Just wondering because Tier 3 runes and rune pages are very expensive to purchase so if riot plans on removing runes next season, then I don't want to waste IP on runes/rune pages.
IcyPepper2 votesI'd like it if they were reduced in price, but I think most runes are fine. They provide a degree of customization for your picks. Sometimes you want raw AP over magic penetration, and sometimes you can sacrifice armor/MR for health/AP. And so on and so on.
I, for instance, use HP/mana regen instead of AP runes on Soraka, to compensate for her low hp regen (I believe regen items scale off your base regen, akin to AS items) and thus become a walking Q spamming HP battery, which creates a different playstyle than if I used AP runes like normal.
Karunamon2 votesSo this is probably going to be a dumb newbie question, but how much of an impact do runes really make?
I'm looking at my ADC Marksman page right now, and it gives +12 MR, +8 phs dmg, +9 armor, +15% attack speed.
The rune boosts seem.. miniscule.

I used to have full critical chance hit runes to play with GP , it'd be extremely useful

Pit a level 0 against a similar skilled level 30 (to make it fair and take out all variables, the level 30 uses no masteries).
I would bet 8-9/10 times that the the level 30 will win, and by a landslide early/late depending on the nature of the runes (flat or scaling).
My runes for darius late game give me almost 20 attack damage, 27 MR, 9 armor, and and 6% bonus Max HP. That's actually a lot.
Gold value of AD = 700 Gold value of 27 MR = 486 Gold value of 9 armor = 180 Gold value of hp (too lazy to do this one since I'm dealing with % max hp runes)
I'm getting about 1366 gold worth of stats with my rune page, not including the value of the HP I get from my %HP runes. That's a pretty decent damn chunk of stats.
Squidward Dab1 votesWell if runes didn't exist, every single ap champ would only have a shitty base of 4 ap plus whatever starting item u go so they would have to give compensation to all ap champs. I guess they can give some compensation to ad champs
Duke Anax2 votes8 AD don't seem much, but at level 1 that's about 15% damage increase. Combined with the 15% AS it makes for a very noticable difference when trying to Last Hit minions.
12MR is a whole 30% increase and makes it much harder for the support to poke you.
9 Armor means the enemy adc will probably need one attack more to kill you.
DragonMastaWolfy2 votesIf they ever get rid of the system, they better give me my 2600 Riot points back.
CrazFight 1 votesI think riot is actually looking on how to improve runes right now, they made a recent post about it but unsure of the link.
Tormentula1 votesYou'll probably still have to buy them anyway, I doubt they'd remove the current rune system, rework it? Maybe, but like masteries they won't remove it, just change how it may be organized or put together.
They provide way too many aspects inorder to make the game playable, without armor seals junglers basically wouldn't exist and attack speed ADCs won't last hit efficiently.
Veigarisgod11 votesProbably when the new client gets released. That's just speculation tho.
EpicMusic1 votesHow about masteries?
KoggyStyle1 votescuase ive grinded 6 runes pages and about 180k in runes... there used to be a rune melter too bud :P
Akali is SO HOT1 votesTaking runes out of the game would warp things way too much. They should just make them free instead or cost very little ip
MunchCrunchLunch1 votesrune system is older than league of legend s itself. its freaking ancient. they never touched it. more than half the runes are not useable and extremely sub optimal
I am Pacman1 votes"So if we don’t think runes and masteries have aged well, what are we going to do about it? We need to make changes. I will be frank that they won’t be coming in the 2017 preseason. These are complicated systems for developers to work on, and they affect everything from game balance to League’s IP economy. We don’t have details to share yet, but I didn’t want to confess that we aren’t happy with the current system without offering some commitment that we are going to change it. We think we can deliver on a system that offers some amount of customization without the current power delta that occurs while leveling."

Squidward Dab1 votesThey should either remove tier 2 runes and make all tier 3 times 1 ip with quints being 3 ip or they give all ap champs compensation by giving out at least 20-30 base ap because all ap champs start at 0 ap and even with masteries u only get a measly 4 ap
HaloDragonX1 votesRemove runes = gutting every champion who buys CDR runes.
cyberchade1 votesi think they wont pull them becuase the pages can be baught with RP
Shadow Hazard1 votespart of the reason to think about is the havoc it would cause in the jungle. many champs NEED the armor and pen for surviving the first clear. some champs can get away without any defensive runes for their first clear. but you can't just blanket buff all junglers because there are some that are low play and off meta that could get missed and then there is the issue of jungers becoming monsters in lane.
Spoofghoul1 votesDepending on whether u got scaling or flat runes, and which runes, they give about ½ to 1 fully completed item worth of stats.
So yes they have a big impact
Fat runes for early game probably have the biggest immediate impact but are easily outscaled later on by scaling runes or other options its a trade off
Ron LaFlamme1 votesFor the last year I have been on a quest to buy all the runes. Finally I am three away from they all. if they take my runes away. I would dang sure like to get my IP back.
Ðêvin1 votesTake away runes you will ruin the game, and if you make them free then players should get full IP refund since players earned their IP over many games. If not League will be ruined forever since many champions need scaling armor and magic resist runes, along with cooldown runes
TheNeedJustex1 votesthey will delete runes but for now on they keep them... maybe in 2018
