So rune pages are carrying over to the new system and you're not getting a refund

Even though you can change them on the fly, like masteries.

Hahahahahaha you might as well just get up now and spit in the face of people who wasted money on runepages

Come on Riot, I'm right here, just spit right in my eyes and get it over with, why wait till november

Edit: Mmmmmmm Riot spitting on you guys right here

One of the things we haven't talked about a lot with you guys, but which should come as no surprise, is that Riot does make revenue on runes, which we ultimately invest back into League to make the game better. This is indirect revenue, because it comes from players purchasing champions with RP since they don't have available IP to get those champions, since some of that IP goes towards runes. Freeing up rune IP (in the absence of any other changes) would let players buy a bunch of champions and spend less RP overall. Now we are making some other changes to the system, but overall, Riot is losing money on this deal. Potentially a lot of money. This was something we had to talk about a lot internally, but everyone was ultimately behind the decision, all the way to Tryndamere and Ryze. I don't want to make too big of a deal out of this, but if we seem cautious with some of our decisions here, this is part of the reason why. (Another big one obviously is that we are taking a gamble by overhauling such a core part of the game for something that we believe will be better.) We are making the new runes free because we believe 1) That it's the right thing to do for League and for League players, and 2) Our business model has always been to make a fun game that players want to keep coming back to year after year. Runes Reforged is a long-term bet on League of Legends (and Riot for that matter). If we thought that Rune Pages made no sense with the new design and risked feeling like a cash grab, we would absolutely just kill them as a feature. But we have found they are useful with Runes Reforged, just less mandatory than they were before. Definitely open to discussion on this topic however.

TL;DR FUCK YOU FOR SPENDING MONEY ON RUNEPAGES HAHAHA YOU'RE A RETARD AND WE TOOK THAT MONEY STRAIGHT TO THE BANK HAHAHAHAHA

More, I need you to spit in our faces more Riot
