I know why Omnistone fails

I know it's TFT area,but I don't know how to post it in LOL area.Anyway, this is a serious issue. The key idea for Omnistone is to let players use every runes instead of using best runes for champions,and compensate in two ways:

cd of runes 2.power of runes(Dark harvest) Lets talk about why it fails(2 works not so bad,but 1 is different)
cd of runes a. for special runes Imaging two summoners,A choose grasp of the undying, B choose Ominstone but Ominstone only choose grasp of the undying，they both keep fighting,A use grasp of the undying every 4 seconds，B use grasp of the undying every 4 seconds plus Ominstone's cd, so unfair,isn't it?The same thing apply for Fleet Footwork,Conquers and Glacial Augment(Glacial Augment is slightly different,A can use it for every opponent during Glacial Augment's cooldown,B can only use it for one opponent during Ominstone's cd) b. bilinear system Runes power can be estimated as: Runes power for a single time/ its cd. This results two problems (1). for most of runes cd is fixed for level, so it grows as a linear system, but Ominstone grows in two sides, making it hard to balance (2).for ranged and melee using specific runes(Conquers,grasp of the undying and Fleet Footwork),these runes are hard to use for melee,but riot already nurf ranged by nurfing power for a single time,but ranged champions use Ominstone for these runes,they are nurfed in two ways:in power for a single time and Ominstone's cd ,how unfortunate! In fact,Ominstone's cd should be based on runes it use,say,60% of its original cd,and design specific cd for runes those don't have cd concept. I have lots of deep thoughts about ominstone,contact me by: [email protected]

TL;DR it's too RNG based. Yw.

Had a mini stroke reading this but this is what I got out of it. Omnistone underperforms because the RNG nature of the rune makes it inconsistent and worse in general to just taking a regular keystone.

Only a handful of champions can actually use it. Just like with Klepto.

Tbh the only thing i use Omnistone on is Jungle Leona, primarily just to take everything in the Inspiration tree. But also because Predator procs are a big deal, and Omnistone also gives her more sustained DPS than other runes which is a weakpoint for Leona

Yeah, you hit it. I take Kaleidomancy with Garen, instead of Predator. It's about as good as having Predator, plus, I get keystones INBETWEEN Predator procs. The keystones do swap very rapidly during combat, sometimes I proc 5 keystones in as many seconds. I might get over 40 keystones procs off in a single match, about a quarter of those Predators. Garen won't get 40 Grasp procs in a single match, and much fewer when taking PR or Pred. I take Approach Velocity with that, and often wind up getting over 80s on it, with Glacial, DMP, Allies etc...

Im general, the smart logic has been PRESCIENT, giving me Pred from base, Glacial when chasing down, and DH JUST BEFORE I connect for the kill. At times, I do get that stubborn Aery following me around, because I'm not in direct combat...

It's a LOT of Utility. Then I get HexFlash with Nimbus (which ALSO procs on Smite). The Nimbus on very short CD with HexFlash and Smite amounts to a second backup keystone.
