The real issue's with runes and masteries

Runes and masteries: get rid of them. Stop screwing around with them. It's annoying and we get FORCED into taking the same things over and over again. There are NO decisions to make. There are 2 versions of your rune pages, vs. ad and vs. ap. There's one version of your mastery page, one for each role and in most cases you can take that same set up on most champions in multiple roles e.g. any tank will take courage if they have cc no matter what role they go whether it's top, jg, or support. Get rid of this thought that we HAVE to have this pre game "mini game" that doesn't actually do anything but screw you over if you don't use the same optimal rune page as your enemy counter part. Adding onto this just makes the problem worse as gaining the runes is not even the problem. All of the basic "optimal" runes had their prices reduced a while ago and are incredibly easy to get. If you don't take that +9 armor as adc you lose lane, there is no decision. They lowered every champions base armor stat in the game just to force you into that situation where 9 armor or more is required in almost any and every page for it to even be relevant against an ad laner or jungler. There is literally no reason we should have runes. The only reason Riot wants runes is to force you into buying runes and rune pages spending either money or more time into the game to get it. I love League I've played it for rounding on 5 years now. However this is simply ridiculous, runes will be a balance problem as long as they are in the game and to see the video where they say for the second time they know runes are a problem yet not actually address the problem AGAIN is an issue. We have enough problems with ADC's getting completely screwed over for months at a time. Tanks being absolutely atrocious in the amount of damage they can deal and take, for months at a time again, and then we get this lethality buff that absolutely destroys the champion diversity at all levels of play. The fact that riot is going to push it's money making agenda rather than actually help the 100 million active users is what's most upsetting. Riot, you make enough money, you really do. Make the game now please.

I mean,once your level 18 or something you get now keystone skills,like courage of the colossus. I for one like the masteries but runes can use changes,as to get a full set for ONE page is like 7K IP or so. the stat boosts are nice but the price for good runes are way too high.but if you go all of the same runes and a quint or two you can get something like 10% base CDR at level 1
