Would it break the game if you could choose any Rune you want?

BigFBear··1 votes·698 views

Serious Question.

I mean, it would need a bit extra work of balancing for sure but i don't think it would be really unbalanced or op.

  • No 4/2 cookiecutter anymore where you have no real choice because only one or even NO rune per row make sense for your champ (hi @ Resolve).

  • Just 1 Keystone and six Runes you can chose of from all the existing runes. That would give us far more interesting choices and build combinations.

And i really think it wouldn't make a big difference in balancing.

What do you guys think?

Eh. It'd cause a lot more balance issues.

There are many potential abuse cases kept in check by the sole fact that the rest of that tree would be shitty for the champion or by you only being able to take 2 trees.

What? Can you be more precisely? There will be no "Trees" anymore. And can you name me some abuse examples since you can combine most runes already.

Might as well just revert runes altogether then.

I would rather have doubled or trippled queue time than playing with autofills!
