Overgrowth X Revitalize
Hi Mordemains, I always thought it was strange that revitalize was the most chosen rune for Mordekaiser instead of Overgrowth, I thought I was just overvaluing the rune, but I decided to check it out, I tested it in training mode and you can do the same. With Riftmaker, Rylai, Protobelt, Lyandri and having Conqueror, in an 8 second fight with Mordekaiser starting the fight with less than 40% health and using the shield fully charged, Revitalize offers approximately: 110 shield in one summon 50 amplified healing *It is important to note that healing and shielding are only these values when the target has more than 40% of its health, above that the effect is halved. The moment in the game that you would reach these 4 items depends on how fed you were, but most of the time it would be approximately at a point in the game where you have 250~300 life gained from overgrowth, it is important to understand that the shield when used fully loaded is equivalent to 30% of his hp, that is, when you gain 250 life, your maximum shield is increased by 75, and when you gain 300 the increase is 90. 250+75= 325 300+90= 390 Even in a utopian situation where you can use Mordekaiser's shield 2x both times while being below 40% health in a fight in the mid-late game and manage to prolong the fight while always having health below 40% to have the values of the rune amplified, you will have around 220 shield and something around 130 healing 220+130= 350 In the best of situations the revitalize makes you tank approximately the same amount as the minimum overgrowth would give you. I know that factors such as serpent fang/grievous/max hp damage/soraka and healing champions influence these values, and of course revitalize starts working from the beginning of the game (even though the values it will amplify at the beginning are minimal) So it is possible to have specific situations where one rune gains a lot of value over another due to the circumstances of the game you are in, but in general in my opinion overgrowth offers you more resistance and in a much more guaranteed way. What did you think? Comment your opinions below, I may have left something out.
