Make Runes Free, Like Mastery Pages

The Ecdysiast··6 votes·421 views

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT A CONCEPT. THIS IS A PART OF GAMEPLAY AND EFFECTS IN-GAME STATS

We already pay for runes with IP. There's no reason the BLANK pages should cost $5 or as much as a brand new champion.

Again, this does NOT fall under the guidelines of Concept and Creation. This pertains directly to gameplay, as the wrong runes can lose your lane or ruin your jungle clear.

Side Note: The store policy on not refunding changed content (like updated champions) extends to this. There's not reason to believe you'd get a refund on rune pages you "paid" for when this is so obviously stated in their policies. Being stingy about what you've spent points on doesn't justify a desire to make the playing field uneven. I saw no crying or whining for 300 RP when Ahri's and Darius's prices went down. AND IF YOU READ THE POST: I said the PAGES alone. Runes themselves are another topic and do not belong in this thread.

But then, if you love paying $20 for empty item slots in every online game you play, I don't know what to tell you.

I just saved up to 108k IP to buy the remaining T3 runes I didn't have. If runes were to be made free, I'd like my 450k~ IP refunded, as would all players, which they would then use that massive payout to just buy all champs. It's not too difficult to save up IP and get a decent rune set. You just have to choose whether you want runes or champs.

That's on you. The policy that doesn't give refunds when you buy a skin right before it goes on sale, or when a champion is updated applies here. Per the store policies, your argument has no ground.

Aside from that, a full rune page costs 70000 at the least to fill, assuming you're using the cheapest, least effective quints. That's why I'm simply asking that the PAGES be made free, not the runes themselves. You very obviously didn't read the post, because that confusion isn't possible with what I wrote. I clearly stated that we already pay for the runes themselves.

You don't have to be snotty with me, I didn't even say whether or not I agreed with your suggestion. That policy applies to money, not IP. I also didn't say I'm entitled to anything, I said that I'd LIKE a refund.

Also, "It's not too difficult to save up IP and get a decent rune set." is a fact, and "You just have to choose whether you want runes or champs." is a fact. Per the fact that your attitude caused you to misconstrue what I said, your post is nonsense.

It wasn't snotty, and it applies to IP as well. They don't give refunds on any item purchased any way just because the item was changed.

And no, "It's not too difficult to save up IP and get a decent rune set." is not a fact. It takes 5 times as many hours to get those runes as doctors say is the maximum healthy amount for a person to play video games.

"You just have to choose whether you want runes or champs" is a command-type sentence and cannot be a fact or a lie.

There's no attitude issue here. You just assumed I meant Runes when I very clearly stated Rune PAGES, and continued on with an ill-supported argument from that incorrect topic of discussion.

It was snotty, you're needlessly being a jerk to me just because I was confused. It also doesn't matter how long it takes relative to the recommended max amount of game time. League is a game which is meant to be played long term.

If you're going to try and argue a point, at least take a minute to do some simple math. The most page would cost 28290 IP.

Due to your title, I did misunderstand, and your post doesn't make it clear that your not referring to runes.

"We already pay for runes with IP. There's no reason the BLANK #_pages _ should cost $5 or as much as a brand new champion."

Again, it's simple boards etiquette to actually read the OP.

I did read it, and I also read the title. Stop assuming that I didn't read your post just because there was a misunderstanding. Again, stop being such a freaking jerk over a misunderstanding. There are hundreds or thousands of players that might read what you post, spend a few extra minutes to make sure your point is clarified.

He never insulted you. Nothing he says makes him seem like a jerk

Exactly. This guy's playing a victim when no one was insulting him, but now he's harassing me.

Nope, riot should keep the rune pages the way they are =)

I agree but not many will.

The main issue is that there are people like the guy above, who don't read the post and then misconstrue the title. I'm saying the pages alone, not the runes to fill them.

Then again, who doesn't love paying $20 for empty item slots in an online game?

I did read your post, the only thing you said relating to rune pages is "There's no reason the BLANK pages should cost $5 or as much as a brand new champion."

If you would have used a better title and explained better, then there would have been no misunderstanding. There's no reason for you to act like a jerk.

your title is needlessly confusing. You dont say "make rune pages free, like mastery pages". You say "make runes free".

Well, you see, you're making the same very clear mistake that the other guy made.

Do you not know what a rune PAGE is? It's the blank thing you put the runes you paid for onto so you can use them in game.
