no reason we can't change runes in champ select
but we can change masteries i mean there are plenty more problems with the rune page system but that's one of the things that bugs me most

It completely undermines the system of buying new pages.
There would be no reason to buy Rune Pages then. You could just change them on the spot to counter your lane opponent exactly with only one rune page. It is probably a little greedy of Riot, but it does promote pregame strategy and being prepared.
Riot did it for tournament reasons.
Something along the lines of "being prepared, yet vigilant" because the rune pages can be so specialized.
Masteries really aren't that specialized and the amount they vary between roles can mean little to none when you can get like 20 pgs no problem.
Its because riot wants you to spend more money on rune pages. Nothing to do with actual gameplay balance
unfortunately they are right. the only reason why you cant do this is they want you to buy more runepages...
