I Do Not Like the New Runes

I feel as though everything could have been fixed easily had the old runes been made 100% free to purchase for everyone.

I do not know the exact correlation between "runes reforged" and the current meta, but I do know that it has significantly handicapped solo players who were once able to carry entire teams to victory.

Champion deaths are at an all time high. Game times are at an all time low. And comebacks are few and far in between. There is almost never a game in which coming back from just one inhibitor lost can be salvaged.

And when comebacks do happen, it's because the enemy team threw...hard.

I cannot recall the last time I went into champion select thinking, "This is going to be fun."

Instead, I enter champ select thinking, "Which of these idiots are going to cost me the game?"

I never had those thoughts about allies before. Before these runes, I figured even if someone on my team does bad, I can compensate...I've done it before.

I feel like these runes have created the most toxic season ever. Players can no longer solo carry and it's because someone on their team messes up and does so badly to ruin the experience for 4 others.
