What runes should I buy?

VikingRaid··2 votes·453 views

I have a nice amount of IP and I might buy some champions, though I want to make sure I have all the runes.

For marks I have 9 Flat AD, 9 Flat AS, and 9 Flat MP.

For seals I have 9 Flat armor and 9 scaling health.

For glyphs I have 9 flat cdr, 9 flat mr, 9 scaling MR, and 9 scaling AP.

For Quints I have 3 flat cdr, 3 flat AD, 3 flat MS, and 3 flat AP.

Depends on if you plan to main a particular champion or set of champions. Tailor them according to what is best-suited to what you are likely to use.

Sure, Rammus has a passive that adds more Attack-Damage the higher his Armour, and you would likely obtain Armour-Quints for him IF you use him a lot. Galio has a passive that adds more Ability-Power the higher his Magic-Resist, and you would likely obtain more Magic-Resist-Related Runes for him, except you will find that he's very mana-intensive, and will likely combine it with Mana-Regeneration (although with enough experience you learn not to spam his E in order to avoid always going OOM very quickly).

You will need to tell me which specific champions you use a lot or plan to use a lot for me to give more specific examples. For the sake of helping to give you a head-start against a lot of your competition, I would recommend that you start maining Maokai , for he can do any role that isn't ADC, and is a strong pick, and the Runes I would recommend that you don't already have are entirely Attack-Speed for both Marks & Quintessences. Use them for Maokai (Attack-Speed should be at 29% if both Marks & Quints are full of Attack-Speed).

Malphite also plays similarly to Maokai. Maokai has less counters than Malphite which is one of the reasons I would recommend you really learn & get your skills polished as Maokai.
