Got rid of the shitty old system, so there's that

The successes of the new system do not outweigh the massive failures it also brought.

For example, they're impossible to balance properly. Most champions cannot use more than 2 keystones and even fewer can use keystones from different trees effectively.

Additionally, previous runes actually encouraged customization. While there were staple runes for all champions, almost all champions could viably use other runes for varying playstyles and complimenting them.

The only notable successes was removing a gate to ranked play and making runes fully available to everyone. Everything else has simply been a balance nightmare from day 1 and Riot knows this.

Season 8 has been a total mess. "Runes Reforged" has turned this game into casual fest. League is pure garbage.

Riot changes the game just for the sake of change. Instead of fixing issues, the inept balance team keeps doing dumb shit.

  • Overloaded Runes
  • Overpowered Runes
  • Overpowered Champions
  • New Overpowered champions with overloaded kits
  • RNG Elements
  • Zoe
  • Klepto
  • Dragons
  • Plants
  • Scuttle crab
  • 0-10 Ban System
  • Auto-fill
  • Bot Lane Shit Changes
  • In-game quests

**Season 8 has been a huge failure, period. **

I just think the balance team doesn't know how to work with it yet. Its so insanely complex to try to balance masteries and champions and items.... and there are many items and TONS of champions....

How even DO you balance that? Can you? Is that why it seems like shit is hitting the fan?

.... but did they not all plan this new system together? Surely there was a plan how to maintain it... or testing... like... what happened?

This game was already going to shit before the new rune system, however, the new rune system wasn't that straw that broke the camel's back, it was the first boulder to rain down on the poor camel from the landslide that soon followed.

Bring back old masteries and runes, make them free for everyone, and make them editable in champ select.

They're alright to me some things they did very well like the hunter line in domination, but others not so much. Overall I still think the S4-S5 runes and masteries were much better and would rather have them over this.

Everyone has some very interesting questions. Nunu

Runes Reforged as a concept is fine. Having a few impactful choices is more interesting than just a whole bunch of small numbers that eventually do add up (and gave the illusion of choice when in reality most champions only actually had a single mastery setup that worked for them outside of gimmick builds).

There being too much damage has nothing to do with the concept of Runes Reforged, but the execution.

Also, they are partially tuning it back towards the old system with the new sub-runes that give stats instead of them being tree-specific. They're like the old runes but condensed into 3 slots instead of 27 (not counting quints).

I think you meant to say "rune removal and mastery renaming".
