Celestial Body Rune?

For those that don't remember the name and are too lazy to look it up, this is the rune that gives you +100 hp permanently, but makes you do -10% damage pre-10 minutes. It looks like a tempting choice to me, but I just don't know who I would run it on, and to be honest it really doesn't seem like on most champs it would be mathematically worth it. If your goal is just to survive 10 minutes maybe and hardly ever poke, I guess it could be. So I ask, who has been using it? What champions have you been using it on? Has it been worth it? It seems to me like 10 minutes of -10% damage is a LOT to sacrifice

Melee tank vs ranged harass top. There's no penalty to minion damage, so you can farm normally. Any time you're likely to get harassed out of lane and don't have the engage for an all in. Think Malphite vs Gnar.

Best answer I've seen, besides tanky supports of course which is the most expected answer. Very logical.

Also probably better to go inspiration primary resolve secondary as you won't get in range for grasp very often and could use the extra TP plays. I don't think it's good on tank support, as they always build health immediately and kinda need all their damage right away. It might be fine for Braum in a Sivir Braum vs Cait Karma lane, but not when you could all in early.

yeah 100 health at lvl 1 is crazy. this rune as all about surviving the early game and making it to mid/late game. and its even better if you dont care about dealing damage cuz your role is cc. resolve primary plus this is 230 health at lvl 1 which is over 600 gold worth of health. plus the 80 from a dorans and you have an extra 300 hp at lvl 1. that is a third to half of most champs lvl 1 HP.

It’s for champs that don’t much damage in the first place, or that damage isn’t the point of their attacks. Mainly this applies to supports, but it could see niche use in top lane as well.

The real problem is that the alternatives in the slot are just superior, especially the one that gives 5% CDR for everything with a cooldown.
