Making Runes/runepages cost is anti-fun

Before someone thinks i'm complaining that I don't have such and such item. I have 20 pages, and I have all the tier 3 Runes. I still don't think it's a fun system, but I understand it being the way it was originally, there wasn't a lot of ways to incorporate RP into the game.

     It's been years since this system was implemented, and you have a wide and dynamic source of skins and icons and such for people to unlock for money already.  Most players have lvl 30 friends,  lvl 30's *be it either on their main or smurf* get into these games as well.  The beginning phase of the game is a very dynamic and chaotic element to begin with.  Why make it harder for the less experienced?  Why make them grind to perform at an equal level as others?  It just seems tedious, outdated, and really just not fun.  There's hundreds upon hundreds of dollars worth of content for players to purchase already.  Let them compete on a balanced field, let them not have to spend there early phases grinding ip solely for runes instead of unlocking champions.  *you have over 100 of them*.  

     In absolutely no way would I want a refund on any of my ip boosts/rp used for rune page acquisition or to speed up the gain of IP for runes.  I'm happy with the money that I have invested with you so far, and I will continue to do so.  League is fun because its easier for newer players to get into, so let's take it up a notch!

I agree.

Riot may remove the whole thing after HotS hits and the casualcore market flocks to that game instead.

League is good, but has suffered from a lack of competition.

I honestly think this game would be better if they removed runes and masteries from the game. While I understand that they are meant to increase diversity, but there is always a correct choice. And I don't feel like researching what the correct choices are so I have disregarded them both since the beginning of season 4 so that I can work on acquiring all the Champions

They know. There are no plans of changing this ever.

The point if rune pages is to incentivize spending money. In Riot's early days, this was very important, seeing as how they needed all the money they could get . Now, runes are so entrenched in League that too many people would throw a fut if they were removed (which is what I would like), and since it still brings in money, Riot won't change it on their own, even though they could probably get by perfectly fine without rune page money.
