The game feels far more fun, balanced and sensible. Almost felt like old League again. I mean, other than minions taking no damage and dealing tons. Can we just... remove runes and masteries, and nerf minions? :D we can always rebalance the champs who 'need' runes and masteries to function. Runes and masteries just feel like 'baggage'. There is only ever one, maybe two paths with them, and they just bloat damage, tankiness and utility making it hard to balance.
Pantheon Forever1 votesRunes and masteries provide customization and depth to the game at a low cost (low cost in terms of effort of the programmers). Just because a player doesn't yet have access or understanding of the system yet does not mean it is bad for the game.
Mira Arya Enthe1 votesFacepalm I have been playing since 2011. I am not stating because I am new I think it is better not to have them. I am stating that all they have done is bloat stats. They do not provide customization.
Mastery A OP on your champ? Use it. Nerfed? Switched to B.
Pantheon Forever1 votesWhat you are failing to realize is that the relative value of each stat changes based on who you are playing as, who you are playing against, and what role you are trying to play.
VS 
MR glyphs are strong
VS 
Mana glyphs might be more suitable
In a team with multiple tanks AD quints are strong
In a team without any tanks Health quints might be more suitable
get in to a team auto filled into support should consider switching to GP5 quints
The more understanding you have of the game the more you can adjust around each match (in a similar fashion to counter picking, you can counter build against opponents).
(easily could have a ridiculously long list of reasons to re prioritize stat choices but kept it short to focus on the bigger issue)
ScissorsNstuff1 votesit wont fix much, what you probably really want is just less damage overall which has had mixed results before
