So your runes are effectively nerfed, yes. Is your character weaker after this than they would have been previously? No. Are they weaker contextually in comparison to other options they could have used instead? That is where the question is, though it'll be nice to see some other runes get use and be less of a "Fits this role? Hands down these runes." Still will be that way, as is the nature of the beast, but rotated to something different for a bit, which I view as a good thing for keeping things fresh.

More than closing the gap, though, what this change does is mitigate in-lane sustainability, and I know that's a big thing with Morello. I agree with Morello's stance on that, too. The risk vs reward for aggressive, active gameplay is not appropriately balanced, in my opinion.
