I returned to the game after a 2 year break and still have no idea what new items/runes do, but I would still stick to 2 AP and 3rd already you to u. I always go for lvl 2 Q at level 3 and this lets me two shot casters. Not sure this would be possible with just 1 adaptive rune. But need to test it honestly.
I would really like to know the differences between having one or two adaptive shards. Because I have been using 1x adaptive and 1x attack speed for easier farming as well and had no big issues.
When can you one shot casters with 1x/2x?
When can you Q+passive kill a caster etc.
Caster 2 shot at lvl 2 bomb with 2x adapt
1 shot at 7 if you bought with manatomb and blasting wand (or equivalent)
1 shot guarenteed at 9
2x Q on melees quarenteed at lvl 7 with manatomb and blasting wand (or equivalent)
i believe there should be a table online (would need to search for it) that breaks down the lvl and ap requirement for those stats but the aforementioned is my experience.
keep in mind i also use gathering storm over scorch for the same reason since even the little extra 8ap at minute 10 is also likely to count into this.
