I'm going to hit level 20 in a match or two and I've been told that I have to buy runes at level 20. How do I pick which ones to buy? I play mid, jungle, and top, and the champions I play are AP and tanks if this info helps.
3ofGot40ve4 votesBasic AP:
Marks: x9 Magic Pen Seals: x9 Armor (x9 scaling health is also good on risk takers like kat) Glyphs: x9 Flat mr (x9 AP is good when vs AD Lane) Quints: x3 AP
For ad Junglers like Lee, You want to go:
Marks: x9 AD Seals: x9 Armor Glyphs: x9 Flat or scaling MR. Depends on if you have an early or late game champ Quints: x3 AD (x3 Attack speed is good on champs with a passive that activates on hit, such as Yi and Warwick.)
Top lane runes are basically the same as the jungle ones, depending on who you play. For people like singed, many like to bring along Mana regen blues. But you don't really need to get into that unless you get any more rune pages, which I highly recommend you do, whether you get them with IP or RP. If you are going to spend money on runes, it might be worth it to go the extra way and purchase the 7 Rune Page bundle. Using anymore RP on rune pages after that is unnecessary IMO.
If you have any other questions or want any tips on certain champions and their runes you can add me in game. IGN: fishingl3g3nd

Mr Vulcanator1 votesI can only equip seven armor pen runes.
3ofGot40ve1 votesYou will unlock more as you level up. Just get 9 of them and update them as you level up
Spaceman5pff2 votesFor AP Tanks I would reccomend Red ones (Marks) - Magic Pen Yellow ones (seals) - Armor (flat, not per-level) Blue ones (glyphs) - Magic Resist (flat or per level up to you m8 Big ones (quintessences) - Ability Power
Outside of that i would say a starter set for runes would be 9x AD Mark 9x Magic Penetration Mark 9x Armor Seal 9x Magic Resist Glyph 3x AP Quint 3x AD Quint
Basically what this gets you is an AD rune page and an AP rune page, with this you will not be lacking decent runes for any champ (although there are more optimal choices for some this will cover all your bases well enough)
Mr Vulcanator1 votesI meant that I play AP champions and tanks that may or may not be AP. I also play Rek'Sai.
Spaceman5pff1 votesI would say then to get your armor and Mr runes first, then decide if you want to finish your ad or ap page first.
LF Annie1 votesall runes. jk, for most part, flat/scaling armor yellow's. flat/scaling magic resist blue's. ad/ap reds, and whatever quints you can afford, assuming you can afford any.
Vesarixx1 votesJust buy AD reds, armor yellows and magic resist blues, use these for both pages you have, and for quintessences use AD on the first one and AP on the second, these 2 should allow you to play pretty much any role or champ until you can save up for more pages. Hopefully Riot does something about the cost of Runes soon.
Weathered1 votesI suggest
Glyphs: 9xFlatCDR, 9xFlatMR, 9xScalingMR Seals: 9xFlatArmor, 9xScalingHP Marks: 9xFlatAD, 9xArmorPen, 9xMagicPen Quints: 3xFlatAP, 3xFlatAD, 3xFlatAS, 3xFlatMS
This should cover pretty much everything. Tanks, assassins, adc's, mages, etc
