Is it bad that I only have flat AD and AP runes?

I have the simplest runes you can have. For AD I have AD reds armor yellows and MR blues with AD big ones and for AP I have MP reds armor yellows AP blues and AP big ones. Is it bad that I'm gold and only have two rune pages? People say it affects your winrate a lot but IMO it doesn't seem to...

nah. it's all personal preferance. i personally dont care for the flat armor and Mr runes for my tanks/juggernauts and instead run scaling HP5 and Mana5 seals and glyphs with spell vamp quints on my most used page.

they are fine,

I always run flat AD cuz i play aggro early.

the only thing i switch up is scaling armor/mr vs lanes i don't need the defence early

I've always run flat runes and I have several empty pages. Runes are too damn expensive.

Well if you have Armour yellows and MR blues you don't really have "just AD/AP runes" now do you?

I was expecting you to go balls to the wall with AD/AP Reds, Yellows and Blues.

I r disappoint.

I've got several pages for different roles. AD and lifesteal for junglers, AD and cdr for gnar, AP and magic pen, AD and armor pen, and for tanks I have flat armor and health regen.
My marks and quints are the only things that change though, I take scaling armor and mr on everyone. I'm not a big fan of flat resistances, since I prefer to play passive early game and you're a lot more durable post-6 with scaling runes.

thats a fine page.

It's a good start. But for some match-ups you want specific pages. I don't know your role/lane. But say you are up against a Fiora or Riven or the like. Heavy ad early dmg snowballers. You might want a page with heavy early armor to avoid feeding them early, after which they tend to fall off hard. Or just a basic "Just let me farm" page, that has nothing but tankstats. Scaling mr blue, scaling armor yellow and flat armor reds with flat mr quints.

i think attack speed quints are better than ad quints

also for an ap page - red mpen, yellow scaling health, 3 scaling mr blue 6 scaling cdr blue is very sweet for cdr dependent mages

Those two pages are perfectly fine. If you want to jungle i would suggest looking up some pages with attack speed but the gains are marginal.

I'd probably want a full tank page too, but really until rather high elo the micro-optimisations in runes aren't going to be significant compared to differences in raw skill.
