Can we please revamp runes?
They seem so out of place and unfair in the current state of League. Like a relic from the past.
Let's discuss what we think runes should be changed into, or maybe they wont even be changed at all?

Tier 3 runes just need to be cheaper across the board.
They literally only picked five types of runes to make cheaper, and of those five you can only really make a functional fighter/bruiser page due to only having AD reds. (I mean, you can use AD reds on AP champions, but they're not exactly optimal in most cases and are just a crutch for last-hitting most of the time.)
The other runes types don't need to be discounted as much as the 'starter' ones, but frankly they could stand to be a good bit cheaper. Especially the 2050 quints and 810 runes. 6150/7290 IP for stats is ridiculous when you consider that this is the same currency you buy champions with, and 4800/6300 IP champions constitute roughly half the roster.
This won't ever meaningfully change, though, because the business model is intended to get people who read into runes to buy champions with RP.
How about just removing the rune system entirely? I've never understood why this game has such an outdated system in place, while all around it everything is being changed and made bigger and better.
Did you know they don't even take the runes into account when balancing champions anymore? Zed with attack damage and crit runes across the board is actually insanely overpowered, against AP champs.
