Trundle Accelerated Pace
Although buffed in patch 10.7, only now has Accelerated Pace gradually become the meta for jungle champions. Any melee champion that needs the ability to chase down targets can utilize this rune, and Trundle seems to fit this rune perfectly as it addresses his deadly weakness of poor mobility.
If you play Trundle enough, you understand that his damage is truly broken when his Q – Chomp allows him to steal damage from opponents, while his W – Frozen Domain greatly increases his attack speed and movement speed. However, if the enemy is fast enough to escape this W, you will find it hard to catch up, and Accelerated Pace with its high movement speed will help Trundle completely mitigate this weakness.
Kayle “Marksman”
This angelic character has always been categorized as a “late bloomer” and requires a lot of items and levels to become powerful. However, some players have come up with ideas to accelerate this champion’s power spike, leading to the emergence of the Muramana build. Similar to Corki, this item offers a lot of mana, pure damage, and above all, is very cheap compared to Kayle’s traditional items, priced at only 2400 gold.
Moreover, when using Muramana, you only have pure physical damage from the item, and to maximize this stat, nothing beats the critical strike item build. After Muramana, items like Soul Reaper, Galeforce, and Infinity Edge will make Kayle extremely powerful throughout the mid to late game.
Galio Predator
One of the heaviest nerfs to Galio last year was that when you used his W – Durand’s Shield, you could not Flash, so the only way to land his skill accurately is to hit an enemy with E – Justice Punch or to run really fast. Therefore, in Korean Challengers, some mid-lane players have experimented with the Predator rune to help Galio cast his W effectively and set up easier ganks with the jungler.
Another special point of this build is that you will take Heal instead of the traditional Teleport. The reason is that it interacts so well with the Nimbus Cloak, providing you with a large amount of movement speed since Predator is not always available. Moreover, it helps your jungler escape in skirmishes and creates an excellent snowball effect for the game.
Ezreal Dance of Death
The biggest weakness of marksmen currently is that they die too easily in the mid-game due to not being able to build defensive items early. If you buy defensive items too early, you almost deal no damage in return. However, Ezreal is a very special case because his damage comes from skills, not necessarily from auto-attacks. After completing the two core items, Muramana and Iceborn Gauntlet/Galeforce, you can easily build defensively.
And the strongest choice right now is none other than the Dance of Death, which provides additional AD, lifesteal, and cooldown reduction, all of which Ezreal desperately needs. Meanwhile, the effect of converting a portion of burst damage into damage over time makes this champion, already safe, even harder to kill. The fact that the components of the Dance of Death now include both armor and magic resist is making this item extremely strong for marksmen like Ezreal.
