Runes and rune pages shouldn't cost anything..

Or at least have a major reduction in price.

You need different runes for different champions, simple as that. I've got 2 sets of runes, AD and AP and I plan on not changing that since..

  1. Runes are bat shit expensive
  2. Pages are bat shit expensive

I would have specific tank runes, but I don't want to blast 590RP or 6300ip on a fking rune page + then buy more runes just so I can have a bonus if I decide to play Nasus or some other tank champion when I would rather buy a new champion since I am still yet to get all the ones I actually want. I don't want to sound like a broken record to the rest of the community but this is just another negative for new players. They want new champions so they actually have a pool to use and have some colour instead of having 6 or 7..But hey! At least they got runes!

Can we just make runes something cheap since it's so important in this game and there are champions we should go for?

Runes and rune pages shouldn't cost anything..

I half agree.

Riot has to make their money somehow, which rune prices conflicting with champion prices allows for. Cheaper runes means more IP for champions and less RP champion sells.

For high-tier players and game longevity it's nice for IP to always mean something, be valuble, and offer a new personal quest and rewards with the pursuit of runes. Part of LoL's appeal is it's pretty endless with no real end.

That said: T1 and T2 runes should just be free. Or rather, T1 runes should just be flat out removed, and T2 should be available to starting players with no level restrictions.

Would let people try out different rune page set-ups and builds, fix the trap that is T1 and T2 runes draining starting player IP, and make it easier to test out really diverse champions that strike a player's attention.

They should be at least half priced of what they coast now .

I think it's ridicules that one rune page costs the same as a expensive champion. This is riot's incorporation of pay to win except that paying more money doesn't actually do anything since it's ip! Overall it just doesn't make any sense for rune pages to cost any ip. The same goes with you not being able to take flash until level 10. It gives new players with higher mmr's a disadvantage because they don't have flash or even smite for jungling. New players should never have to play with 2 top.
