“Um he only cannot rotate in mid and he has bad wave clear. So for example, if you're against a good enemy, like a good enemy Ahri, she may not be able to poke you as much if you play safe, but she's going to shove the waves and she's going to gank left and right. So that be careful with kill against those types of champions. You don't really want to pick kill into Ahri, not because you're not going to win lane because you're going to be fine in lane, but that Ahri is going to absolutely demolish your team while you are farming. They're going to get tilted.”

patch 7.1d

Scope: This section reflects state as-of patch 7.1d per Royal. May be outdated for later patches — see top-level Tier history. "I don't think they're as strong as the GOD tier mages, which are Ahri and Ryze." — [[Sources/videos/2026-05-04-royal-tier-list-7.1d|Royal, 7.1d tier list]] (04:01) Why she's GOD in 7.1d: Royal positions Ahri and Ryze as the two clearly-better mages above S-tier mages (Mel, Aurora, Kassadin, Vladimir, Gragas). No specific buff/nerf reasoning given for Ahri this patch — her placement appears to be sustained dominance rather than patch-driven movement.

  • "The AD that you buy afterwards. 20% AP ratio. So, electrocute is a very clear burst rune that you're going to take on burst champions. So, you might think of assassins for the most part, and it's currently competing against dark harvest, which is another rune you go on assassins, conqueror, which you go on like assassins that like longer fights, and first strike, which is also a burst rune that amplifies your burst damage, right? Who likes So, when you're think of electrocute, you're not thinking of it in a vacuum, right? Casten likes electrocute but but first strike meets the criteria of electrocute and then does more for you, right? Uh so who wants to go electrocute? What is electrocute better at than first strike? So electrocute has a way stronger early game, right? Because first strike only amplifies your abilities by um right now it's 7% but they keep buffing and nerfing it all the time, but right now it's 7%. So let's say you're playing Ahri for example, right? And your otak second ability otak combo level one will do by itself let's say 150 damage, right? Getting 7% more damage on the 150 damage is like 10 extra damage, right? by electrocute will give you 40 extra damage level one plus 20% of your amplifying tome which is 25. uh you're actually getting 45 bonus damage level one on Ari. So electrocute will give you way more damage in the early game than first strike. So for a champion that wants to trade early heavily like Aurora and like RA which are the most common examples of electrocute, electrocute makes more sense than first strike. My goal with this is to kind of like help you understand the rune choices of certain champions so you can get comfortable building yourself, right? So why why does someone like Synra prefer first strike or comet or why does someone like Ken prefer first strike? Well, number one, Kasan has a hard time procing First Strike in the laning phase, right? Cyn has an easy time procking First Strike in the laning phase, but they prefer it over Electrocute because those champions scale better than Ari and Aurora, and they're more worried about getting to their late game and amplifying their late game burst damage, where Electrocute and First Strike will do similar damage, but keep in mind that First Strike also gives you all that gold, right? So, First Strike is more of a scaling rune that will help you meet your power spikes as well because it gives you gold throughout the game, while Electrocute is more focused on stronger early game trades. And obviously, it'll depend how good Electrocute is versus First Strike because First Strike used to be 9% damage, right? So, even some champions that usually would prefer Electrocute would go for strike. If they nerf or buff electrocute in the future, then maybe more champions will start going uh electrocute. The champions are kind of in between like they're thinking about it. They're like, "Oh, I like first strike now, but if something change, I'm happy to go to electrocute as well." So, that's something you need to consider. Next up, let's look at Dark Harvest." (14:44)
