Just went 20-1 as Vayne with the new runes

The KDA isn't important. It's how easy the game was and how snowbally it was.

It was a joke. Yes, the enemy Vayne was not that great but the previous game would not just allow that much of a crazy snowball in such a short amount of time as Vayne. Maybe as Draven - but not as Vayne.

If you couple cheap shot, lethal tempo, and another rune that gives damage for low-health targets - Vayne just gets disgusting when you hit 40% HP as any champion. Even if you're a tank, that threshold under 50% is just decimation.

I play Vayne because she's mechanically difficult and entertaining to play with. When I destroy someone, I feel like it's a big outplay because I always have to time it. These new runes allowed me to solo-kill four people just with three tumbles without getting lower than 50% HP and there were three tanks. One of them was as fed as me at that point. Yes, I have a pretty good WR as Vayne but I don't have to focus as much as I used to.

This is so dull. I don't even feel like people outplay me anymore or I outplay them. Once there's a lead, it's a snowball immediately following. Actually, it's an avalanche.

"Oh, it's the new domination rune letting the Zed dominate the mages who are still suffering from poor itemization changes Riot has yet to address."

"Oh, it's the new runes that allow Yorick to take towers in three hits by 15 minutes even though he's 2/7 with 120 CS".

"Oh, it's just that new rune that makes bot-lane interactions much less dull so supports are locked into specific lane stances rather than going with tons of damage/harass or innate tankiness."

I don't ever feel it's the player now. It's just absurd how can the game come to this point when you have a literal playtest team?

I'll never play ranked if this rune system is kept just by how much of an avalanche can follow in a game.
