And now for the best runes and item in patch 10.12:
Best runes this patch in order:
Glacial Augment
Conqueror
Guardian
Dark Harvest / Hail of Blades
Best Items in game this patch:
Death’s Dance & Stormrazor
Something to try out in your ranked games:
Right now Crit items are very expensive and non-efficient as other damage items so, here is ‘Leth Cait”. This build path and rune set is actually very fun and over all useful both early game due to how much of a bully Caitlyn is and late game at half to even full build. Enjoy~
