So we all have the common runes, but I was wondering if some of the non commonly used runes/not so good runes would be able to get buffed.
Example: Greater seal of gold (0.25 gold / 10 seconds) I mean i dont have to list every example, but yeah I think it'd add some diversity instead of same old runes, same old pages on literally everyone.
Theres only so many options you can go..
I do think they should buff most of the un/underused runes, but not the gold generation ones. If they buff the gold generation runes, it just encourages really passive laning phases and everyone picking scaling champions and not fighting till 20 mins. It would just make the game more boring. They can stay fringe. They also just feel bad to take as your champion is just statistically weaker in the early game (and the super late game), I'd much rather have stats in the early game than half to take runes that give me no combat benefit or risk getting outscaled in the mid game.
The other unpopular runes could definitely use buffs though.
Yea there are so many usless runes lyke health regen glyphs if you get 9 of them that nets you a whole 2 hp regen per 5 thats 0,4 per second aka beyond useless literally does nothing
so whats the point of their existance
i mean if this was base healthregen it would further scale with items making it a little better
same shit for armor glyphs marks etc its really pointless they are weak but if this was base armor it would be alot better and then you might choose to use it over the 12 bonus magic resist or 9 ad
Runes provide a boost to a stat that is typically overshadowed later in the game by items. While super useful early and mid game, depending on type, they don't have as significant of an impact once you get a few items built. Lets say an ADC has pen reds (or flat AD) and armor/mr blues/yellows. Make laning easier, but how much is 15 bonus armor going to help late game? It helps, but not a lot. Same with the ad marks, a nice 10% damage boost at level 1, but barely 3% with 3 items and a few levels. (No, I didn't run numbers there, just guessed a bit, but you get the idea)
Gold generation, though, is a significant boost at every point in the game. Well, at least until you hit full build. More gold directly relates to better items, which leads to other runes being overshadowed at an earlier point. Be wary buffing this.
I'm not against buffing runes that we don't see used often, but the impact of even a slight increase can dramatically turn the tables. This is a post telling of caution in the numbers, the hidden bits that you don't see until they're so broken you have to use them. Auras, anyone? Similar issue, to feel impactful they must be large enough to be seen, and by then they are so broken that they are oppressive.
I think it would be interesting to get a blog post regarding the use of different types of runes (by lane, build, whatever makes sense). It would help identify which runes are not used at all. Health regen, perhaps mana regen, and perhaps crit damage might need to be looked at, but are there some champs who exclusively use these runes (thinking vlad and morde perhaps for health regen?) that would become unbearable if there was a buff to the numbers?
riot needs to buff % Hp runes to shit because honestly they are noob traps since you need tons of health to break even with just flat hp
I posted a decent sized post about this. Got zero comments or votes :(
with shen having 400 energy energy runes are now impossible to balance for all energy Champions quite the bad move from riot
they need to buff the gold runes because they changed the gold in the game in preseason to more passive and global gold. also they need to buff supp items gold passively
Gold generation runes have to be on the weak side since the gold due to the fact they give you gold, but yea some runes could use a tune up.
buff my armor pen runes back to 1.7 per mark and 3.4 per quint pls :D
They are unlikely to touch runes outside of the preseasons. If they buff runes then new runes become the common runes and people are forced to invest more IP into the new runes to be equally effective.
