Revert this monstrosity of a game ruining idiotic "flashy" thing and put back old runes and masteries.
There you go Ghostcrawler/Riot. I fixed your game for you, and all I ask in return is $1. That's certainly less than you're paying the people actually trying to "balance" the game.
You don't make a compelling case. 'this is trash' is neither constructive or informative. 'Just revert' isn't a realistic option, especially since the old system was bloated all to hell, and was a huge barrier to entry for new players and slowed the rate of acquiring champions. If you really want to be heard, make a detailed post about the parts of Runes Reforged you feel are failures and why, and then propose something that fixes the problems you present. Otherwise you're just screaming into the void.
You know runes reforged were to deal with the hopeless mess of the LAST rune system, right? With the 3 tiers, IP only junk with many niche purposes and lack of flexibility overall because you also need to buy rune pages that (still) cost the most expensive (non-recently-release) champions (6300 IP/BE). Builds and runes just needed to be touched after Ghostcrawler was reassigned. With any luck, things will be reasonable in preseason.
You realize not everything is perfect? As much as some people think whatever Riot does is 100% accurate or refund incoming, the people there are humans just like us. They make mistakes. This system was not a failure, it was a test for a** system that would be better for players in the long run**. They can only gather so much info internally, so they had to do the rest of the ironing work during live. Take the post Riot Scruffy posted almost a week ago. They have plans for preseason to fix the rune system.
So for the love of everything,** stop trying to play the "Ghostcrawler" card like everyone else does when they get mad for any type of balance work**.
A. He's not in charge of game balance anymore as of a week ago, heck maybe even longer since he mentioned in his post that he was already out of that position weeks ago.
B. Balance is a TEAM effort, not one person. This game would be in flames if it was one person deciding all the changes. Ghost was simply the head of the balance team, doesn't mean he had leverage over other people when deciding balance changes.
I honestly feel bad for him because he put himself as the face of stuff and taking hate that wasn't even intended for him.
It's a big overhaul. You don't go in for a few months and just up and scrap a huge project. Runes were a core foundation of the game. Of course it'll take a minute for a new rune system to land right.
They could just make all runes free keep the masteries and woalah......the whole fking argument about old runes is "BUT IT WAS A HUGE IP SINK FOR NOOBIES WHO WANTED TO GO INTO RANKED UNPREPARED"
DUNG old runes should have been made free and scrap this shtfest dumbed down mastery system YES ITS A FKING DUMBED DOWN MASTERY SYSTEM.
