The State of Runes

Hello, my name is ScryerPathos, I have been playing League of Legends since season 3, and I love the game. I have created this post to hold a community vote on the state of runes. Simply, the time (and IP) that must be allotted towards getting runes and rune pages, is simply too high, I feel that if runes were less of a barrier to players who are either new to the game, or trying to get serious about the game, the player-base would increase in population and general preparedness for matches, leading to a more dynamic skill-cap to the game which as of now is basically held exclusively by those who have already purchased every champion, and payed their dues by playing the estimated 7000 games it would take to get every last rune/rune-page.
