Hi!
Am I the only guy who thinks runes are too expensives? :3 Because 1025 to 2050 IP for 1 quintessence is realy too much. The most stupid thing is marks / glyphs / seal . Most of them** cost 410 and 820 each ones**. It realy takes a lot of time to get the IP to compleat a page. When you are new on the game and when you want to buy new champs, you can't because to face you oppenend, you need runes...
Do someone think as me? :3
don't worry runes are getting reworked in s4
The cheaper they are, the less new players are pressured into buying Champions or IP Boosts with RP to afford them.
I for one want them either completely removed, or at least heavily reduced in number, to like 1 - 2 slots per category.
It's much easier to balance the game that way and it's less on the burden of grinding too, win - win.
Riot is a business first and foremost, they need to make money. Runes beneficially help to envaluate IP boosts and RP pricing on champions.
compleat : complete
you opponend : your opponent
The general consensus with the community is yea, runes are too expensive.
It's never going to change though. When I was gathering all my runes/pages, I ended up buying champions with RP when I really wanted a new one, which is exactly what Riot wants. Bastards.
The look on my face when I reached Level 30, then realized I needed to spend a fortune in IP to buy tier 3 runes. In the end, I just said "fuck it" and bought the tier 1 runes, which only cost 5 IP each.
_> Meanwhile I have every rune in the game, and every champ I like/dislike meh. I also have over 100k ip rotting away . . . . . . .
2 sets of penetration marks (no way to get around buying two sets of marks unless you don't play an entire half of the champ pool) 1 set of flat armor or flat health seals 1 set of flat or scaling Mr glyphs 1 set of attack speed or movement speed quints
= 2 rune pages that are good on all champs :)
:( Yeah runes are too expensive. But this is one of those things where they are a business and forcing you to save up ip for runes encourages you to spend rp on things that ... well that you can actually spend it on. It's the way to get you to spend Rp on things that you can also get with IP. And it's something they kind of have to do to stay in business.
Yes I recently started playing Katerina and building a new rune page is HARSH not only do I have to get the page but also the 2050 ip Quints along with all of the runes its rediculous!
This has been brought up so many times already
Just buy t2 quints until you have a good pool of champs. This will save you thousands of IP that you can use on champs, or more t3 marks/glyphs/seals. T3 quints can come later.
T2 AD quints will give you 1.5 less AD than T3 AD quints, but you're spending 300 ip instead of over 3000. Not saying buy all the t2 quints, but buy what you need to get the job done.
But it is still way too expensive for people that don't play 16 hours a day. For normal people, it could literally take a year to get a few champs and a couple generic rune pages.
Don't worry, it only took me 3 years and several thousand games to buy every champion and all of the runes that I want.
While i would like a small rune cost drop, it does not take too long to gather enough IP to buy a couple of runes. Plus, the grind is worth it in the end because people rarely use RP for IP boosts, their too worried about their fancy skins.
U can get 250 ish IP a day in ARAM with your FWOTD. thats 1750 IP a week for about 3.5 hrs of "work"
I honestly don't mind the price that much. Compared to what they were back in the day, these are like pennies.
Maybe if you drew a pretty picture of a rune and put it under story and art, riot might actually respond.
410s aren't awful. 820s fucking suck though. That, and rune pricing is arbitrary as fuck
