Okay, so I've looked around, but haven't found this specific question. I may have overlooked it, and if I did, well, apologies for bringing up the topic again. My question/s is/are, in regards to the bonus caps, like Cooldown capped at 40% and Atk Speed 2.5, does this include the runes and masteries? Or are the caps only in relation to in-game items? I'm very curious cause this hasn't been specifically mentioned, at least not in a thread I've found. Reason being, of course, is if it does include runes and masteries, I could obviously allocate runes/points to different areas that could be more beneficial, or use my gold in-game on something else. Thanks in advance for the response.Shaco

This is a very good question, and I would like to know the answer myself.

Good question, but even with the runes you could have in tier 1 why are you worried? I dont think its even possible to reach caps with the runes and quints you have available. And when you get tier 2 or 3 its most likely in game items atleast thats what I would think personally I never worried about caps as far as having 40% attack speed lol.

The in game caps (CDR < 40% and AS < 2.5) are absolute regardless of where you get the CDR or AS from. So yes, even if it's in runes or masteries, you can't pass those cap values.
