I wouldn't hate the new runes as much if it didn't totally trivialize the laning phase

It's no longer about smart lane control, prepping waves, gathering small advantages to edge out the enemy. Now it's just whoever can abuse a broken, non interactive mastery the most while pushing waves asap so you can roam.

Dam, so when keystones like TLords was broken it wasn't the same thing? Or how about pre Armor Seal Buffs where everyone was required to bring them.

I agree. My fave is when they 4v1 a turret and get it under 6 minutes. Always good times.

The only champion's who laning phase I despise going up against (with these new runes) is Gangplank. Kleptomancy is just too good on him, imo.

I agree. Everyone does so much damage that laning basically consists of grabbing as much CS as possible before level 3 when they all in and you either win the game or lose it then and there.

Top lane feels pretty much the same as always to me, at least until a jungler decides to camp it, or until one side of bot lane wins and starts a tower taking spree across the map.
