With all that has been added, changed and removed recently, we are stuck with a "Meta" group of champions. The old Runes/Masteries system was good, it allowed for creative building and playstyles. With the current rune system, we have a set number of runes (1 Keystone, 5 Runes) which only allows for certain combinations on each champion. If there was a way to combine those two systems, It would allow for many different build paths for each champion.

Although I wasn't around for when masteries were in play, I have a general idea of how they worked.

Right now, Riot is trying to take the old masteries and put them into items or the rune system, while it does work, the old way was better. Riot could have kept the old system and added these runes to it, or changed/tweaked them.

Right now, there are champions who have to play around the new system, and those who struggle to (Lookin' at you, Rumble). What I'm suggesting is that we go back to the old system wait for it and add the current keystones and runes to that, or change them to fit the scene.

Maybe its a good idea, maybe I'm just a bronze 2 kid.

Thoughts anyone?

sadly we at the bottom dont matter. I am a dairus main (or was anyway) top lane has become unplayable for me. I used to thrive on one mastery in particular and that was courage of the colossus. Made for clutch moments and turning a fight around. Before that i used Grasp of the undying. then they added that stupid 4 seconds in combat thing to it and i moved to courage. Nowadays i play support, cuz i either get counter pick in top lane as darius or dont feel confident enough to play (this coming from someone who once went 14/0 against an illaoi). with these new runes im forced to chose between extra damage or tankiness. Darius needs both. These new runes dont cater to this, before we had mastery AND runes now we just have one option and if you dont pick the right one for a match you get punished all game long. they sorta just forced the meta on us, despite saying "we want you to pick your own builds" yet nerf or remove anything that they dont like. Galio is a champ i play alot recently and over 3 patches he has been nerfed over and over. This is the land of the high elo and pro play now.
