Rune pages should be cheaper for IP to start with, but scale up to 6300 as you buy more.

Even just being able to get one for 1350 IP, then one for 3150, for 4800, and then 6300 for the rest. Hell, even just getting the first one half off would be SOMETHING.

I know someone will try to tell me that two pages is plenty, but it's really not if you intend to learn more than one role, which you kinda have to now that auto-fill is the norm.

Especially with T2 runes being 1 IP, giving newer accounts a fairly large variety of runes on the cheap.

Also the fact that the higher runes and most champs are costly

ANYTHING. AT ALL. THAT AFFECTS GAMEPLAY. SHOULD NOT HAVE A PRICE. Maybe unlocking them by level. Because it creates a Pay to win environment because your forced to save up SHITLOADS of ip just to buy pages and runes, (which isnt fun, because runes arent a new thing you get to play like you do a champion. OR you can spend Rp and get more pages, and then buy ip boosts (with money) to get more ip for, you guessed it, RUNES.

Rune pages and runes should not have a cost associated with them.

5 pages and all runes should be unlocked for all player at 30 as they affect your ability to win in a non-negligible way

which creates a pay-to-win environment...since the only way to realistically gain pages and champions is to buy one

Rune pages shouldn't have a price at all. I hate that I get a serious competitive advantage over people simply due to the amount of time I've been playing for allowing me to rune what ever the fuck I want.

I have 3 pages devoted to mid lane, sometimes 4.

I really couldn't play the way I do with just 2 pages.

Rune pages should be free.

6300 = 32 4800 = 45 3150 = 25 1350 = 21 450 = 13

The 4800 tier basically has as many champions as the 3150 and 1350 tiers combined.

Remember, Riot hates money, so they try to avoid making incentives to purchase things with RP.

More rune pages are not necessary, just convenient. Having the runes to fill those pages is the most important part and that costs a boatload of IP, before you factor in costs of champions.

There are even proven "useless" runes and ones that are "optimal". So the variety might add a degree of fun, but when you analyze it, it falls flat on intended output. It might not be the difference between bronze and silver, but it might be he difference between diamond and challenger in some cases. If the gameplay is as high tier as expected, the raw stats feeding into outputs can have the world of difference.

I like the idea of customizable stats via runes, but the costs associated are just a sink unfortunately.

Runes that are actually useful in more than some random niche case, I think:

Mark of AD = 918 Mark of AS = 3690 Mark of Lethality = 3690 Mark of MPen = 1845 Mark of Armor = 1845

Seal of Armor = 918 Seal of Scaling Health = 3690

Glyph of Magic Resist = 918 Glyph of Scaling MR = 1845 Glyph of Scaling CDR = 3690

Quint of AD = 1536 Quint of AS = 3075 Quint of AP = 1536 Quint of Armor = 3075 Quint of MS = 6150

Total = 38421 IP

I second this idea, great way for new players not to feel overwhelmed. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Or maybe something required to advance actual gameplay shouldnt cost as much as a new champ

But then riot cant charge RP for the 7 page bundle or for new champs.

Gelmous5/20/2017, 8:23:59 PM1 votes

i like the idea, getting basic runes would be much cheaper and then if you want to advance you pay a bit extra

Slimegoon5/20/2017, 1:07:24 PM1 votes

While I agree they should be cheaper, I don't agree it's needed. I see many high ELO streamers that have 2-3 rune pages.

I'm pretty sure most champions get ran on more than two different pages so ye.
