"Runes Reforged"

Let us all sit down, and think. The "Runes" get more balance updates than champions do. Champions have gotten nerfed due to their proficiency with certain "runes" Then those same "Runes" were nerfed, doubling the effect on the champions. Seems like the "Runes" make the game a lot more difficult.

I, and many others, wish to see an end to the runes. They take away from variability in the game, giving champions almost set runes to take to stay viable. Sure Klepto Udyr would work, but you can't play that because then you're not gonna do a viable amount of damage. I've played it, and gotten flamed for it. It's gotten to the point where taking a wrong rune page can actual hinder your entire game performance. Old runes didn't do that, and these new ones shouldn't. Maybe Riot will see how much harder they are making balancing for themselves, and revert some changes to the game to make it a little more, doable.

Even the old runes and masteries had "default" situations, let's not pretend it was no different. Sure you could take different ones then the ideal ones but then they're not ideal.

I had 20 different pages, all filled out with different set-ups, most where Mid pages but at the end of the day I defaulted to my main page 80% of the time. Same went with Masteries, I always create my page in lobby, still do and I honestly find more times then not I feel like I have more choices now. Ahri for instance. I usually take Elec, but I can also viably take Aery or Comet, back then it was TLords only.

If I decide to go Elec, I can go into Sorc for Nul Orb vs Syn/LB/Veig or Gathering storm for scaling, or Transverse if I want to only need to get a 20 CDR item and a 10 CDR. I also have the option to get other useful runes like Mana Flow. Ult Hat or Scorth depending on match up. Or I can go Comet/Aery and go into Resolve for a defensive style lane phase or into Precision for Coup and PoM for a offensive style game plan. While I generally have a set go to rune page still, I do have these options that don't hinder my game play, I never really had those before with masteries, and while I did for Runes, there wasn't as much variation.

Rune Reforge is still new, and needs time to adjust.

I miss the old runes, back when they were actual runes and not just masteries
