I am not a fan of the new rune / mastery system heres why
No longer can you have 1-2 generic pages that can encompass multiple setups, for example, an old AS quint, ad red, armor yellow, and MR blue page could fit any AD style champ, while not optimal it would cover it fairly well.
This new system provides so little to early game stats for champs who desperatly needed them to be effective
The old MR quint, Pen red, armor yellow MR blue runes has the same encompassing issue of no longer being present so you are forced to pick between random ass runes or another set of random ass runes
Mages mid are easily getting stomped by ADs like zed and yas now to the point of it being rather sad
Half the "runes" provide the most bullshit thing, like poros in brush when you walk through them? WHY GIVE FREE VISION, seriously, uncounterable FREE VISION
It completely ruins game modes like aram which were designed for fun to begin with
They cripple the notion of needing wards in other lanes... why ward when you can just walk into a bush?
I get the concept of needing a change, but the change last season was in the right direction... this crap feels stupid, so stupid
The new runes are far too vague on what they actually do... one of them says it adds life steal when you hit enemies.... HOW MUCH? seriously how much? why is everything written in this archaic ass code that no one understands the actual values...
You guys didnt have issues writting books in the tooltip for jhins passive when he first came out, but cant add a few lines to a new rune description?
whaaatttttt....
providing 5 generic ass rune pages to get people started is sickening, it defeats almost all of the old customization people use to love.
The options have been horrifically limited
Why must i only have 2 custom rune pages? sure i can spend my essence on them and lose out on getting champs while i buy page after page... but when the old system allowed 2 rune pages to effectively cover every champ you could want to play, and this new system is so rediculously limited, how does that transfer over make any sense at all? it doesnt.
Lets not even mention how unfun the games are.
It has nothing to do with the over all changes, but more the feel of things since, its just not fucking fun anymore
