Idea for new Quintessences: Set-type Quints
Runes generally don't get much balancing except when a new Season starts, probably because of how touchy they are. But because of that, we don't ever see new runes coming out. I find that... disappointing.
As such, I want to suggest something new for runes: Add in new Quintessences that provide a much more potent effect than the ones we have on live, but require you to use all three slots.
To iterate, these Quints would automatically fill up all three of your slots (sorry level 29's), so you can't use them with one Quint of Movement Speed or whatnot. Sounds like too much of an investment? Well, these "Super Quints" would provide you with effects that you can't get from other runes.
Examples
- Increases your mana regeneration by 1% for every 1.25% of your missing mana.
- Grants you X bonus movement speed while out of combat.
- +X% bonus armor/magic penetration.
- Each basic attack grants you a Flurry stack (max. 3-5). At maximum Flurry stacks, you gain a large increase in attack speed.
And so forth. Basically, you'd get item effects from your runes, at the cost of innate stat boosts.
This could add some neat new devoted rune sets for players to tinker with, and provide some very unique strategies for customization.
