Rune prices are absolutely insane.

410 IP for AS MARKS. Nearly 4k IP for 9 standard runes that don't even have a reason to be so expensive because they're not quints. MS Quints are 2k each. How does it make sense to have 1 rune page be over 10k IP? Rune pages themself are over 6k IP.

You could halve the price of every rune and still people would be forced to buy RP for IP boosts and champions. Or at least normalize the prices. Bring the 2k quints down to a more reasonable 500-1000 IP, and the basic runes (glyphs, seals, marks) should not be over 200 ip each. There's no reason for AS marks to be 4x the cost of AD marks when they have nearly the same efficiency. All this does is hurt champions that need particular runes to thrive and give them arbitrary requirements to succeed with.

Sorry, but you'll have to choose between champions and runes for a month or two. Runes are a big part of the game, they aren't just some free permabuff you buy because you feel like it. They can win or lose a game depending on what setup each person has, and they're priced to reflect that.

Besides, they chopped the prices for some runes a few months ago.
