@ Riot, runes giving damage is a bad idea

There’s just no reason for free damage... deal “more damage” for dealing damage is a stupid concept. The game would be infinitely better if free damage didn’t exist. Or if it was minimal, like up until season 6. I just can’t grasp how it could have ever been a good idea, to give champs a bunch of burst or additional poke for free. Like why? It’s like allowing every player to start the game with a free completed item. There’s just no reason for it.

Maybe runes could proc other effects that aren’t mostly damage.

the funny part is half of the runes that do damage dont NEED to do extra damage.

Why does Aftershock need bonus damage when getting that massive 200 resist bump is fight changing enough?

Why does PtA need the bonus 40-180 flat damage when the 12% dmg amp is reward enough?

Predator doesn't need to deal bonus damage because you are basically getting a FREE gapcloser independent of your ability kit!

Waterwalking gives great roam potential and is invaluable on roaming champions esp mid laners. Why.Does.It.Need.Damage?

Storm Raiders surge/Phase Rush was/still is considered sleeper OP Rune and it has always dealt NO DAMAGE whatsoever!

tacking damage onto runes was honestly a big mistake and I wish come preseason (or before that) Riot would just dig in and remove all that unnecessary damage bloat.
