Well, dodge is worse because you COMPLETELY evade damage. Crit increases damage dramatically but it's not the same kind of thing as someone not getting hit whatsoever.

It also was kind of weird to have a mechanic that only protects against autoattacks, not abilities -- even physical-damage abilities.

(The rumored replacement for dodge, "block", will prevent damage no matter the source (except true damage I presume), but there will be a way to get through people's block instead of being powerless against it the way dodge is.) http://the-nameless.kaiiku-net.com/forums/showthread.php?119-New-The-Block-System-Dodge-Block-Rework-RIOT

I used Dodge runes because they work better with Poppy's passive than armor, but I will gladly trade that for removing Jax's bullshit. I just hope they don't replace it with worse bullshit. (Jax-in-the-boxes )

(Poppy's passive works like so: if she receives damage exceeding 10% of her CURRENT health, the damage above 10% is reduced by half. E.g. 100 damage, having 200 health, would be 20 + .5x80 = 60 damage. But 100 damage, having 900 health, would be 90 + .5x10 = 95 damage.

(So if I'm taking autoattacks with armor runes, then the damage will be less, but the damage mitigation is also less. Whereas if I have dodge runes instead of armor runes, I'll take more damage on most autoattacks (with a little more passive damage reduction), but avoid damage entirely on some autoattacks, therefore getting the most benefit out of both passive and runes.)

I also used them on Leona because she's already going to have ridiculous armor, so why not get a little dodge?

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
