Rune pages make no sense???

TheAwsomeOneKill·11/9/2017, 2:08:11 AM·3 votes·445 views

So let me get this straight,

if I payed for additional rune pages before, I get those rune pages now right?

But you can't buy rune pages anymore . . . so does that mean I have a permenant extra rune page advantage over everyone else who never bought extra rune pages?

Like these runes aren't general at all anymore, they're so hyper specific (as admitted by Riot themselves) that it seems ridiculous you're only letting people have 2 rune pages.

And riot, you said yourselves, you believe that runes should be free . . .

So you cant charge us if you plan to implement rune page purchase in the future Meaning you will be giving us more rune pages for free . . .

right . . ??? It just seems a bit unfair that I have more rune pages than others, which would be fine . . . if these runes actually functioned like the old runes (that is, could be extremely general for multiple diff champs instead of so hyperspecific like masteries)

Tbh the whole thing seems contradictory. Why would you provide us with a more variegated rune system that's not general, but put an even GREATER limit on those same rune pages.

And dont even get me started on the snowball encouragement (cough cough scaling everything stacks stacks stacks cough cough)

Honestly i agree with the snow ball ability cause now hyper carries are now gods in league and You better FF@15 if they get 3 kills for free.[sg-soraka]

You can edit your pages in the pregame, and you probably should be doing that tbh. The game is just snowbally atm because people are fighting too much because they don't know the limits of their champions and therefore the kills/min is much higher than the end of a season where we all spent a year fine tuning. I think it's actually in a pretty good state atm, I just hope the new rune system doesn't get too distilled into "standard" pages for roles/champs.

The problem is if too many people cry and don't embrace change, Riot will do what they've done before on the balance side, and basically engineer things so that you don't need any creativity or foresight in order to pick the appropriate options. So please just play and have fun. Try to relax and realize that it might take some time for the game and meta to balance out. It's not going to be perfect overnight, but at least this isn't the same stale old thing the last 2 years have been. Rant over.

Well, I do not see the point of having multiple runes in the new system. I had 15 runes pages in the old system and now I have 7 presets and can create 15 new runes what i will not do (I can always treat them like masteries and do that during champion select). On another account I had two runes pages in the old system, i can create two new runes in the new system. This is really Hilarious how Riot is treating ppl who have spend years building skills and getting rewarded. Now all mean nothing. My two runes is equivalent to my 15 runes cause I do not see any point to prebuild them, I just have to do that during champion selects... The rewards that i had for having runes and runes pages were so meaningless cause I had all the champions and skins are still depend on money and Orange essence. The games is become more frustrating, and i think they should really rethink to system. New players seems to set for failure, they can build up their champions faster and consequently spending less time to master them. Old player got nothing... I feel so bad for us. The design look so good to blind player from the reality. Even if the system is set to give more BE than it used to give IP, but this is after you level up. Basically I think we have to play average 10 games before you really get rewarding. Imagine if you 10 BE short to get a new champions, you have to play games after games before you can do that, if you only play 2 games a day, it will take you days to see and try thin new champs.
