Add more movement speed runes to sorcery.

That way you get all those: "Empowered abilities and resource manipulation" runes that are advertised in the official tree description. In fact, just replace comet and aery with varants of phase rush while you're at it.

Why can't domination have all these dumb speed runes? It literally advertises "target access".

Why not give sorcery actual mage runes?

I know it's not officially "the mage tree" and I'm already taking domination on most mages... but really its called SORCERY, not FORMULA 1.

Sure it's great on a few assassin and a few niche picks that maybe can utilize it to re-position or roam, but it's such a bad fit for this tree.

And now they removed ultimate hat and put it into domination (supposedly "Burst damage and target access." smh) they also replaced it with a rune which also better belongs in domination.

I don't mind always going domination, but at least change the descriptions to what the trees actually are.

What is Sorcery? You mean the ADC secondary page that only has Celerity and Gathering Storm? It has keystones??

Edit: Oh wait yeah now I remember. Sorcery is that page you take on poke-based melee top laners like Sion, Camille and Urgot that's right.

Nimbus cloak empowers your ultimate thereby fitting the description of empowered abilities. There Is more to that than just "moar damage"

Resolve is called "Durability and Crowd Control" but the only runes that have anything to do with CC are one that gives you more durability when you use crowd control (Aftershock), and one that gives you Tenacity when you use a summoner spell.

The only other rune that actually affects crowd control at all is in the Precision tree, and it also just gives you Tenacity which is often a useless stat.

When playing Orianna and I'm watching Sorcery tree I feel like playing without runes. There's literally almost NONE of the runes fits properly with her. (And she's only one example)

I have to pick Aery since Comet is more likely to miss all the time.
If I'm playing against AD midlaner, I can only pick Manaflow Band, since Nullifying orb doesn't work at all against him.
Trascendence would be a pick only for the AP when I cap CDR, cause I'm gonna get 40% anyways, Celerity is getting a nerf next patch, and Absolute Focus is situational.
Scorch does near to 0 damage, Waterwalking is almost useless since Orianna isn't able to roam 90% of the time, and Gathering Storm is useful, true, but it's more likely to be nerfed since they already tried to nerf it.

So the best option is not pick Orianna at all.

/ignoring nimbus cloak, i want to make 2 comments

Sorc having movespeed is good for champions that take dom since if they take dom+sorc or sorc+dom they get the most AD or AP, however Sorc primary champions SHOULD have more insentive to go into Dom other than wards.
A lot of Mages like Movement speed (a lot take ghost) for getting away from ganks, having some sort of chase, roams. Now not all mages will take or use these runes, but if you WANT to roam and can say "I want to take celerity" You can.

And 1 mini-comment, as someone else said there is more to empowerment than damage.

Kassadin Vladimir Annie Karma Swain I find this rune to work really well on them but no rune is going to work well on every champion and no rune should

Riot. Face it. You guys screwed up your game bad this season. This is coming from a guy that has literally spent thousands of hours and dollars on this game. You tanked and instead of fixing the things we have complained about for 6 months you keep doing radical changes hoping we would forget about all the broken stuff

Penguin commented briefly on this issue in the last PBE playchat. He said these issues need addressed to Rovient.
