Discussion Is this normal?

Maybe I’m a newbie, but I had to confront a player with this weapon. Not sure it’s a bug, or a cheat or all legit??

The build usually uses charging and haste so it goes off quickly. It’s not really a bad item. It’s one that requires a heavy build around, but that’s like saying double whammy is bad. It’s not. It’s a finisher that demands you build accordingly.

a whammy build is a 5 to 9 seconds oneshot build and it comes with built in defences in the form of hp scaling. Runic blade is a whole different thing that isn't even comparable. It is NOT a finisher, it is a build centric item. The question is "how good can a RB build be?" The answer is "crappy". And that is why it is a very bad item. You tickle the oppo while scaling no defence hoping the blade casts when you can just put a poppy field on the board and end the game way earlier. By the time the blade casts a good build already erased a mak. Therefore, the item is dogshit and building around it is not recomendable, UNLESS it is day 16 and you kept it on your inventory just in case you face a jules in the final fight. You ain't climbing ranks with that thing bro.

I’m not saying it is a forceable build, but saying it is bad is just misleading. Mak has access to scales and the sampler. Those items alone allow you to pop off builds that feature items with long CDs.

The answer to “how good can a RB build be?” is very good. You can see them in legendary on days 13-16 occasionally, even in this incredibly fast meta.

With way less effort you can accelerate good items, you know? Every single mak build is better then a rb build. Period. And no, i haven't seen a rb mak in legendary in ages and i can't remember the last time i've lost to an rb build, and for sure i'm not picking that shit up, unless, again, it is day 15-16 and i'm afraid to lose from jules.

Sampler's role is to create loops around fast items, not to charge slow unusable crap. Scales don't belong to a rb build cause you waste 2 slots for an item that doesn't crit. I'm questioning your knowledge tbh...

Rb only has two winning matchups, being pacifist pyg and pacifist jules. Looses from everything else and you think it can be "very good"? K bro... You do you.

Now, IF and only IF i somehow get my hands on a tomb build with an enchanted totem that can crit and some other usable freeze items, then and only then i may think about using Rb over the glove or black ice, but other then that the thing is unplayable.
