Sometimes I wonder why I can't win

and it's because people enter ranked after 50 normal wins and use these amazing rune pages http://i.imgur.com/9RpVC25.png.

It is no wonder the toxic Kennen kept pinging for help after dying 3 times before my 2nd buff was even cleared - he was at a disadvantage. The 12-0-3 Malzahar had his, you know, basic AP page which consists of 9 magic penetration marks, 9 armor yellows, 9 magic resist blues, and 3 ability power quintessences. It would have made the Kennen's gameplay experience a tad bit better had he been informed of proper rune page setups, or if he had played more games. Not only was the Kennen at a disadvantage, our team was too. He became frustrated and AFK'd soon after dying 8 times.

If Riot incorporated a rule in which players had to play more games before playing Ranked, that would be great.. or better yet give new players a link to Phreak's basic rune page guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgBhSnIt4RM and get rid of tier 1 and 2 runes in general. So I guess, in a way, rune page guidance could keep frustration out of the picture since frustration usually leads to AFK'ers AFK'ing.

Yeah, that is 100% the worst rune page I've ever seen. I knew what the standard AD/AP rune pages were and started saving for them before I hit 20. It's not like the information isn't obviously available. That said, I don't think it would kill Riot to have example rune pages per class in the store.

Ie: Under the filters section, there's an additional drop down. If you select "Marksmen", Tier 3 AS Quints, AD reds, Armor Yellows, and MR/AS Blues would show up.

Runes are overwhelming for newer players, and many don't ever catch on to the idea of getting just one type of a certain kind of rune.

you are going to lose around 50% of your games. that is you, me and everyone. that is the way riot has designed it. you can blame it on afks trolls rune pages whatever you want. you aren't going to win much more than that and you aren't going to lose much more than that.
