League of Legends: Fans praise Riot Games for removing the Deadly Tempo gem

The information that the Deadly Tempo gem will be officially removed in version 14.10 makes many fans happy.

Patch 14.10 is approaching League of Legends and is marked as one of the most important updates for the game this season. In particular, players paid special attention to this great edit when Riot Games announced that it would remove the Deadly Tempo gem. Fans are very excited to wait for the new version because of the above changes.

League of Legends players have begun discussing Riot’s removal of runes and what this change means for the meta. On Reddit, one player commented: “Feeling a very good balance angle when they removed Deadly Tempo – best change so far.” Some others added: “Characters that are weak in the Early Game like Yasuo and Yone, or even Kayle can beat Darius and Olaf if they have Deadly Tempo.” Most fans agree that this Rune has caused many champions to eliminate their major weaknesses and make them overpowered when it comes to approaching you.

The most important thing is the impact this version has on the Gunner class. Characters that rely heavily on this Rune, such as Jinx, Caitlyn, Tristana, Ashe or Vayne, all love Deadly Tempo to compensate for their lack of attack speed when they don’t have many items. At the same time, it also increases the shooting range so they can keep a safe distance.

Of course, not only the Gunner is affected, but many other famous generals are also affected. For example, Kayle, Tryndamere or Jax will be forced to change their play style when Deadly Tempo is no longer available.

The lower lane is not one to be feeling the change, as some top characters like Kayle, Tryndamere and Jax also rely on the Lethal Tempo rune for their play style. Removing it will definitely force players to switch to more powerful runes and may push them away from building attack speed.

“I will miss the feeling of being able to exceed the attack speed limit on Varus, after killing someone, reactivating my passive and becoming extremely powerful,” said one player. Other players feel that the removal of Deadly Tempo is a bit excessive because it reduces the player’s experience when playing characters that require a lot of attack speed.

In the past, Deadly Tempo has also received many nerf updates, even slight reworks. But Riot Games still feels that’s not enough because it continues to grow in popularity. Besides, this powerful Rune point has caused many champions to ignore attack speed equipment and focus on damage when having runes to compensate for the lack of attack speed.
