A Simple Solution to the Tier I & II Rune Noob Trap!

ModUlanopo·Nov 30, 2014·2 votes·781 views

Make it so that everyone gets a full set of Tier I runes for free. Have new players start with 30 rune slots. Replace the combiner with a "turbocharger" that upgrades runes for the difference in cost.

Pros:

Removes rune noob traps
New players have access to everything they need to start play.
Minimizes power gap between new and old players.
Allows for more experimentation and easier filling of roles.
Is much simpler and more straightforward.
Permits gradual improvement in runes.

Cons:

May require some IP refunds to a small percentage of players.

Cons:

Reduces the amount of RP new players would buy due to lack of IP in the beginning of the game; because free stuff.

I like your solution, but Riot doesn't want to hurt their economy afaik.

The current advice to new players is, "Don't buy runes until you can get the tier III", so no one would be spending less than they should.

Uninformed ones will, I mean seriously. Are item builds, jungling & supporting made clear by Riot ? Not really, they rely on 3rd party websites and the community itself to do the work.

I know your point and it's correct. But rito don't wanna.

Rune system was crap since forever and many suggested changes, nothing happens.
