In a terrible position regaurding runes.

I only have 2 runes. I figured I wouldnt bother to waste any IP on runes because the rune rework is coming up but I need runes to play competivily.

buy the tier 2 runes that are 1 ip each, i know rioters said they'd "compensate those who bought runes" but they never really said how so if i'm not gonna get my ip back then why bother

came to say exactly this, on my other account I just play with tier 2's and also made it into silver on that account, isnt a huge difference in power between t2 and t3's at all...

so whats the issue ?

get runes

riot already stated that in the future when the rune rework comes out they are going to compensate those who used IP for runes prior to rework

now you are saying you only have 2 rune pages? or just 2 runes total ?

Compensation can be a very subjective thing. I would be VERY surprised to see a 100% refund.

Its gonna probably be "Here! Have 2 Hextech Crafting Keys!!!!!"

yet the IP you get is free in game for just playing the game so they dont have to compensate anyone for anything do they ?

people keep getting their panties twisted of IP which was given to the player base for FREE for just playing the game, win or lose, good or bad it didnt matter what game mode or anything.

what people decided to do with their IP was at their own free will. some was smart and build runes and runes pages others used to get champs only. that is at the choice of the individual player. but sadly the general public didnt know how to manage and budget and know what runes to get due to stupidity and or went out and got that new shinny champ with the only IP they had instead of getting two basic rune pages.

kinda like managing real life cash flow... some are better at it then others

for us who have been playing a long time this isnt a problem. its mostly for those who started in S6 and have limited champ pools because they had to invest upwards of 4K ip per page.

no true ... cuz u can get the generic ad and ap page fairly cheaply i have posted them before... and a champ is either ad or ap

so 9 ad reds 9 armor seals 9 mr blues either 3 ad quints or 3 attack speed quints 9 magic pen reds 9 armor seals 9 mr blues 3 ap quints

1 ad red is 102ip X 9 =918ip 1 magic pen red is 205 X 9=1845ip 1 armor seal is 102 X 9=918ip 1 mr glyph is 102 x 9=918ip 1 ad quint is 512ip X 3 =1536ip 1 ap quint is 512ip X 3 =1536

you can get these runes for two full pages one for AD and one for AP for total of 7671IP and one champ who is recently released is 6300IP

and you dont have to get all at once... as other has mention tier 2 runes are 1 IP each and are 66% of what tier 3 is so get the cheap ones that you can tier 3s and then the ones that are more costly tier 2s so basically if you mix and match you can get two full rune pages for the same of 1 new champ

Good, this can be your first lesson on patience, so that when you actually can play ranked and don't have to spend IP on runes anymore, you can be well-adjusted to the piss-poor attitudes of ranked players.

Aside from that, I would just buy runes for whatever role I main and/or champion I main. So, lets say you mained Riven, you should just spend some IP on the T2 (not T3) runes that fit whatever playstyle you go on Riven.

I actually spent a bunch on runes when they announced they'd be replacing them, since the potential for unique compensation is attractive to me, since in the long run everyone ends up with more ip than they can spend, but theres no going back for limited stuff.

Still, if you are keen to pinch your ip, tier 2 runes are probably good enough.
