Ideas to improve the game, personal thoughts on items and runes

Hey Guys! I just wanted to list off my current thoughts on how to improve the game and what my change approaches would be! (Nothing to be too specific)

Let me know what you guys thinks and which ideas you like the best and/or the least.

Items:

Overhaul CDR items to offer less CDR (popular concept on boards atm). Uptime is too high in league at the moment and it makes damage/trading harder to manage in it's current inception.

Buff Magic Resist items slightly.

Rework Sheen and Sheen-Line items (remove it from being a mana based item into a tenacity item); I think it would be nice to have an item that grants tenacity passively but that tenacity increases after hitting a champion with a Basic Attack after casting a spell (reduced for ranged champions) and it can open up this line to more non-mana based champions.

-Item change concepts that can have meaningful changes to gameplay and balance.

Runes:

Overhaul Minor/Major Runes system and Secondary runes.

What I would do is have a 'wheel' system for these runes.

For example there would be 8 runes to choose from below your keystone options and you may choose 2 of those runes in your primary tree (but you cannot choose a rune within X spaces of each other) As for the secondary tree wheel you can only choose ONE rune from that rune wheel.

-Runes are problematic to balance as is and certain combination are more abusable to some champions than others; this will not only make specific abuse cases easier to manage but it can also help to leave room to buff weaker/less used runes and remove some Runes that have overlapping concept and enhance their niche.

If they don't reduce cdr, I'd like to see bashee's veil buffed so we don't have to wait so long for the passive to kick in. Changing sheen to be on tenacity would outright buff several champions who already abuse it, I wouldn't mind seeing another branch that gives tenacity, but making them all do so is too much.

Well the CDR would be effected on that line and it would be less mana for the champs thag it's already good on. But I figured the half/half tenacity would be nice for those champions that wanna get on you and stick, so it could kind of be a slight buff overall.

Banshees buff can be nice, (most) MR items are mediocre or too expensive and hard to work onto a build.

I mean in general, since the beginning the number of items with cdr has doubled. And that's the problem I was getting at, some champions that heavily use trinity force are already an issue for how fast they can get in your face with massive damage, their primary counter being crowd control; and changing the sheen items to offer resistance to that weakness, would make them rather unstoppable short of nuking them first. Also like to see mercury tread's nerf be overturned though.
