I need runes but since we don't know the compensation I don't want to waste IP

Buy tier 2's for now. 1 IP each. Once we get word on transition, then it may be worth buying tier 3's. Might not be worth then, but at 1 IP tier 2's should be fine in general.

I think the new runes and mastery system is gonna come out in patch 7.13. You might as well save your IP for champions or rune pages.

they arent comming out til preseason of season 8 so after worlds ...

I still buy the runes I need. I don't care about compensation, this is a much needed change that i welcome. Don't let it effect how you spend your ip unk the change is implemented. You never know, they could change their mind after PBE testing.

I think the new rune system is bullshit! i have been playing since season 1 and have worked hard for my runes. I agree it will level the playing field for new players in low elo.
