HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA! OMFG WTF?!

Seriously though. Riot. What on Earth made you think that providing more damage was a good idea? I thought the rune rework was to promote creativity and to allow for alternate playstyles? Why are the great majority of the keystones or whatever you call them damage based? I'm not even salty that preseason is chaotic. It is to be expected with a rework. I appreciate trying to overhaul things and I understand that it won't be perfect at first. What I am salty about is that you had a chance to really improve the damn game and you blew it on 100 ways to do more damage. It's telling for your design ethos. At any rate, either you goofed, in which case maybe I'll check back in a few months and see whats up, or it's intentional, and if so, bye.

I dislike the randomness to it also.

You some how survive the Karthus ultimate with 30hp, but you were the closest one to him when he casted it so his Comet come flying to you and if you manage to dodge the Scorch damage finishes you off.

Soraka auto followed you from Flashing and dashing away, but because she has Aery, she kills you.

Riven takes Aery despite it only offering damage to her because of it's almost nonexistant cooldown with no downside for not using the shielding portion.

Not to mention there is only one defensive tree, and it's almost exclusively tank focused. Mirror shield/Conditioning/Iron Skin are the only kinda universal ones since everyone can heal through potions, but they benefit tanks more than others due to that % of resistance given.

The only benefit to this system is that no one is at a disadvantage any more Rune wise when autofilled. If I am an ADC/Top main that randomly gets Mid, I'm not stuck with my Default AP page with AP/MPen/MR/Armor page vs a Talon using his Vs AP page with Lethality/MR/CDR page that completely counters my poke before the game even begins.
