My only to complaints about the pre-season

This is about the game overall.

1. Damage is way too high on the runes. Slash all the damage on runes down 25% (including scaling) on damage runes except Press the Attack. Press the Attack just needs to lose the burst proc and maybe the allied damage amp. All armor and MR should be increased by 5 across the board or lethality needs to be nerfed back down to its old levels (15 per item instead of 20).

2. Runes reforged in general needs adjustments (mostly buffs for the players). I think everyone should start with at least 4 rune pages now or the price per rune page needs to be dropped to about 3150. Blue essence drops need to be made about 10% higher than what they are currently. Blue essence for leveling up a champion should be reduced significantly (maybe to about 750 for rank 6 and 1250 for rank 7). In 6 levels I have gotten almost only 450 IP champ shards and the essence I have earned is about 2k not including champ shards I haven't disenchanted. That's 2 weeks of play for less than 6k IP. IDK where they got the whole faster than the old system thing. Because currently it just seems much slower and actually more punishing for new players and veterans alike.
