My unique inspiration rune problem

TheDangerousTaco·2/9/2018, 5:49:26 PM·2 votes·251 views

I do not use stopwatch, in fact I don't prefer it ( even though every tryhard will tell me I'm crazy not to get it ) its just not my style. Because of the recent rune change to the inspiration rune tree, I'm faced with a unique problem. All the runes I do not use, are on the same treeline. And I cannot go into game without being forced to pick one.

  • I do not use hextech flash.
  • I do not want boots because I cannot buy them earlier
  • and I do not fancy stop watch.

But because of the lack of better options, stopwatch is obviously the better pic. So in a sense, I am one of the few people that did not enjoy taking stopwatch and is now being forced to take it because of a meta shift? That seems like complete irony too me.

This is not a complaint thread , just a personal snippet of my own unique take on the inspiration treeline. In hopes that a rioter may come and read this. It seems to lack diversity where it matters.

Edit:

Before anyone asks I took a break from league for a while, but I do remember my setup being. ( glacial augment, futures market, biscuit delivery, and Cosmic insight. In fact the other thing that's bugging me is that I cant have futures market with biscuits anymore T_T

Man, I loved market with biscuit. That was an awesome thing for supports. Let me stay in lane a bit longer, to possibly get a full item on my first back, while giving me a bit more late-game power.

Personally, I'd suggest going for boots over stopwatch, though, unless you're going to actually want/need Zhonya's/Stoneplate/GA anyways. It does delay your boots, but it's still 300g cheaper, gives you more MS, and can sometimes help you get them earlier (30s earlier per kill/assist. Meaning a potential 7 minute boots when botlane, which is honestly sooner than when you'd get it by buying it).

Yeah you should try Magic Boots, they're pretty legit. IDK what role you play but +10 move speed and being able to focus on other items before boots is pretty potent. The only issue is if you're mid or a low mobility jungler you won't be able to buy boots to help dodge skillshots or to help you roam. But if you can play around that weakness the gold value on magic boots is very consistent.
