Too many champions for too few rune pages

Ω Lemuchi Ω··3 votes·744 views

Why is there a limit to how many rune pages you can have? personally i'd like to have one rune page minimum per champ, cuz i LOVE customizing stuff, but i can't do that with only 25 rune pages, nor can i make many different builds for multiple champs because that means it'll take up rune page spots from other champions, which is annoying, and it forces me to limit myself in things i try unless i delete potential rune pages i'd rather keep...

Honestly think a better system for managing rune pages would be something similar to how item sets layout is set up, where u can specify what champion you want it to be for etc. etc.

Well, its not that hard to make a runepage before the match. This is not exactly rocket science with the new runes.

That is very true, but lets say if i have filled out all those 25 pages with runes for both a group of champions and specific champions that i would like to keep, that would mean i'm required to get rid of one of those pages i'd rather keep to play another build i wanna try out, and i try out stuff all the time, which means i would have to keep making changes to things i'd rather have stay as it is because i'm forced to do so by limits in page amounts, and that also means i can't keep a build i like because i simply don't have any room for it

Yes get rid of one runepage. One! Call it "Aram" "Testfield" or "Al".

Take that for all those not 24 runepages you use. Everytime you have to not use your runepage, use this one, change it in those 60 seconds.

Profit!

You don't need more rune pages when only 20 champs are viable. Play the OP champs right gives you or lose. Your choice.

Every single champion in the game can be fun in their own way, while u can get by with only a few pages, it still limits u if u want to go above that, like me.

And OP or generally viable champs dosen't mean they are fun to play, thats why u try to make interesting builds both pre-game and ingame which makes them more interesting, so would be a waste of time to use it on something i don't like :P

I would, if i wasn't the type of person that likes taking my time with customizing and figuring out different ways to go about things, sure i could whip up something on the spot before a match but i only have so much time before a match to think about what i wanna try together which kinda removes a bit of what i like in trying different things and going through the thoughts of why i want it to be like that and so on

For mastery pages, I used to have exactly six - one for each of the possible combinations of mastery trees.

With that, I would always only need to use left clicks to assign my masteries on the fly. 15 seconds or less total time needed.

I usually only take around 15s to make a page from scratch You should try it

For the new runes? I already do :)

No, I meant with old masteries.

That works, and is a way to get by, but i'm not asking for a way to get by, thats not my point with the comment, its why is there even a limit in the first place to how many rune pages u can have?

I have all champions and i got nothing to use blue essence on thats worth it, except for the rune pages, but that has a limit.

It might work completely fine for u and a bunch of other ppl out there, but then u have the ppl like me that like to save it if they find something they like instead, and not having to constantly change ur rune pages because u're gonna be playing another champion or just to try out a completely new build

Get your VISA, Mastercard, and/or American Express.

I've just resorted to creating a new page for each game more or less. The new masteries ('runes reforged') are pretty easy to memorize once you go through them enough times. It's a lot simpler than remaking the old 30 point mastery pages was.

The comment was a joke. Given how hard BE comes by now, 6300BE per rune page is silly, but it would've been nice if runes were just like the old mastery pages (20). I had 7 before the update, but I'll be honest, that I usually only use one or two since they're so quick to create (You pick 6 abilities, and most of the time you default to the same idea).

Thats true, but would be nice to have a way to actually save them aswell

Runes are so situational now that having a separate page per champion would be more confusing than anything else. If you hadn't played a specific mage in a while and you had forgotten that the last time you played that champion was into a Syndra or LeBlanc, you could easily forget that you had the page set to 'nullifying orb' when you'd prefer 'manaflow band' in most matchups.

You're better off just getting into the habit of adjusting your pages every match regardless, so having an absurd number of rune pages is more likely to make things more confusing, not less.

U're right it could get more confusing, but why not have the option there for those that want to go into it? If i hadn't played someone in a while i could always change on the page, no harm in that. Saying i like to save pages dosen't mean i don't do changes to them, it just means i like to save it as a general direction to go for with that champion and build i wanna go for with them at that moment

I do change on them depending on who i meet, what i feel like and so on, but there is pages there for a reason, so u can save preset builds if u feel like doing it, i have always gone for the max amount of mastery pages and been the most comfortable with doing it that way cuz i like a lot of options.
