Could potentially riot's flashly rune pages be the main issue right now?

First it was keystones buffing champions well beyond what they should be at normally. Then breaking the attack speed cap, or free burst damage, and insane defensive buffs... How about we got back to an older system where it's purely stat boosts, and nothing ridiculous. You could... idk, make every rune free, and have a clearer more attractive setup. (Maybe 6 or 7 free rune pages, you stingy assholes.) Then make it very clear for new players. MR: Flat, gives less overall benefit, but more in the beginning. MR: Scaling, gives more overall benefit, but less in the beginning. ETC, ETC, ETC. This way you could effectively set up counters and enhancements to your champion without being beyond ridiculous. I don't know if masteries should be revisited, but I honestly don't think they really need to exist.

Heh riot won’t even use a lobe of their brain to return the old rune system. It’s not like one rune kept it balanced when taking damage, however as you see now it’s basically accidents making things op, take jinx for example over buffed, brand and lux have the same bug of extending skillshots when moving. Riot isn’t screwing up ; they just don’t realize, not everything is viable and on the hopes of parts of everything are, then why does pro play matter? They nerfed Azir left and right due to pro play, they did the same for taliyah making her a jungler, Aurelion sol who was pretty much nonexistent became meta since roaming is somehow the main job of a midlaner. Toplane brusiers were under tanks not it’s the opposite instead of both having an equal chance. Numerous problems.

Though it’s safe to say anything that takes skill, can’t add up to a meta where all most every easy champion in game is over buffed, or any hard champion just becomes mad op or mad weak when they don’t get fed. It’s at the point where you would build a champion pool first of all most every easy champion or you just find a different role.
