Defensive Runes Need a Buff
Turns out doesn't matter what your role is, offensive runes are still dominant. MOST of the time it makes more sense even as a support to gear your early build AKA rune selection towards HARASS and defensive gameplay early on rewards by... NOTHING! It rewards you by putting you behind.
Playing DEFENSIVELY should NOT place you behind HENCE TOWERS. You receive "assistance" from towers when you wisely choose to play defensively in a lane you are losing and runes should reflect the same choice.
