The Domination Tree is a popular choice for League of Legends players who want offensive options. In this tree, there are three runes to choose from in the second row: Eyeball Collection, Ghost Poro, and Zombie Ward. Let’s take a closer look at each of these runes and how they can benefit your playstyle.
Eyeball Collection
Eyeball Collection is the third rune in the row and requires you to score takedowns against enemy champions to stack. Each takedown grants you 1 Eyeball, and you can collect up to 10 Eyeballs. Each Eyeball provides bonus AD or AP, and completing all 10 stacks gives you additional bonus AD or AP. This rune is great if you want a reliable source of AD or AP, and it can be stacked quickly if you’re getting kills.
Ghost Poro
Ghost Poro is the second rune in the row and relies on your own wards. When your wards expire, they leave behind a Ghost Poro that provides vision in a smaller area. This rune gives you bonus AD or AP upon spawning and spotting enemies. While Ghost Poro rewards you for placing wards, it takes longer to stack compared to Eyeball Collection. Be aware that enemy champions can scare away your Ghost Poro and make it disappear.
Zombie Ward
Zombie Ward is the first rune in the row and requires you to take down enemy wards to summon an allied ward in its place. These wards last for 120 seconds and provide vision. Destroying a Zombie Ward grants you bonus AD or AP. This rune allows you to convert the enemy’s vision into yours. It stacks as fast as your enemy’s ability to place wards. Consider purchasing Oracle Lens to clear wards and stack Zombie Wards faster.
It’s important to note that Ghost Poro and Zombie Ward rely on wards, so they may not be useful in game modes that do not allow warding. In such cases, the game automatically swaps these runes for Eyeball Collection.
When choosing between these runes, consider how easy they are for you to stack and gain value from. Eyeball Collection is the fastest to stack since it only requires takedowns. Ghost Poro relies on your own wards and takes time to stack. Zombie Ward relies on enemy wards and allows you to convert their vision into yours. Each of these runes has its pros and cons, so choose the one that suits your playstyle and champion the best.
While all three runes provide the same value once completed, Ghost Poro and Zombie Ward continue to provide additional benefits even after being fully stacked. Eyeball Collection, on the other hand, only provides AD or AP. Consider using items like Support Items, Umbral Glaive, and Oracle Lens to enhance the benefits of these runes.
Ultimately, there is no clear winner among these runes. It depends on your playstyle, the champion you’re playing, and the game situation. Choose the rune that you think will benefit you the most and help you win the game.
