Big nerf coming to Dark Harvest Rune with upcoming patch 8.24

Riot is planning to nerf Dark Harvest Rune with upcoming patch 8.24, this change is one of many pre-season changes in preparation for new season 2019.

When Dark Harvest was changed in last week’s patch and the rune system as a whole was flipped (again), it threw some things out of whack. Well, mostly. Some things were irritating before the patch, too, and Riot expected them to be evened out by the changes, but instead, they were made into even larger problems. Looking at you, Viktor.

Like Dark Harvest Rune, which has become one of the most popular and most effective runes in the game since it was changed only a week ago. Some of the others, like top lane Viktor, Aatrox, Akali, and Irelia are obvious, too, as they’ve been problems for months.

LeBlanc and Camille have sort of flown under the radar, and aren’t as divisive as the others on platforms like Reddit and the game’s forums, but they’ve become quite effective as well. LeBlanc is one of the most popular mid laners, and Camille is a very strong flex pick for either top or jungle in solo queue now. Prior to the pre-season, she was typically a more popular pro pick, but casual players stayed away from her for the most part.

These changes should arrive with upcoming patch 8.24 in the next week.
