Basic Runes every player should have

Hey I just saw a post about the prices of Runes and how stupid high they are. I agree. Runes are really pricy for a new player who is trying to get himself new champs.

I also saw posts in the past of players asking which runes they should get.

So I figured I'd just make a quick list of what runes people should go for if they started from zero. Now, this list is from me, therefor could be wrong since I'm not high elo or anything, but I've been playing the game for nearly 4 years and I believe I have my way around them.

These are basic sets that are popular in various standard rune sets. Obviously if you found an op af Movement speed quint rune page for Garen, then go ahead and buy movement speed quints, otherwise, stick to these:

Quints

  • Physical damage
  • Ability power
  • Attack speed
  • Armor penetration

Marks (Reds)

  • Magic penetration
  • Physical damage
  • Armor penetration
  • Attack speed

Seals (Yellows)

  • Armor
  • Scaling armor
  • Scaling health

Glyphs (Blues)

  • Magic resistance
  • Scaling magic resistance
  • Cooldown reduction
  • Scaling cooldown reduction

EXAMPLE BUILDS

_For most cases, Adcs should go for the following: _

  • 3x Attack speed Quints
  • 9x Attack damage Reds
  • 9x Armor Seals
  • 9x Magic resistance Blues

This is what a typical, basic bruiser build should be:

  • 3x Physical damage Quints
  • 9x Physical damage Quints
  • 9x Armor Yellows OR 4x Armor Yellows + 5x Scaling health Yellows
  • 9x Magic resist Blues

And this is a standard AP mid build:

  • 3x Ability power Quints
  • 9x Magic penetration Reds
  • 9x Armor yellows
  • 9x Magic resist Blues** OR** 4x Magic resist blues + 5x Scaling cooldown Blues

These are examples, but I encourage people to look for guides on internet. Most will tell you to use these runes.

AMA.

I literally just have four pages for my different champs:

Full AD - 22 AD Full Crit Damage - 47% Crit Damage Full Attack Speed - WiP but 30% so far Wizard Stuff - 26 AP and 10 magic pen

All I need tbh

Yeah, I have 20 pages but use around 4 of them often, and 4 seldomly when I play other roles than Jungle and Top.

I made a full Scaling AD rune page (+52 AD at level 18) for Zed at some point because I wanted to try the 1000 AD build I saw on Youtube. Pretty hilarious.
