I reached level 30 2 days ago and never bought any runes and still haven't bought any runes or play a ranked match yet. I've just been playing normal blind pick summoner's rift. I find it difficult to play against the enemy team who keep showing up as level 30 ranked players. Do you think I should've bought runes after i turned level 30 to make it easier because ever since I reached level 30 its been harder for me to play summoners rift because all i have are masteries. and I can't get my kills like i did before i reached level 30

When I started playing League I started with bots, then moved up to normal games. As I was leveling up I didn't buy any runes while I was playing during the (bot games stage) Around level 20 You should start buying runes with you Lp that you saved up as you move on to normal games. If you played and leveled up to LV 30 you should start to buy them. Runes are very important to the Champions kit that you wish to play as.

Yes, you need runes. You're basically going into lane at an 800 gold deficit compared to other players because of all those stats.

Just get Armor seals, MR glyphs, MS quints, and then AD and magic pen marks. You can use those to make one page for AD champs and one page for AP champs and be covered pretty well for most situations.

For the champions you play most (Tryn-Yas-Yi) I'd recommend you just get Attack speed quints AD reds flat armor yellows magic resist blues

once you have a lot IP you have room to play around with like crit damage runes, cdr blues stuff like that but youll likely most often need the ones i suggested (that's also an ADC page if you ever go bot lane)

Yes, it would have been a good idea. You could even have been buying them all along as well if you wanted; they are useful.

Runes are very necessary now that you are level 30. Runes provide small, but significant statistical advantages for your champion and improve their performance. As you have noticed, you have been playing with a bit of a handicap since you are playing without them.

I don't how much IP you have for runes so to start with, I recommend you buy Flat AD Marks and Flat Armor Seals to start with because they are cheap and good on everyone, because every champion autoattacks and every champion get hit by autoattacks.

I made this account to coach and teach some other new players so need more League help, you can add me, I'll be on later today

There are a few rune sets I consider to be staples.

Flat Armor Yellows
Flat Magic Resist Blues

The type of champions you play determine what you buy first. If you're a melee bruiser type then you want flat Attack Damage reds and Attack Damage quints, and if you play a marksman than you can get Attack Speed quints instead.

If you're more of a mage player than you want Magic Penetration reds and Ability Power quints.

Once you start to have general pages that work for a wide variety of champions, you can begin to customize the pages with other runes to your liking. For instance you can pick scaling runes if you prefer gaining stats each time you level up or swap out armor with health.
