Resolve Tree: The Imperious Behemoth (Patch 8.2 Report)

so i am noticing there is alot of runes that kind of stack with other runes from other pages and i think its important that if you are gonna stack runes that the combination be as effective as possible so before i get into other trees i just want to address the changes to resolves most optimal build path across a diversity of champions in particular the resolve/precision combination which has recently been changed to give some attack speed which is great for pseudo jungling and defensive carries

the changes to aftershock in patch 8.2 were awesome and definitely inspired me to try it on all my fav champs notably poppy who can use any and every advantage she can get to actually be aggressive mostly because she lacks damage in a meta where magic damage is actually stronger for tanks due to gutting the magic resist values across the board i just want to focus on some quality of life improvements through runes for poppy and other types of champions besides tanks who are interested in the resolve tree

1. Aftershock Swapping With Undying Grasp: for characters that have the hard cc to trigger aftershock but are ranged i would turn down the buff duration or increase the range to use more offensively than defensively, tristana has a kind of dumb combo using her ult where she dives in after them with w to try to hit them with aftershock its cute but not necessary and if grasp of the undying was at a 8% max health on hit it would be more optimal and tristana does lack the hard cc so its a healthy swap (and awe)

2. Unflinching stacking with Legend (Tenacity): by having tenacity in the precision tree it gives some incentive to go resolve precision in combination with unflinching but if you look closer at unflinching youll notice that bringing smite gives you access to that additonal 10% tenacity alot more frequently to address this i would suggest dropping the 15% increase on use to increase the percentage per spell down up to 20% that way if flash and smite are down u get the 40% and for the people without smite unflinching gives u an additonal 10% summoner spell cooldown per summoner spell down (great for tp) change legend: tenacity into a flat health stack (10hp per stack for 200 health) this is a great alternative for any champion utilizing the precision tree (legend: devourer)

3. Conditioning and Overgrowth: i thought it would be cute if conditioning had the same perk as slightly magical boots with how it comes sooner with takedowns this is kind of important so that you can be rewarded with extra defenses for playing succesfully with conditioning early on in the game and overgrowth should actually give you 0.4% max health on takedowns in addition to the 0.2% you get from every 8 minions (a tree grows in brooklyn)

4. Overheal and Presence Of Mind: for champions that are against building mana items i think it would be really cute if the mana that you saved applied to your actual mana bar and if overheal increased the amount of healing you receive by a percentage of your max hp then you wouldnt need lifesteal as much and gives precision another great defensive option (resetsune)

5. Font of Life and Second Wind: i feel like font of life should apply to yourself for more functionality with the second wind rune this way you may be able to trigger the armor/magic resist percentage bonuses from iron skin and mirror shell font of life just feels a little weak and it could actually benefit from effective use of slows which every tank has and the numbers should be changed to stack with ardent (glass cannon)

6. Iron Skin and Mirror Shell: why is there even a heal requirement for the bonuses i mean if there really is an issue with the resolve tree these two talents would be an easy way to address that, basically just dividing conditioning between the two makes sense to me 8 armor 5% armor 8 magic resist 5% magic resist (glass house)

7. Demonlish and Biscuit: i think demolish should be in the inspiration tree while there are better uses for the inspiration tree as a secondary and with the buffs to the unflinching and font of life going for biscuit over demolish seems like a better option presence of mind change also. (hungry baby)

this should cover the weak points of the set title without making tanks too overpowered in the current meta and you should see alot more resolve secondaries from these changes in that resolve should be a go to secondary unless there is something really specific for your champion that would cause you to choose additonal offense over defense and utility if you can implement that then i think some more interested choices in the inspiration tree can develop to provide that distinction between offense defense and utility secondaries
