FYI, if you don't want to keep your rune box open in game you can just press C to quickly take a glance, exactly like how you check your range, lifesteal, and hidden character stats currently :)

Since we're leaving the old system behind, what is your favorite rune that is about to be retired? What about your all time favorite mastery?

Why is Phase Shift being left in such an undertuned state... I don't understand why it was intentionally left at it's lowest possible functional values during release.

"MS" is highlighted in the example for keywords. Is that really something that needs further explanation (in contrast with AD/AP which are also abbreviations)?

Do all damage Runes have a damage tracker? Because that'd be awesome for comparing what works best.

Sparkle, why don't you guys make the locked rune pages locked to one tree each rather than to each specific rune within the tree?

So i was checking runes from support perspective and what i could potentially do with them and my question is what are takedowns? Are assists included?

according to wiki: "A takedown is a champion kill, assist or a turret kill that a champion attains in League of Legends."

the reason im asking is because precision and domination trees have alot of runes related to takedown, but if those takedowns mean only killls as support i find them way too unreliable.

The system definitely needs some sort of indicator during champion select for what Keystone people are planning to bring into the match.

As it stands, all too often I see the Marksman and the Support both take Press the Attack, even though it doesn't stack.

When we ping things like Magical Footwear, does the game say the time until the boots arrive?

What time exactly does this patch come out?

Will we be able to view the setup for the 5 pre-made pages? I mean I assume we can but wanting to be sure.

Hey

So did You guys consider the bonus ap/ad/as/hp that you get for each tree, be made like so you could allocate them as you like? For example for sorcery you get 10ad/15ap (i dont know i guess that much) adaptive. What if as a mage i want the 10 ad early game and the ap later on? Or what if you guys would give points instead of raw stats? That way i could allocate them like so:+5ad for CSing and +10ap for poking? or +10ad until 10minutes after that +15ap? Thoughts?
