When Runes Reforged was first teased I was really hoping we will get more playstyle possibilities

Personally I was hoping to be able to get something potentially like... (just rough examples)

  • Being able get a Damage over Time focused playstyle on a Marksman for instance
  • Have creative ways of avoiding/exiting combat at the cost of not having any Damage based Runes selected
  • Being able to apply tons of mini debuffs on enemies at the cost of not having any Damage based Runes selected

I don't know, it's just all of the Runes are starting to feel dull and most of the time you're basically just picking the same Runes every game. I just want something fresh.

I think the whole issue for most people with Runes Reforged was that all that they mostly offer is just raw Damage instead of making X playstyle interesting.

Yup. They used the reasons of implementing this stupid system as "fresh and more ways to play" because apparently the old system was just the same ones over and over, but they ended up doing the SAME DAMN THING.

At least in the old system we had way more choices, on top of masteries, and had a ton more defense. This system stripped all that and just pigeonholed us into only a tiny amount of choices, leaving us going to pick the only one that is better than the rest.

I wish they would revert it.

you mean all this "new" stuff they are offering us is MORE DAMAGE. i miss the old runes where you can add spell vamp or move quients.

Yup. I miss those especially spell vamp. Back when Morg had a SV passive and not this stupid omni-vamp thing, I would take a SV quint and build Will of the Ancients and heal for like half of my health with just one Q, LOL.

Those were the days :(

if i develop runes i woulda put out gameplay options like how nimbus cloak works. or amplify or trade off CC abilities like instead of stunning X champ you heavy slow them but do more damage with the debuff "exposed" as a example.
