The first row of the resolve tree is just too niche. Demolish to take towers quicker which is probably the most universal rune in the first role, then there is Font of Life which hasn't felt or looked impactful since release, and now there is Shield Bash which only works on a few comps and only wanted by a few champions.
I just feel Font of Life needs a pretty large buff and the first row could be a lot better. It just feels like they forgot about the rune.
BigFBear1 votesEven Demolish seems not so good for Junglers imho.
Beerstein1 votesEven on Amumu at 3,000 hp that's 35 healing over 2 seconds, most fights don't last more than 2 seconds these days while people have thousands of health, and most champions either have some sort of life sustain which is MUCH stronger, or even passive health regen that's stronger than that.
Keeping in mind this is Amumu, pure tank. So best case scenario. Demolish isn't in any way "resolve" and the shield one only works on very specific champions.
On top of that, aftershock can be 50/50 as it takes so long to trigger, especially early game ganks. The 2.5s defense is nice though, if not for that I wouldn't even primary resolve on Amumu.
I'd say they need to 3x Font of Life 1%->3% to make it feel okay even as a non keystone.
They should also consider adding another defensive thing there that's more generic to all champions, like increase armor/mres on boot items by 25-50% based on level.
There are so many options for damage right now, but riot is so highly resistant to defensive ones that even the defensive tree has a bunch of gimp masteries and offensive ones in it.
