proposed fix for runeglaive

The Öutcast·Jul 21, 2015·1 votes·427 views

Currently, ezreal is on a temporary permanent pick or ban in ranked. The reason being is runeglaive. It gives him phenomenal pushing power (too much in my opinion, maybe not others.)

My proposal for a fix is to remove the runeglaive passive on minions only. The way Runeglaive Ezreal works is by shoving utilizing the aoe with ap scaling in conjunction with his q, so it's a pretty hefty hitting ability. When I was playing it, 500 ap (not full build) was hitting minions for 900 damage to the primary minion hit, and then half that to surrounding minions. By removing the sheen proc to minions on runeglaive, it will primarily hurt only ezreal, since the other ap casters who utilize it use it for jungling specifically.

Before this question comes up, it would still work on champions, just not minions. If the passive hits a champion, it could damage surrounding minions.

Thoughts?

Enchantment: Runeglaive

Unique Passive - Spellblade - AoE damage is now only on monster hit and no longer converts the attack to magic damage.

Tooltip now reads: "UNIQUE Passive - Spellblade: After using an ability, the next basic attack deals 100% Base Attack Damage (+30% Ability Power) bonus magic damage on hit (1.5 second cooldown). When directly attacking a monster, the bonus damage is reapplied in an AoE around the target, and 8% of your missing Mana is restored."

That change is coming Thursday. If you came up with that on your own, feel proud, because you came to a very similar conclusion to what Riot did.

yeah I haven't been looking at patch notes as of late, so that was my own thinking, so my bad and my good.

Yeah they are basically gutting Runeglaive in the next Patch. Don't worry about Runeglaive Ezreal anymore, it would be better to get Lichbane now in many situations. Really you would only want Runeglaive for the smite upgrade to help push a lane or challenging smite your lane opponent. I think Runeglaive is going to need an AP boost after this change for the AP junglers out there, though everyone hates Nidalee anyway, so maybe not (she didn't really need the conversion to magic damage anyway due to her cougar form Q). I feel this hurts Evelynn a lot since she is going to get nerfed in the next patch too. Warrior enchant might be better on her now, though I still like Runeglaive. Runeglaive is going to still be the better option for the early game I'm pretty sure, as the burst will help to make ganks a lot stronger.

I like the change for the most part as I think Runeglaive was severely OP, but we'll see where it ends up after these changes. Peace.
