Why do you guys put up with the Rune system? It's really stupid that people who grind more will have a STATISTICAL advantage. This advantage is beyond skill and for a game that claims to be competitive is down right silly. With Dota if there is a problem they go to the dev forums and talk to them. Why don't you guys do the same? The system is silly and has no place in a competitive game.
I personally hate the rune system but only because it is so damn expensive
It is a point that is being adressed right now, since some runes (ALL T1, T2 and avarice) are essencially noob-traps. However, they dont present that much of a huge advantage on higher tiers, since most people who play competitively already have either the proper rune setup, or the RP/IP to get the proper setup.
I rather like it, tbh. It adds another layer of decision making to the game. For example, I can build my runes to optimize for damage, defense, mobility, etc.
I think it's neat. You can use a standard rune layout, sure, but with some weird twists you can really run a weird playstyle more effectively.
It is expensive so people are reluctant to spend IP on champions and use RP instead.
People who grind more will be matched on average with people who grind more, it's that simple, plus I love customization
