seem to be better and these ones feel very odd. Is there something I am missing? Any reason why I should consider taking them?

its just that glac. augment sucks ass because its so inconsistent and all spell book gives is cdr and change sums, which too be honest isnt very good considering 90% of runes give damage.

Spellbook is actually very decent just because of the 25% cdr, it's just the rest of the tree that I don't really find impressive. With the inspiration tree plus ionian boots you can get 40% summoner spell cdr which is huge on flash/tp reliant champs.

change sums is meh. but for a jungler, cdr on smite is awesome

Bookmark this page until LCS split starts and Faker uses Spellbook. Then link it to the inevitable flood of posts stating how OP Inspiration is and that it needs to be nerfed ASAP.

So your saying that I am not just being a noob and these are completely useless?

No, I'm saying that just like the noobs that take Cheap Shot over Sudden Impact most people can't see the value of anything that doesn't explicitly state: PRESS BUTTON X AND DO Y DAMAGE.

A little but a free stop watch never hurt anyone. I actually kinda enjoy the inspiration runes, my favorites being hexflash(awesome when you get a kill with it) and futures market(i like the idea of getting stuff early). I also enjoy unsealed spell book and the idea of an interactive keystone. But i mean if thats not really your thing do something different. No ones forcing you to go inspiration. It just doesn't directly affect combat like most other runes.

Hmm tell you what I will use this in my major rune set that I have for mana and I will use hexflash and futures market as a secondary set and I will tell you my thoughts.

Okay so futures market is useful so far however hexflash hasnt really done much for me..I will keep going and see how I do.

Well that was your anivia game right? Hexflash is better on someone who can flash aggressively and i dont think anivia can do that as well as other users of the rune. Your probably better off getting the stopwatch rune on her.

I use the debt one as a secondary rune when I jung. if you fall behind you can at least keep up on one of your backs, or if you get ahead you can get a little further ahead. then use the 5% cdr on the stuffs
