You know what you really, REALLY shouldn't do? Look at the clock and go "Oh, its 3 am but I'm not that sleepy, I'll go play a quick Dominion game!".

Because you lose the game, and you can't go to bed with a loss now, can you?

So it's 5 a.m. now and I just got my win after 5 consecutive losses. And I'm angry at all the stupidity I went through, and I don't really think I'll be sleeping anytime soon. God damn so much stupidity.

Crit damage runes are absolutely abysmal. Never, ever use them.

Crit chance runes can be hilarious, though. With a full crit chance rune page, an avarice blade, an elixir of agility, and 100 points of fury, Trynadamere can get up to 75.25% chance to critical strike at say, level 6 or so, however soon it takes him to get an avarice blade and an elixir of agility.

You could get another avarice blade and go Bankamere, and get 87.25% crit chance.

Uh... Bankplank/mere haven't worked since gp10 nerf.

Another Bay12/DFC ARAM session going live.

Armor pen runes are typically (read: always) more efficient at damage amplification than crit runes.

[woose1]

Wasn't Tryndamere built off of flat damage at one point? Why did they go and change him back to crit chance?

[penguinofhonor]

Crit damage just increased his swinginess and inconsistency. You could get those crazy moments where you had 300% crit damage or whatever, but it's ridiculous so it held his early game back too much.

Tey're actually great.
If you have a champion that crits regularly.
I used them on Tryndamere for some time but yeah.
Crit damage on any champion not being entirely built around crits is a waste.

[tompliss]

Tey're actually great.

nope.
I remember reading some theorycraft (Here, I think), about how armor pen are better than crit damage.

Anyway, movement speed quints are the best for nearly every champ (for low level on AD carries who don't have their PD still, for offtanks who need to go/stay close to their prey, and for AP carries who nearly don't have access to mvt speed items).

[RedKing]

What's the opinion on the hybrid armor pen/magic pen runes? I noticed that my runepage has my reds slotted with half attack speed and half armor pen/magic pen. (I haven't really been paying much attention to optimizing my runes)

Works well for my hybrid favorites like Miss Fortune, but then I play a lot of support tank too. Bought me a 3rd runepage recently, how should I build it for a support tank (typically Taric, sometimes Malphite)?

It depends on the build and champ. Ashe with crit damage runes can rape early on with her passive, crit chance runes aren't neccessary on Ashe, PD+IE is more then enough crit chance.

And then there are troll build's like Siv HD's Crit Tiamat Kayle where adding crit damage is harder early game but late game you just wreck shit

[baruk]

Blaze vs. Frost goes to game 5, which means blind pick..

Just heading off the rune discussion: http://www.reignofgaming.net/blogs/a-different-view/gentleman-gustaf/21191-unusual-marks-for-your-usual-carries-a-critical
http://www.reignofgaming.net/blogs/a-different-view/gentleman-gustaf/20981-runes-gold-efficiency-of-common-choices
The only thing not discussed there, reds for ad champs wise, is AD vs Arpen, which has been done to death, and it's pretty much common knowledge that Arpen is stronger than AD lategame.
