Adaptive stat into selectable stat
So i like the recent changes on the rune (Talking about the old combination stat bonus being gone). It has given players much more choice and increased diversity.
However I'm not entirely sure about the adaptive stat. I often do not agree when the game tells me 'lol you needed THIS stat, right?" OK it's probably quite obvious that an AP zerath needs an AP and ADC/bruisers need AD. But I don't play AP mids nor ADC.
Majority of supports and tanks who usually doesn't build any AD/AP items, but still wants their adaptive stats to be useful. I mean, amount of adaptive bonus from rune is pretty big.
It's probably natural to think that janna,soraka,karma,lulu needs AP, but for some matchup they actually don't, and want AD instead of AP. Imagine a braum vayne vs (something) janna. I'd probably want to auto them to death but oops, my +18 adaptive stat gave me 18AP instead of the 10AD i wanted.
lot of tank class champions suffer from this issue too!
Riot, you recently had to fix leona to gain AD for her adaptive stat instead of AP. You should already be aware of this issue.
What do you want as Maokai? are you sure it's AP? how sure? did Maokai run AP runes back in the old rune system? I'm pretty sure it was mostly defensive runes and then attack speed/AD depending on the matchup, and likely never AP, unless they wanted to AP maokai.
How about sion? do you want to be the E max sion or grasp+auto trade sion? what adaptive stat do i want? AP and AD respectively.
What about champions that (used to) go doran's ring first item only because of mana issue, and needs AD bonus not AP bonus(lot of top tanks + dorans ring first item jhin which used to be popular)?
After all, why are we sometimes forced to get adaptive stats that I don't want?
I have some suggestions . First of all, Let players choose how they want their adaptive stats to behave, just
A-1) Choose once on the runepage. 1) Adaptive 2) AD Only 3) AP Only. If you really want casual players do not care about this adaptive can be default OR A-2) Have an interface that allows you to switch inbetween in-game, like Elementalist Lux/Kayne etc.
B) Some items are very counterintuitive when it comes to deciding how my adaptive stats are behaving. for example, if i have guinsoo's and/or gunblade, what adaptive stat am i getting? is it AP? AD? what do i want? maybe AD if i'm kaisa? maybe AP if i'm kayle? maybe AD if i'm jax? maybe AD if i'm vayne? maybe AP if i'm ezreal? or wait, am i AP ezreal or AD ezreal?
maybe better if players could decide? How do you think?
