Seriously, allow us to delete Rune Preset pages and add a 'Minimal Spec Mode'

Chalze··3 votes·4,459 views

This, tied to how damn slow and buggy the client is, I have to wait through all the flashy animations and sound effects of creating a rune page even on low spec mode which takes me to the very last few seconds of champion select even if I'm in the first half of the picks, and the client still locks in a preset page?

Why are these mandatory on accounts higher than Lv. 30?? You already give everyone a base amount of 2 pages free for us to customize however the hell we want as well as allowing us to buy with BE a ton more pages, why keep the presets mandatory then??

On that topic, I've already made a thread about this some time ago, if we're in Low Spec mode (which you kinda force us to with how excessively bloated the client is with flashy but ultimately unnecessary animations and sound effects), why still keep animations and sound effects? Isn't Low Spec mode specifically for people who can't run your overly bloated flashy (and borderline pretentious) client? My computer/laptop is not bad by any means, I used to be able to run regular spec mode absolutely smoothly until a year or two ago where the client had a sudden surge in lag universally.

If you really wanna keep your flashy animations and sound effects, then introduce a 'Minimal Spec Mode'. If you really don't want people to see how 'static' it'd be, just issue a warning prompt saying that the client will look a lot more dull and static. Knowing all the rune placements off by heart in Runes Reforged, I used to be able to make a new rune page in champion select within perhaps 6 to 7 seconds, now to lock each rune in I need to wait like 2 to 4 seconds for it to lag, THEN play its animation and flashy audio cue. You guys say that you know how broken the client is and your first priority is to fix any bugs or lag that'll directly interfere with gameplay, but that doesn't seem to hold up at all.

Doesn't matter how nice the client looks, if its looks breach upon the performance and functionality, no one's gonna like it.

Definitely can add this to the huge list of client issues.

Exactly what good would deleting the preset pages do? You can hide them.

It would free up all the clutter and reduce the bugs which make you default to them.

Now let me flip thar question back on you. What good does having them in the game do?

its not bugs that make you default to them, its a failure to have a complete rune page. which is exactly why you should have them, so you can't go into a game with no runes or half a page. I also don't see how it frees up clutter when you can hide them.

I don’t see why refusing to save changes on your runepage doesn’t just revert it to the prior runepage setting. I don’t see why one minor rune not being set makes your entire primary runepage + keystone change. Riot being garbage at coding and getting rid of basic features to replace with shittier runepages is not a good argument to keep said shittier runepages. If I have already set my lethal tempo and my other 3 runes, and in the process my side tree of domination fails on me and my ravenous hunter doesn’t save, there are two things that can and should do. One, revert the page to what it was prior to the change. That’s how all other save states work. Why the fuck does changing your runes delete your whole runepage if you fail to save? Two, alternatively, default the unsaved runes to a potential preset. Heck, if it happens more than once, allow the player to set their own defaults so that in this scenario, it defaults to what it used to be.

Defaulting to glacial-resolve is bullshit and you know it. Keeping these useless runepages only causes more clutter and allows more spaghetti to go unfixed. Heck, it would be better to default to a premade runepage rather than these runes, because for the most part those runes feel like a combination with the intent of “what runes could I pick such that I get the worst possible outcome.”
