So I just hit lvl 20... Runes!?

first off get flat armor yellows and flat MR blues these are fairly standard for most rune pages be it AD, AP, caster or attack speed and are basically never a bad option especially for blind pick.

After that get AP quints, AD quints, magic penatration Reds and flat AD reds

These will at least cover all champs to some degree since all champs have a use for AD in auto attacks and abilities or AP for abilities.

First 2 pages should be marked as AD and AP AD: flat AD reds, Flat armor Yellows, Flat MR blues and Flat AD quints AP:Magic pen reds, Flat Armor yellows, Flat MR blues and Flat AP Quints.

After that get whatever you feel the need for since different champs will often use different pages.

I will suggest also saving up for at least 3 or 4 more rune pages at some point once you have a good idea of what you tend to like playing since they can help for champs who have a kinda weird page setup and you might find yourself using a page really unique for say support which has somewhat of an opening for different quints then AD and AP.

EDIT: I don't know if you want to make tier 3 rune pages just yet. Making two full tier 3 rune pages with little to no common runes might cost tens of thousands of IP. Which is not THAT much but it's grindy. You would enjoy the game more / get better at the game from taking just normal tier 1 runes, and using your IP to buy new champs and learn the game.

Dying to Wukong because you don't know what his abilities do and you used all your burst on his clone is worse than having tier 1 runes.

You can fill up your tier 3 runes before ranked at level 30.

ANYWAY.

GENERALLY you want to have at least two all-purpose rune pages: AP and AD.

AD page:

-Flat AD reds. -Flat armor yellows. -Scaling MR blues. -Movespeed quints.

AP page:

-Hybrid penetration reds. -Scaling HP yellows. -Flat AP blues. -Flat AP quints.

. . . NOW, **people are gonna disagree ** and say how you need 3 attack speed reds for ADCs or how CDR blues are better on Syndra or how Tryndamere needs some crit chance, but GENERALLY, the above runepages will cover almost every champion in the game.

While they may not be perfect for every situation, once you finish them up, you'll be good enough that shit that happens in game (like dying once or missing a few farm) will have more impact than your runes. . . .

I had a friend who played with tier 1 runes of the wrong stat (he didn't care, used IP for champions) and wrecked lane all the time, just by playing properly. Even against golds and sometimes low plats (he played with plat friends).

Once you get more experienced at your champions/the game you'll probably start making more specialized runepages. Especially for champions that scale with attack speed like Udyr and Skarner, and tanks like Shen or Mundo.

I'd take MR Glyphs(blue) and armor seals(yellow) AD marks(red) and AD quints(big ones.) AD is always useful for both AD and AP champions.

Magic pen marks and AP quints after those are finished are pretty standard for an AP rune page, but if you're having trouble CSing, it may be better to just keep AD runes.

Id say AS Quints AD Marks flat armor seals 6 flar mr and 3 scaling mr glyphs

for ap the only difference is AP Quints Magic pen marks seals are same glyphs are same

Buy all the Tier 3 discount ones. Huge bang for your buck, then you can worry about getting the more expensive ones for specific champions later.

Thanks all!
