Since the whole point of AR pen runes was nerfed and made useless, refund lethality/hybrid pen runes

Hybrid pen and AR pen runes existed to be strong early game stats. Since they were nerfed, let us refund them. I will never use Hybrid pen runes again, especially since Akali scales better with AD now and buffs have negative armor making hybrid pen runes even less appealing on Elise and other junglers who could have considered them.

They were already ridiculously overpriced to begin with. It's unfair to have us waste ~10,000 IP on 2 sets of useless runes.

IMHO they should not nerf weak runes... only items because runes is are good for early games.

Honestly they should have left runes exactly the same and kept the lethality changes to items. Runes were 100% fine. They had competition with AD/AS and were comparable in gold efficiency. The reason ARpen on items was broken was because they were putting it on items that were 100% gold efficient without their strong passives/actives. Instead of toning that down and actually attributing a cost with ARpen, they just nerfed the shit out of it by making it lethality.

And made the whiny adcs happy. Arpen wasnt OP in RunePages. Its the items that broke it.

They should always just refund runes when they do things like this. It doesn't bother me because I have a ton of IP built up, but this blows for anyone still trying to build pages.

Hybrid pen runes are borderline pointless now.

Champs that take hybrid pen don't actually build armor pen items. Hybrid pen is no longer useful if the physical half of it is dumpstered early game.

Can't fix it either because any sort of number buff would just have them supercede the regular version of the pen rune.

Oh well they were good while they lasted.

Lol, armor pen runes were not strong early. AD was stronger early on every champ besides Hecarim and you took Armor Pen instead if you wanted a stronger mid game.

Lethality is not weaker than arpen. It scales better but is slightly weaker early. I actually believe it's overall stronger than before. If you wanted early dominance you went for AD anyway. Lethality lategame is pretty insane against squishies.
