Can we get some new runes?

Hello,

So as the game has changed over the years, aka new champions/items/maps etc. I noticed that runes have been pretty stagnant. Other than the VERY rare and occasional nerf/buff to runes we really don't see any changes with them.

How about adding some new ones? There are plenty of things you can do with runes if you really think about it, and it would definitely make each game and player more unique. I'll include some below just as examples (don't comment on balance because that is completely besides the point):

Damage on-hit marks - +2 magic damage on basic attacks. (simple, but unique)

Scaling attack speed quints - +10% attack speed at level 18 (we have some runes that scale like AD, but we don't have many other options)

Hybrid power marks - +.7 attack damage and 1 ability power

I mean, there are HUNDREDS of different runes that could be made. My point is, sometimes I feel like the rune system is stagnant, and there are CLEARLY some runes that are WAYYYY better than others. The entire system needs a rework. I would love to have more options when making a rune page.

What comes along with adding more runes is LOWERING THE COST. Seriously. Wayyyyy too expensive. Add a lot more different runes, and reduce the cost drastically.

Thoughts?

The whole rune system needs a HUGE overhaul.

They're already discussing how to rework the entire system. There are plans to refund everyones runes, make them free to everyone and allow champs to select runes in champ select. ( I think you jsut choose 1 of each type of rune - so you cant mix multiple quint types etc).

IF you have suggestions for other runes, please let us know. But keep in mind that this system will change soon.

Edit: read through your ideas and I disagree with the first. Runes, masteries, items should be VASTLY different from each other and shouldnt offer the same thing. The magic damage on hit sounds like it should be an item, not a rune.

Just cause you added examples a mod will come and tell you to post this on the most hateful and underrated section of the forum, Concepts and Creations, you will see.

they should balance runes first, energy runes being the worst offender, especially with reworked shen, by doubling everything energy wise on shen energy ruens are entirely useles now.
