I get assasins making use of the rune because of the damage, but here we have the champ:
- Manaless
- Super safe laning
- Poke combo almost undogeable
- Projectiles
And he gets shares the privilege of being catalogued as “melee”, even though most of his kit consists of ranged damage with no mana drawbacks.
Most others champions that uses the rune either gets only the 70% because of their poking potential, or have little to no poking potential, but zed just seems like the exception.
And yeah english isn’t my main languague.
I get what you are saying, why do we differentiate between ranged and melee gold when zed can proc first strike from further than a caitlyn auto range.
They could make it work so that if it gets procced from like below 300 range it counts as melee for all champions and if it gets procced from farther than that, it counts as ranged for all.
Probably makes a lot more sense. Also fixes shapeshipter champions, who can kinda exploit this by dealing damage in ranged form and getting gold from melee form.
