Possible Idea for getting runes
To my knowledge and after looking briefly over any possible ideas for how to buy runes in a new way or to get them in any other way, there is none. So, after thinking it over and looking at several new aspects coming into the league, I was thinking of items that you can gain by playing games in the league. May sound stupid right? But what about this:
What? Every time you queue up for a game, you can select another button at the bottom (just below where you'd pick your primary and secondary roles) where you can select up to 3 non-quintessence runes and 1 quint rune. However, because of how pricey some runes are, you will need a certain amount of "runic shards" to gather them. For instance, 205 runes will only cost 1 shard and quints will need about 7-10. Why? Because of how pricey some runes can be, this would offer a new way to get them without feeling like you need to grind hundreds of games to get a full rune page. Of course these shards won't drop every game, but it would offer a way to get runes simply by playing. This would remove that grindy feeling you can get while saving for them and offer almost a game in a game. Summary When you queue up for a game, you can select 3 runes and 1 quint for a chance to get that rune's/quint's shards. Then. by crafting, you could get these runes with far less grinding to, well, get rid of the grindy feeling players can have while saving for these runes. I'm interested to see if the community would enjoy seeing something like this implemented to please leave your personal opinion below and maybe some suggestions of your own.
