Talk:Runeglaive/@comment-26531104-20150625074414

So this is my first ever comment or contribution to the wiki.

But this was too big for me to pass up, anyway so ive been doing some testing and thinking.

Lets start with what ive tested.

Runeglaive autos can crit, i repeat they can crit.

gangplank with 6% crit chance runes and a full page of crit dam, did 272 magic damage on a regular q with 72 coming from the glaive, and 534 from a crit (crit dam runes are why this number doesnt line up with the +72)

Ill probs check it later tonight but considering it can still crit i wont doubt that it can proc lifesteal unlike poppies q

Now as for the thinking.

This is by far the most tactical item in the game for any champion that can reliably proc sheen effects.

In particular ad champs.

Why? simple really, This is a poppy q, in the shop, Build full ad, oh they built armor? thats cool buy a runeglaive, boom you do magic damage instead of physical now, ggwp, build mr? well you have smite anyway so get warriors enchant, get more procs and some armor pen and damage to boot, nice.

What if they build hybrid? well their mr will be lower then so the answer is the glaive.

This line of thinking would work on gp, eve, ezreal, mf, fizz etc etc

its a direct counter to the tank meta, when you can just run smite in lane and do flip flops on your damage type by buying or selling an item how the fuck are the tanks meant to build to counter that? they dont

It will take awhile before people start to actually use this in the ways ive mentioned but honestly, this could be a legit thing.
