Rune Prices.
I think they are too high takes too long to obtain a full rune page worth playing with. I just want to know everyones opinion on rune prices.

yes they too high but that will never change. People been complaining about them for years. Runes are like masteries but ones you have to pay for.
Im saving up to finish a run page right now... first one I've actually done with tier 3 runes. I probably could buy a 6300 champion with the IP I've spent on these things so far.
Fill up your page with tier 1 runes (the are super cheap) then replace them with tier 3 runes as you go. There's not a HUGE difference between tiers 1 and 3. It's a difference ,of course, but a full page of tier 1 helps a decent amount.
when I hit level 21, I swear, I had bought a 6300, and had just enough ip to fill out my slots with tier 3s. None of them were even the highest price runes. 410s and shit.
Honestly, I don't care about runes or masteries. To some people, it may seem like a good way for players with knowledge to get a sharper edge or a good way to tell when someone is an idiot on Lolking, but I think that it means little to nothing at level 30 and all players have that same edge, meaning no one has an edge.
I never really had an issue with them. I saved up enough IP between levels 12 and 20 that I was able to purchase enough runes for a full AD and full AP page, which could be used to cover pretty much every champion [maybe not always optimally, but they worked well] and held me for a long time. All I really needed was:
- AD Marks
- AD Quints
- AP Quints
- Magic Pen Marks
- Flat Armor Seals
- Flat MR Glyphs
For quite a while, I would wait until I had around 20k IP before purchasing champions or runes, so I had a lot of IP available for the rune + rune page sales. At this point, I have enough runes to cover most champions and situations comfortably.
My main complaint is the cost of rune pages. Isn't it enough that we spend a large amount of ip on runes, but unless we only use 2 different types of champs we need to shell out an extra 6300 ip, on top of the runes we need? If rune pages were lowered to 4800 even it would make it easier to build the rune pages for more variety in play styles without constructing new pages before each game.
