The Runes Reforges was a failure

It was supposed to give more diversity to champions, but you just pick the same runes whenever you play a champ, because some runes ARE better than others in every single way.

The only thing the new runes added was a bigger damagecreep. I mean come on, electrocute will never be balanced. It will either be too strong or too weak.

Just remove the new runes, and give us back the old runes and masteries. The problem with the old runes was simply that they were expensive (like really expensive). Other than that, they worked really good. You could solve all problems by just making them free.

Runes reforged changed league in a huge way. Some people like the fast paced gameplay style.

I for one think it is boring and stale. If I wanted to one shot someone in season 5 I would play veigar, If I want to do it now I pick basically anyone.

Yeah honestly I don't really feel like the new rune system itself is that bad.

I think the rune system is populated by runes that are problematic, most of which need to be remade. But there is a difference between a bad rune system and a good rune system that is just full of bad runes. The system itself could actually be pretty good, because honestly it has a potential to be more than just the boring ass stat check the old one was. It just needs to be filled with better content.

I like the new system. It allows for more customization to fit different situations. Sometimes I’ll get defensive runes to make it through lane phase. Other times I’ll go all out with damage.

I do think they need to make/remake some of the runes so they can not be a “oh I’ll only use this in a very specific situation” type rune and make them all more regular to use.

The current rune system maybe "bad", but to remind you, this was pretty much a "prototype" (meaning they had no clue how things would land as time went on) system they threw in to help newer players be able to get themselves accustom to the game without the unnecessary expenses of every bloody rune you had to buy, and the bazillion rune pages you had to buy (Although two seems rough for a newer player, then again you simply just have to change the page every time you use it for something else). I was all for for the rune system, and I honestly expected right out of the gate, "This is gonna be a rough system to deal with". Just take a look at this post, and tell me that Riot HASN'T learned from all the issues from the system itself. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/developer-corner/H9b9Ekqw-league-gameplay-changes-over-the-next-few-months

And people say Riot doesn't care about the fans. They are human beings like us, which means for anyone bitching "They have all the answers in the world to fix everything wrong" I ask this; Is it humanly possible as a group or as a individual to have the answers to everything?
