Very disappointed in the new rune shards

Not allowing me to take AD for last hitting/harass on AP champions...why? Why is it littered with noob traps like the CDR runes? Why can't I take any straight stats like on the old system (you could go straight armor for all your runes and get like 27 bonus armor at level 1)?

Why does the whole rune shard system feeling like a big illusion of choice? It's almost like riot is saying "look, your can choose which stats you want now!" except you really can't, because 50% of them suck major balls and the other 50% are what you'd be getting anyway with the season 8 system, except nerfed.

But those same AP champs haven't been able to take AD for last hitting for the past year. Wouldn't getting it now just mess up your CSing?

how about that juicy 15 hp huh? ;) oh but at level 15 you get half a ruby crystal worth of hp... WELL WORTH THE WAIT. It's a mess, the values make 0 sense 10 adaptive is 210g-217g of stats which you get at level 1 9% att speed is 200g of stats which you get at level 1 5 armor is 100g of stats and 6 MR is 108g of stats both at level 1 1%-10% cdr is 26-260g worth of stats at levels 1-18 so to even out with the offensive counterparts you need to be level 16+ and now the worst choice by a fucking mile 15-90 hp which translates to 39-240gold worth of HP. so to even out gold wise you need to be level 15.

Oh and by the way, resolve+inspo used to give 300hp at level 18... just saying.

two worthless troll options doesn't downplay the fact that we can all take 5 armor/MR at lvl 1

the only thing BAD the did with the runes was actually TOUCHING the runes outside of this change

and obvoiusly the 10% cdr at lvl 18 and the 90 hp are pathetic. but it doenst change the fact that we got 5 armor/ MR

well you can go 10 armor or 12 mr if you want

or 20 adaptive force or 10% cdr at lvl 18, but the cdr still works with transcendence and cosmic insight

for example start get the game with 5 cdr from cosmic insight then get another 10 cdr by level 18 for 15 cdr then you can get 30 more cdr via items to cap out at 45% cdr

or if you go transcendence you get 10% cdr @ lvl 10 + 10% cdr at lvl 18 giving a free 20% cdr where now you really just need 20 cdr to max at 40% and anything you go over gives you free adaptive stats.

seems like good options for tanks/casters and mages
