Runes or champs?

So I've started to try and be serious about climbing the ladder a bit (want to hit gold at least) and went from bronze 3 to silver 4 in the last few weeks or month. Trying to decide if I should add a champ I might like to my ranked pool for variation so I don't burn out, or make my runes better?

My current ranked pool when I'm serious is Heim mid/top, Nunu jg, Janna support, and not playing ADC. I'm considering buying Kennen to play top/mid/maybe support, maokai top/jungle, or ziggs mid/can he top? The other option is to change the page I use for heimer in 90% of my games w/ him (he's probably about 60-70% of my ranked games when I'm serious about climbing)

Main Heimer rune page is Mpen reds/Flat HP yellows/Scaling AP blues/Flat AP quints. Thinking of switching in 9 scaling HP yellows for the flat ones. Not sure if this is a huge difference or not, and was hoping for some input from others about if it was worth getting a new champ that could play a couple roles, or throwing in scaling instead of flats? (Also feel free to throw out suggestions on a champ if you think I should buy one. I may spam Morg or Lulu to get comfortable w/ adding them top/mid/support if I buy runes and not champ)

Runes. Almost every champion is viable. if you have the base amount of champions that you can play, get runes, and allow yourself to play better on those champions. when you're in a solid spot there, grow the champ pool, then optimize its runes. repeat.

If you wanna climb, find what you're good at, then give yourself the best opportunities available, which are based on good runes and masteries.

You should have at least 3 champions for your major roles and 2 for others. If you have that much, fix all of your rune pages.
