Riot Plz 2017 plans: Question about Runes and Masteries

Skorch··1 votes·612 views

It sounds like you want Masteries and Runes to be more in game than stats. Meaning if there is say a +5% Damage to Epic monsters quint or something. It will make your playstyle play more objectively. And while im interested to see how that turns out. I DO enjoy how runes are mainly a early game difference in stats, rather than having a large impact throughout the whole game. The pre-game IS impactful right now, Why do you think people complain about Masteries being a large problem. When Courage came out, the jungle shifted to champions that use Courage, thats pretty impactful in my opinion (while not balanced at the time it is still an example of an EXTREME case.)

Also while you did mention that newer players are struggling to afford Runes you didnt mention anything about actually changing that. You just went into more detail about making them more impactful and not the actual price issue part of it. Was that just a point you didnt mention in the video? ARE they getting changed so they are more affordable?

On the other points in the video: REALLY excited to see the new honor system and curious what the rewards will be. And even more excited for the competitive ranked teams with friends.

I'm pretty sure it was implied that they were going to reduce the cost or make them easier to obtain in some way.

Yeah but they didnt talk about it at all. It was like: "A lot of you are saying the cost is too expensive for new players. But at the same time we want it to be more impactful by doing..." Why did he say "But at the same time" I mean it sounds like they are either working on both, or mainly focusing on reworking it.

How they stated it was kind of weird and vague.

On cost, what will happen with runes already purchased. I just finished level 30, and want to take a crack at ranked. However, I don't want to spend all my IP on runes if they are going to be revamped in two months. I know I'll get killed in ranked without appropriate runes, though. Should I just wait so I can get put into an appropriate rank (I have heard of the bottomless pit that is the bronze category)
