Runes should be updated.

So you want to add runes that do the same thing that masteries do? That's not really updating, that's adding. And then you run into issues where what makes a run versus a mastery. Although arguably that's kind of an issue as it is; I think its a little skewed to have two separate systems that overlap even as much as they do now.

So what kind of New Runes would you add?

lol True. i used to play Dota 1 before lol and it was all about your champion + your skills No runes No mast No summ spI

I recently tried Heroes of the Storm, and it works like this, if not more. There's no items, no runes, no masteries, just your skills and the upgrade paths you choose. The only counterplay is the special effects on every map. If you killed someone/got killed, you know its simply mechanics and that you can counterplay them or vice versa.

That's true, and it's a part of the reason it will never happen. Also, it would mean that less IP boosts would be bought->money loss on riot's side.

Dont let there be an RP option to buy anything with runes. That would make the game pay-to-win. More importantly, the people on here will shoot down your ideas immediately without reading the context once they see that.

Good luck, that looks like an interesting take on runes from first glance.

The reason is because right now they have pages already and I was thinking offering presets for runes just like we have for item sets, would be so convenient that it might make it such that people don't ever bother purchasing additional rune pages. When you think about it I'm sure riot made quite a bit off of their rune page expandability. Free presets would make buying extra rune pages even less desireable and would be a bad business move for riot. I'm all for making it free, not sure if riot is is all. I'm totally okay with the current runepage system so long as they give us 3pages for free and can be expanded with IP. The same would work for presets. Each preset slot could also be unlocked with IP so wouldn't be pay to win. Mostly just a QOL change. I mean nothing to stop people from writing down or remembering what they had. You can even look at match history nowadays.actually I do that quite often look at match history build to see what rune setup I had. Maybe ranging around 500 IP to 1000ip (50 to 75 rp), pretty minimal cost for a bit of convenience. Can unlock like 10 at a time with rp for a reduced price. I don't mind giving riot these types of ways to make money.
