Thanks for pointing this out. This is because some champions were created "sharing" upgrade lines - so when you change one other champions change unknowingly. Fixed for next patch.
every champ with spark curse should at least have static greeting or shock, its currently on 2 champs who dont even have access to shock on champs within there themes. (arroyo storm orb and shock crone) they are paying for the shock curse ability while gaining no benefit from it.
spark crone has to take surge kanen in theme, taking shock on the upgrade is not optional unless you want a very weak rune. shock should be base. on both the orb and crone.
Spark Curse isn't useless if the unit doesn't have Shocked - runes don't have to be 100% internally synergistic and able to trigger all their own abilities to be viable.
yeah except kanen and arroyo dont even have 1 champion with shock... the ability shouldnt be on these units without them having shock themself or it being common in their themes.(it doesnt exist in their themes...) they pay for the ability and dont benefit from it.
there is no way to build your deck around the ability in kanen or arroyo and even if that was possible thats not how deck building works.(at least if you plan on winning.)
You opt into Spark Curse on Storm Orb if you want to build around it. You don't have to pay for it if you don't want to. I will consider swapping Jolt and Spark Curse on the Crone, but note that Surge: Kanen is probably going away on her (along with most ranged Surge champions).
it doesnt make sense that you have to pay a penalty when you run spark crone in kanens because of a deck it could potentially be run in.(especially when lightning isnt even a competitive or in my opinion "complete" theme) and the arroyo isnt ever going to be run in a lightning/shock theme.(lightning is sp)
If it's bad to run in Kanen. Don't run it in Kanen. It shouldn't matter whether it has Race: Kanen or not. Stop trying to make whatever rune you want to use fit the deck you want to run it in with design changes. Build your deck with the available choices.
ranged units are core to nearly every theme in the game, its not optional to not run it in kanen. at least if you if plan any beating any decent opponents. there is no other ranged unit to subsitute in for spark crone in the kanen theme.(you need about 5-6 ranged champions in almost every deck including kanens in order to be competitive)
In any case, as i said, I will consider swapping Spark Curse off base on the Crone, but I am not putting every Spark Curse unit with something on base to cause Shocked.
