Domination is the only rune tree that only really has one keystone being used in Competitive

Resolve: Aftershock, Guardian (Grasp is very rare)

Sorcery: Arcane Comet and Summon Aery (Phase Rush on Aurelion Sol)

Inspiration: Kleptomancy, Unsealed Spellbook and Glacial Augment (on Tahm Kench, but rather rare)

Precision: Fleet Footwork, Press the Attack and Lethal Tempo (both rather rare on champs like Jax jungle or Kalista)

Domination: if anything, then Electrocute and only on Jarvan IV

Where is the love for Dark Harvest and/or Predator?

Not everything has to be balanced around competitive. Dark Harvest is typical soloq rune, where you can afford to sacrifice your early in order to stack it and be more useful after somewhat around 200 stacks. And Predator is garbage, not even Hecarim who is supposed to abuse it, does have highest winrate using other runes.

Predator is just.. awful garbage, i've yet to see ANYONE take this, not only competitive but soloq games aswell. Worst keystone besides lethal tempo maybe

As for dark harvest its not that bad but usually there are just better choices for competitive, its decent enough otherwise though.

What I find strange is that how late games go in competative these days dark harvest should be a better choice then electrocute

it’s a risk though, if the enemy team gets a good snowball and tries to push fast (most of liquids games so far) then your rune choice is left obsolete

it's kinda decent on skarner but unsealed spellbook is just better

Also, dark harvest is a smurfs favourite IIRC

Lethal tempo is good on Kalista because it’s hard to kite her

Dark Harvest is OP OP in aram

Completely agree, but in Competitive, it has no use whatsoever. Same for Predator

You can‘t rely on farming to 200 stacks, I think it was 200 where Dark Harvest outscales electrecute

you can proc dark harvest multiple times in a fight as long someone actually dies though

because the domination tree has 2 runes extremely suited for jungle champions, Dark ahrvest being for bruisers/scaling assassins, and predator being for movement speed related champions like hecarim or ww. right now the jungle meta for competitive is tank champs who use the resolve keystones like aftershock. they need to add another keystone to domination that opens up more to fighters or non junglers.

I feel like Predator and Dark Harvest are just too risky for competitive. Electrocute is just safer and easier to use. Plus, a lot of champions that want Dark Harvest or Predator are not really viable in competitive.

Predator is supposed to be good on a few champs but its honestly trash, hecarim is better off taking aftershock or electrocute than that

Domination runes received the harsher nerfs on the pre season and this meta is not very good for assasin type champs that take the most advantage of these runes. Buffing them now could be a mistake cause soon, hopefully, riot will make the game more agressive creating a space for assasins to abuse a op rune that wasn't a problem before.
