I think that is so hard to rank up an account to level 20 without runes. The game is so hard to have fun without runes. I have calculated that it would have to take approximately 110 won games of norms just to get to level 20. If we are saying that each game takes around 35 minutes then it would take you about 2.7 days just to get to level 20. Don't you think like that is a lot. I am happy riot is somewhat taking in this to consideration by testing this on the Russian servers. But I would totality agree if riot decided to change up the way you gain exp.

I dunno. Part of the level up process is to learn enough to be decent when you start playing ranked. Even after thousands of games some people are still gold, sometimes lower

Yea I agree. But maybe there should be an amount of games you have to play to be able to play ranked and just get rid of the leveling system entirely. But this might make new players not want to continue the game because they wont be able to get any progress. For some people the only reason the game is fun at the begging is the leveling system. So these are things that Riot will have to think about when they decide to finally change it if they do.

The ranking system and leveling system don't play nice with eachother. In fact, these systems make a lot of people give up on league of legends pre 30, because if you win a few games, you'll find yourself paired with players that have more summoner spells, more mastery points to spend, and some that stupidly buy runes before they can get tier 3 runes. The game already gives you zero player feedback as to what you're doing right or wrong in a game, so this on top of it makes a lot of new players want to not play the game because they think they're bad, and may not necessarily know that they're being paired with players that inherently have more power from the leveling system than they do. And that's not to mention the smurf accounts of bronzies that can't get out of their division all the way of to people in diamond that want to inform new players of their place in the universe: beneath their boot.

Overall, there are a LOT of things Riot needs to rework outside of champion mechanic interactions, or even Summoner's Rift itself. A lot of these mechanics used to work when the game was in its infancy, but now it's time this game grew up with its player base. But, no, Riot is more concerned with making new and interesting champion concepts, instead of fixing things like the ranking system, leveling system, rune system, the store half the time doesn't even work, the death recap system usually has some pretty inaccurate and ultimately useless information, and there is no good tutorial on how to play league of legends, so you get players that are in bronze and lose games because they just weren't taught how important cs, objectives, and warding are before they go into ranked. Yeah, some people learn it themselves, but others don't learn mechanics and strategies in the same way. The tutorial says, "you get gold for doing these things, you get attacked by these things, you move and attack by clicking, your abilities are mapped to q, w, e, and r, now you know how to play Ashe, you're on your way to diamond."

Yeah, this game is good in some ways; they usually keep some relatively stable balance between champions at all times that aren't big launches, and can be fun to play. However, there are some big problems with it that Riot needs to answer for.

Then get yourself some Tier 1/2 runes. 100 IP for basic sets of AD and AP runes helps more than nothing at all.

Then you those runes wont help you at all in the long run. Maybe if you could sell back runes for half price or something.

I think 2 or 3 games worth of IP is well worth mitigating the frustration of the grind to level 20. It won't help as much once you're able to buy T3 runes, but the journey should be a much more enjoyable experience when you're already ahead of all the other people not buying T1/2 runes pre-20.

Riot isn't going to change it unless they take huge hit in players. It's been this way for as long as most players can remember, and Riot is too lazy to fix the big problems in the game... well, only the ones that affect the balance of the game. Very rarely do they actually try to fix a system that's broken in the game.

You're right not to buy runes until lv 20... the runes pre 20 are worthless, especially because their system that allows you to exchange them is horrible. Sorry to say, Riot probably isn't going to listen.
