a full page of attack speed runes are 44% attack speed. the problem is that only about 20% of it actually registers. i get a 20% attack speed buff as scarner and my attack speed goes up a LOT while the 44% o get from runes doesnt even make me go above 1.0, 0.9 at most. it just feels bugged to me
This is a result of one of the many invisible mechanics in this game.
The runes give you 44% "Bonus" attack speed. Every champion has a "base attack speed" value which is the first number you see when you mouse over it, and every single attack speed bonus in the game scales based on that.
So if you build two items that give 50% attack speed each, and your base attack speed is 0.6, you'll get another 0.6 from them.
This is further complicated by the fact that every champion gets a certain percent bonus attack speed per level, so it's never going to be clean simple equation.
So if you get 3% bonus attack speed per level, and you have the same values as before, and you're level 5, that's another 15% which would mean you have 1.29 total attack speed.
Also, attack speed caps at 2.5. Just another arbitrary mechanic you might want to keep in mind, since Riot sucks at making their game transparent.
