New Runes Are worse?

It's day 1, chill. You are just not use to change because we had the other runes for 2 years straight.

The new rune system is WAY better than how it was previously. You just need to play around with things so you understand what each rune does and how each rune interacts in the game. There's so much more freedom, and it's unlocked for everyone instead of hiding behind an IP cost and level system.

From a gamedesign point of view: The new Runes are way better. The old runes system was extremely confusiong for someone who just got started. However I'll miss the diversity of Rune Choices. (Going yolo AP - Full Armor - Max CDR and so on.)

I find games last WAY shorter now cause these runes however it also brought back some of the more hated champions in community COUGH COUGH They made tanks VERY obselete i dont see much point in going tank now because of these runes

So far, yes they are worse. For only being allowed 9 pages instead of 20 its very restricting, forcing you to build more general pages rather than specific. Not to mention the loss of stats from the old runes themselves. I'm sure smurfs will be used to this without having runes to buff you but my champions just feel softer
