Hi all,
i want to test some runes, but it feels like a waste of ip, because they will be useless in some months.
Do we get a full refund of runes or something similar? its really important for my decision, wether i use tons of ip on runes or not.
Please help me and for sure many other players!

I would say so. Riot, LoL, and the game in general is irrelevent to this question. Like any business, when the market is unpredicatable, you get conservative with your cash.
I wouldn't buy runes right now because you:
A. Know a change is coming B. You don't know what that change is going to be C. You therefore don't know what you're buying, or if it's a fair exchange of goods based on the IP you're giving them.
Do we get a full refund of runes or something similar?
They said that they don't have anything to announce at this time in regard to how they'll compensate players who have spent IP/RP on runes. They also said they're going to make an announcement during Pre-Season 8. So to answer your question: yes, spending your IP on runes is likely going to be a waste of IP.
If it's just to "test runes" I'd say not likely worth. There are many statistical sites that can help you figure that stuff out for every champ (if it's worth to invest in and use until season 8) example: http://lolalytics.com/champion/Anivia/ go to the runes tab.
They are deciding on how to compensate players for their rune purchases. If you need runes, buy them. If you don't, then don't. There's no reason to change behaviours one way or another besides that. Just know that change is coming.
I stopped buying runes since before the assassin update because i knew this was coming. Though they did say there will be compensation but we don't know what that compensation is yet.
I mean if you have all champions/all that you want already you could gamble for somthing good this way.
I mean, it's your choice... buying them and testing them out gives you a change/advantage in your current gameplay. Runes won't disappear for another 5 moths which is still A LOT of league games taht you may use them for. Riot also said there will be compensation so if you want to use that ip on runes, I would say go for it, because it's less of a waste buying them now than let's say 2 or 3 months from now and even then, if you have all the champs, what else would you spend it on?
