Ok, so I have bought quit a few champions and friends have suggested that I should runes instad. I looked it up and found it very confusing. I have 1 rune page from the beginning right? How many do I need? And which runes should I buy? I know that I only should Tier 3 ones. Here are my champions: Garen, Zed, Ashe, YI, Annie, Teemo, Twisted Fate, Darius, Evelynn, Jax and Riven. I have 5,6k IP.
Ill leave this here <3

I would say go to mobafire, compare rune builds of your ad champions and then ap champions
And make 2 basic rune pages to begin with.
for example, my basic ad runes are: 3 flat AD quints, 9 flat armor seals, 9 ad marks and 9 flat magic resist glyphs and my basic ap runes are : 3 flat AP quints, 9 armor seals, 9 magic pen marks and 9 flat ap/mr glyphs
Rune pages can be expensive for newer players so that's why i recommand you to play normals until you have around 4 rune pages
You start with 2 rune pages. Extra rune pages costs 6300 IP each, which is WAY too much. A rune page sale (2 for the price of 1) literally just ended 4 days ago. So don't bother buying more rune pages until the next sale (likely 6 - 9 months).
2 rune pages is a good start anyways. Here are the two core rune pages you should have:
Cheapest Core option: page 1 - AD Marks - Flat Attack Damage Seals - Flat Armor Glyphs - Flat MR Quints - Attack Speed
page 2 - AP Marks - Magic Penetration Seals - Flat Armor Glyphs - Flat MR Quints - Flat AP
I believe all of these runes were part of the 50% permanent discount that happened a few weeks ago, and you also repeat the seals/glyphs across the two pages, so it's very cost effective.
If you're willing to spend a bit more IP, make the following changes: If you play ADC a lot, change the flat MR to MR/level, as your lane opponent is an ADC so you don't need the MR at the early levels as much. If you play AP champions mid a lot, you may benefit from having a few Health seals instead as most of your lane opponents will be AP (however Health seals are really expensive).
Once you manage to buy more rune pages (i.e. get 2 in the next sale), I'd recommend having the following 4 pages: page 1 - AD (as above) page 2 - AP vs AD - the AP page above, but with either MR/lvl glyphs or CDR/lvl glyphs, as you don't need MR against an AD lane opponent. page 3 - AP vs AP - the AP page above, but with flat health instead of flat armor, as you don't need armor against an AP opponent. page 4 - Tank Marks - Armor Seals - Health (or some Armor) or Health/level Glyphs - MR or MR/level Quints - Armor
The 2-page core gives you enough to not be at a disadvantage early. The 4-page improvement lets you specialize a little more. Both will help you.
you start with 2 rune pages to begin with
there are 4 types of runes: red marks, blue glyphs, yellow seals, and quints.
most people say to only buy tier 3 runes. when I started ranked, I actually bought tier 2 quints for attack speed and AP so that I had SOME stats and that was fine, but if you aren't doing ranked yet just save up for the tier 3. you probably shouldn't do ranked 'till you got some full pages anyway, I was greedy :D
start out with 9 flat AD marks, 3 attack speed quints, 9 armor seals, and 9 magic resist glyphs on your AD page
for your AP page start with those 9 armor seals and 9 magic resist glyphs, and also get 9 magic penetration marks and 3 ability power quints.
I'd recomend just buying the 7 rune page bundle, I did and then slowly filled them all out with more runes.
right now what I use for runes across those pages are, in order of most useful, marks: flat AD, magic penetration, armor penetration, armor, attack speed, hybrid penetration seals: Armor, scaling HP, flat HP glyphs: flat magic resist, ability power, flat cooldown reduction, scaling magic resist, scaling cooldown reduction quints: attack speed, ability power, movement speed, attack damage, armor. I know some people use gold income on some support champs but I haven't bothered to buy those yet. so far I haven't had any need for any more runes with all of those, it took me a lot of time to get that many though. at this point I'm just getting champs anymore.
do a google search for rune pages. I have a site I use lots, champion.gg I just search a champ and it tells me the most popular rune page for the champ as well as the highest win percent.
