Runes VS Masteries - Changing Them When Needed

JustNotGoodAtAll·Aug 14, 2015·7 votes·887 views

Hello everyone,

I am a player since season 3, and it just now dawned on me that we can change our masteries while in champion select, however, we cannot change runes. For those of us who don't have the awesome IP or RP to purchase oodles of rune pages, I would like to propose that we have the ability to modify our runes while in champion select.

Otherwise, I think a lot of people would appreciate the idea of being able to purchase 1 rune page at a lower IP cost, say 3500 IP?

I do like the ability to modify Rune Pages in champion select (primarily in ranked), where you can better prepare your runes before a match.

I do agree, that generally you should have your mains for ranked, but sometimes you don't get your main, and you need to modify your runes before the match begins.

What do you guys think?

I do agree that rune pages need to cost less- 6300 is a lot to spend on one page... ._.

Yeah, I mean, I still need to buy champions and more runes, but rune pages for different champs would be a little more feasible if I could actually afford the IP. I wouldn't mind so much spending 3500 or 4000 IP on a page.

If you could edit rune pages you'd only need one. That's like the whole point of buying new pages.

Aye, you could, but think about how time consuming it could be to actually remake a page. You might never make it out. Slight adjustments would work better.

Maybe they should just make them more expensive as you buy them.

Rune Pages shouldn't cost anything to begin with, just like Mastery Pages don't cost anything.

It is an utterly blatant IP sink, this kind of practice is just disgusting. It's bad enough that Runes are a noob trap anyway.

It's part of the strategy. Preparing what you think you might need before you get into a game is awesome strategy that I wouldn't want to give up.

Riot should increase the base stats of champions and just remove runes all together lest face is there aren't many variations that you didn't do already with Masteries just give 10 damage to all 5 armor 7 magic resist 50 health and some mana regen and get it over with
