Old rune and mastery vs New runes set up.

Pollo Fresco··2 votes·1,573 views

It's been bugging me, friends around me all say they dislike the new set up. Yet online all that I see is the complete opposite. So I just want to ask everyone , hopefully the poll thingie works. It's the first time that I try using it here. But the question is simple in the poll. Feel free to explain in the comments why you feel how you feel about the choice you picked. I myself really can't get used to the new runes still. I'm finding it difficult to have as much fun as before with the customization aspect. I feel like they just are too uniformed and give you less options when it comes to adding a style to your gaming. I have been giving it the benefit of the doubt for a while now but I've come to the realization that I went from playing a couple of hours everyday to playing a couple of hours every two weeks without realizing it till just now. So please I really wan't to know what people are thinking of this change and if others feel the same way. Thank you and happy holidays.

" I feel like they just are too uniformed and give you less options when it comes to adding a style to your gaming." I would say that "style" is not the correct word/direction for this, but overall you are correct. The new runes do offer less options and have been simplified in keeping with the Riot's move to make the game more accessible and casual friendly.

I don't think I can say in response "Which is better? Old Rune System" fully, 100% because I like that I don't have to spend near hundred thousand IP on them anymore. However, I do not like that there are less options, missing options, and options that can lock you into stats that your champion does not want.

I think you put it a bit better than I did. I'm not really good with expressing myself but that's pretty much how I feel. But I think I feel that way because I was used to the old rune system. Then again, that is what makes me feel like the old one was better, because I miss it I know for a fact that I enjoyed it more.

I miss IP.

I miss Deathfire touch and Fervor.

I like the new runes.

I like the ultimate hat.

Somethings I like and somethings I don't I can't vote.

I do miss IP too, but there's something similar to deathfire touch in the new ones. I should put a IDK poll there lol

Scorched. It was very good for mid laners til they nerfed it. I still take it though I find it useful still.

One thing I dislike about the new runes is the "adaptive" stats that kinda screw over champs with good hybrid scaling like Akali/Katarina/Shaco. Especially for Shaco since he liked to take AP blues for the box damage helping his early clears, but he never really built AP in items

That's one thing that I never noticed. Thanks for pointing that out.
