League of Legends Player Discovers New Use for Hexflash Rune
If you’re a League of Legends player, you might think that the Hexflash rune doesn’t have many uses. However, one player on Reddit may have found another way to utilize this rune to their advantage. By tapping the Hexflash key and barely starting the animation, players can trigger the Unflinching rune. This grants them an instant stack of Tenacity, which helps reduce incoming crowd control. While it may not be as flashy as canceling an animation mid-combo, it’s still a valuable tip. This strategy can even be effective for breaking out of Morgana’s snare faster, saving players from being kicked for being AFK.
However, there’s one drawback to this strategy that limits its usefulness. In order to benefit from both Unflinching and Hexflash, players need to run Inspiration and Resolve runes. This combination is not feasible for many champions in the game. Most tanks, supports, and other roles prefer to run other rune combinations to improve their mana or increase their damage. Sacrificing other rune paths to run both Inspiration and Resolve would severely impact a player’s effectiveness.
While this discovery is indeed a solid idea, it is unlikely that many players will choose to use it. The trade-off in rune choices is simply too significant for most players to justify. Despite its potential, this strategy may end up being underutilized in League of Legends.
