What is HAPPENING in the Inspiration Tree?

(warning, incoming rant from a Vladimir player after seeing spellbook changes on PBE)


Most rune trees, at a glance, give you a pretty good idea of what champions may want their effects.

  • Domination gives burst and mobility.
  • Sorcery helps poke damage and ability spam.
  • Resolve makes you tanky and can help survive lane.
  • Precision bolsters dps (unless you're AP).

Then we have the problem child: Inspiration. Honestly, this feels like the section for runes they didn't know what to do with. Swapping summoner spells? Gold on hit? What CLASS or ROLE of champions were these even intended for? One holds together champions that can't find another keystone and the other created degenerate playstyles that had more to do with having an abusable ability than the champion's function on the rift. The runes here are a mixed bag too. Defense, lane sustain, mobility, wave clear, debt, cdr, it's just a grab bag of nice things that didn't fit anywhere else.

Honestly, the tree either needs to be dismantled and have its parts sprinkled over the other trees, or be reworked to focus on an aspect that other trees have touched on less like Utility or map control.
