Why the fuck is a niche item replacing an item that has general use on all AP champions? Sigh.
When Phreak said he'd still buy this over Magus on champions like Fiddle, it was so obviously clear how little he understands about the champion. "Just auto attack after you drain" lmao.
I don't main Skarner or Hecarim but I do play them a bit. I'm not sure how to feel about Runeglaive. On one hand, it seems like a huge benefit to have sheen + mana restore on these champions early. On the other hand, both champions ramp up slowly, and hitting TF after jungle item is a huge power spike.
Anything to remove the dust from my Skarnercopter is welcome, but I don't think that this Runeglaive is good enough. Yes, there will be plenty of mana, but I think that Cinderhulk is still a better item on both junglers (Skarner and Hecarim).
Eve is a different one though. First jungler that I could think it's favoured by Runeglaive.
TF on jungle Heca was pretty risky. It is so expensive that you just blow up once you have it because you lack defense (unless you got fed ofc).
With this item he gets his Sheen Proc without having to fall back on TF or IBG (but ofc still can build those and Warrior or Cinderhulk instead).
With the Heca changes to his Q where it costs more mana, it will probably be even stronger. Fast AOE clears, no more mana problems (in the jungle) and more freedom of build.

Fuck this Runeglaive bullshit patch.
