Domination Tree is a popular Rune Tree in League of Legends due to its offensive options. The second row of this tree offers free Adaptive Force that can be stacked easily. However, you can only choose one of the three options available.
Eyeball Collection
Eyeball Collection is the third rune in the second row of the Domination tree. It requires collecting takedowns against enemy champions to gain Eyeballs. You can collect up to 10 Eyeballs, with each Eyeball providing AD or AP. Completing the collection grants additional AD or AP.
It’s important to note that the rune provides bonus AD or AP based on the stat you already have the most bonuses for. Each Eyeball collected gives 1.2 bonus AD or 2 AP, resulting in 12 bonus AD or 20 AP at 10 Eyeballs. Completing the collection provides an additional 6 bonus AD or 10 AP, making the total value of this rune 18 bonus AD or 30 AP.
Ghost Poro
Ghost Poro is the second rune in the second row of the Domination tree. It works by leaving behind a Ghost Poro when your wards expire. Ghost Poros provide bonus AD or AP upon spawning and spotting enemies. However, they can be scared away by enemy champions.
You can gain up to 10 stacks by spawning Ghost Poros and spotting enemies with them. Each stack provides 1.2 bonus AD or 2 AP, resulting in 12 bonus AD or 20 AP at 10 stacks. Completing the stacks grants an additional 6 bonus AD or 10 AP, making the total value of this rune 18 bonus AD or 30 AP.
Zombie Ward
Zombie Ward is the first rune in the second row of the Domination tree. It replaces destroyed enemy wards with allied wards that last for 120 seconds. These wards grant bonus AD or AP upon creation and can be destroyed by enemy champions.
Destroying an enemy ward counts as a takedown for Zombie Ward, regardless of the last hit. Each takedown grants 1.2 bonus AD or 2 AP. You can collect up to 10 Zombie Wards, providing a total of 12 bonus AD or 20 AP. Completing the 10 wards grants an additional 6 bonus AD or 10 AP, making the total value of this rune 18 bonus AD or 30 AP.
Gamemodes Without Wards
In game modes that do not allow warding, Ghost Poro and Zombie Ward are automatically swapped for Eyeball Collection to remain useful.
Pros And Cons
When choosing between these runes, consider which one is easier for you to stack and gain value from. All three runes provide equal value once stacked, so the ease of stacking is the determining factor.
Eyeball Collection
Eyeball Collection can be stacked quickly through takedowns. It’s especially useful for champions with abilities that provide easy assists.
Ghost Poro
Ghost Poro relies on placing wards, which takes time to stack. It rewards you for vision and provides extra vision itself. Enemies can remove Ghost Poros by killing them.
Zombie Ward
Zombie Ward allows you to convert enemy wards into your own. It relies on the enemy’s ward placement, making the stacking speed reliant on their ability to ward. Oracle Lens can help clear wards and stack Zombie Wards.
It’s worth noting that Eyeball Collection only provides AD or AP, while Ghost Poro and Zombie Ward continue to provide vision even after being fully stacked.
Which One Is Better?
There is no clear winner among these runes. If you expect the enemy to ward less, Zombie Ward may not be the best choice. Ghost Poro provides guaranteed value but takes longer to stack. Eyeball Collection is the most reliable for AD/AP bonuses, but may be harder to stack if you’re not getting enough kills. Certain items can also assist with stacking these runes.
Conclusion
All three runes offer the same value once completed, but their stacking speeds and benefits differ. The rune you choose depends on your champion and how quickly you need the bonuses to impact the game.
