Prototype: Omnistone - New Ohmwrecker

Let's have a continued discussion on this. I'm not the highest skilled player by any means (~high plat/mid dia) but I do have a couple of friends whom are and share the same opinion throughout our discussions as myself when testing and using the Keystone.

It's uh... well, to put it bluntly; very useless. There is no situation yet found in dozens of games where it felt like it had impact. Most of the time I wouldn't even notice what Keystone I had on even though it's displayed adjacent to the Health bar. The runes it did give me most of the time had little-to-no effect and I would've been better just committing to one rune instead of changing my play-style to fit what I was given.

My opinion isn't worth too much, and neither are the friends of mine as we're not pros -- but I don't see this rune ever being used. Kleptomancy was removed because it was only used by a few champions; namely Ezreal, Miss Fortune and Karma among others, as well as being hard to balance. It was replaced with... a much worse Spellbook.

Thus I'm naming it Ohmwrecker instead of Omnistone. It's niche, it's bad, and it absolutely will not see mainstream appeal in it's current state.

Yea hadn't thought about it, but they did remove Ohmwrecker just because it was a meme item. But they replace it with a meme rune soooo..... :/

Yup, it's useless alright. How is it that Kleptomancy was "too weird" for inspiration but this rune fits the bill? I don't understand why they got rid of Kleptomancy it was pretty much the only keystone worth getting in that tree most of the time. You trade off extra damage, healing or survivability from other trees in hopes that your gold lead will carry you in the game. It was such a good keystone and they drop it.
