Runes: The only thing you'll spend your next 10k ip on.

the rune system is INCREDIBLY barring for newer players, and I understand that it's not the main focus at the moment, but hear me out on this.

Why not have runes on sale with champions and skins? this would

  1. improve the visibility of runes
  2. make it easier for newer players
  3. accomplish literally the same thing, but taking half the time to achieve.

i'm under the impression runes should be free, just like Masteries. Unlocked by leveling.

like with each level you unlock runes. Riot can arrange which ones you unlock as you level as they deem appropriate.

Just makes so sense to have to buy runes.

i can understand having to buy rune pages. but runes....Nope.

yeah, I wish they were free too, but riot's got other ideas, so this is the best option until they realize runes are inherently toxic towards newer players.

in a game like league of legends that's been out for quite awhile it is even more important that you focus on the new player experience.

you need the new players to come and stay. Otherwise the game will die.

I believe runes being free is a step in the right direction. OR at the vary least...upon reaching either level 20 or 30 they should give you 1 free rune page worth of runes. Your Choice. you get to pick 9 marks, 9 seals, 9 glpyhs and 3 quints. Simply because a wise man who has invested IP into runes and not champions will always have an unfair advantage over the player who is slow buying runes. Player one may beat player two in lane even though player one is better in game simply because player two entered the game with a full rune page.

At the very least, One full rune page of runes.

I want runes to be free. But riot is seemingly set on not doing that, so I'm trying to find ways to reduce the cost of them.
