Am I the only one that doesn't like doing runes?

It's legit not a fun aspect of the game for me. Not enough that I'd quit the game over it but enough to write a useless post that will undoubtedly have 0 effect on the development of the game. I don't know if it's the concept itself or the execution. There's little if any underlying logic to the system, so none of the options can be derived from the overall theme of the tree. The end result for me is that they're like this big wad of gum I'm expected to pass through my mental digestive system before every game. But at the same time they're just strong enough that I'm at a sizeable disadvantage if I ignore them. A real pickle if I've ever seen one.

I guess I like the idea that I can "customize" my champion but the process just isn't enjoyable for me. I wonder if the whole system isn't just bloat and the game would be better off without it. I don't know. I also always choose noban in champ select so maybe I just like simplicity more than the average player. Experience tells me that's the reason but I'm holding out hope I've expressed a wildly popular opinion we all never realized we had, gaining massive upvotes, more than this board has ever seen in boards history. I become a legend, an icon. the "runes post guy". My name and story are sung at the next Worlds, live by Mako. He does that weird speech impediment with his r's twice as much, as per my request. He's now the best man at my wedding. My wife was one of the hundreds of egirls who after that fateful day I wrote this post, swooned with cute kawaii-inspired emotes whenever they came across my boards presence. Little did I know that in 5 years we would go through an ugly divorce, taking half my money with alimony. I lose custody of 2 of the 3 children, I only get to keep the one neither of us like. She goes on to start a streaming career and after several twitch TOS violations is forced to become a youtube drama commentator. It was the best of times, it was the worst times, but on quiet nights on that ranch, when the moon is half full, I can still remember that rune post on the boards and the egirls with their cute kawaii emotes, and Mako doing that weird thing with his r's that emo girl singers do to try to sound unique, and I smile, with a twinkle in my eye. And all I want to do is stand on the edge of the rye, pushing those kids back into the rye field or whatever Salinger was talking about.
