Commentary (7.1e)
- "However, some things can be changed. For example, cut down in coupe degra is the most obvious one in precision tree. You're going to only go cut down when the enemies have um or you're only going to go coop if uh you want to like execute enemies, right? For the most part, cut down would make most sense for most champions. But if you're playing like assassin or something, then last stand will be very useful against last will be very useful when you're playing champions like Ireelia, right?" (02:07)
- "This unit is actually it has gotten a lot better now that they validated the movement speed and there is reason to go triumph. So pretty much if your champion is going to go precision and you don't really like brutal and you don't really like bal triumph is actually a decent Um there's a lot of junglers that like going precision for the other two runes right for mostly cut down and for lacrity which helps them clear the jungle better and they don't necessarily love brutal or battle zeal. Uh so on those champions you can go triumph right but there's very few cases in reality uh of those champions I think Lein might be a good shout for someone that can use Riven because she gets her resets right after you kill one champion go to the next one that's a good shout too but both of those champions can really like battle zeal as well really likes battle zeal as well which let's talk about battle zeal for a second gain 2% stacking basic ability power damage amplification every 1 second while in combat with enemy champions stacks up to three times." (01:20:41)
- "So a lot of those champions do like battle zeal. The problem going precision, it's mostly like an ADC rune page, which they all go brutal, cut down elacrity. When you build brutal or when you build this on junglers, for example, that also go precision very often because those are the main two classes, junglers and ADCs, the main two roles that go precision." (01:22:46)
- "Okay, next up we have last hand. Cut down. Coup grow. Cut down will pretty much always be the go-to, right? your attacks and abilities gain 8% adaptive damage to enemies with more than 60% health. Most of the time, the enemies want to have more than 60% health. If they have less than 60% health, they're usually not fighting you, right? So, you're going to get low value from cut down. Last stand is when you have lower than 60% health, attack lunge on the enemy." (01:23:39)
- "I think Aurelia is the best example of a great last stand user, but it's kind of niche. So it's usually between cut down and coupra. Kubigra can be good for like finishing off enemies and like the damage that Kubigra does, right, is more valuable than the damage that Cutdown does." (01:24:32)
- "Uh yeah, Kubra damage is actually a little underrated because the damage that you do when someone's under 40% health is more valuable than when they're over 60% health, right? So even though Cut Down will 99% of games do more damage, the damage value is going to be better in Cooper the Grow. Yeah, Kindred is a good example with his ulti. Really nice shot on the Kindred. Yeah, that's a really nice shot on the Kindred. Kendra loves last hand. So I think coupra or coupra or kud grass or whatever uh is definitely an underrated rune but for the most part most champions will go cut down unless they really benefit from last stand. And I think a lot of assassins will also go for kudigra as well but obviously it kind of depends on what your champions goals are. Poke champions will prefer cut down. Uh oh trinameir trinameir is actually the best example." (01:25:15)
- "Otherwise, if you're like a poke champion, you deal damage champs when they're full HP. Cut down. If you're more of like an assassin champion, then coup Degra makes more sense like a Katarina that wants to quickly get her resets and finish off low HP enemies." (01:26:10)
- "I think this actually one of the most underrated runes in the game. The problem is that this page again, most champions that go this page take uh Aurelian soul prefer cut down or coupe uh uh definitely cut down for a since only ADCs and junglers usually go precision with junglers and ADCs you usually want to go elacrity, right? because you uh want to clear the jungle as fast as possible and you want to maximize your damage when you're playing ADC. Some champions might go bloodline in the jungle, right?" (01:26:45)
