New Runes

RIOT has been posting the new rune ideas in their Dev Corner.

Frankly, I'm not too happy with anything rune related that I've seen there. I'll be much happier if I see clear evidence that the players will get a flexible, rich rune space that they (the players) can play with instead of just seeing developers create quirky runes (that are fun for developers to develop) with high impact on the game that we will all probably be forced to use (except Cassiopeia of course, since many of their ideas involve boots).

The most assuring thing I've read is that we will still be able to equip flat move speed, but it won't mean anything unless the rune space is something players get to really customize the way they want.

If I had to take a guess, I'd say RIOT needs to provide at least 30 of their quirky keystones to make that space meaningful and we need a good amount of space in the rest of the rune pages to have the micro-management necessary to trade out a little bit of something for a little bit of something else in a way that's lets us as players build non-standard stuff. right? I mean the whole point is that not everyone playing the exact same champion should build the exact same rune page. And by that I mean that it's fine if more than 50% of players do build the exact same rune page because they are too lazy to think about it. The space needs to offer the flexibility for champion mains to customize and actualize how they play the champion.
