What Runes?

Level 27! Getting ready for ranked (probably after a week of playing level 30 non-ranked) got a decent champion pool, saving up for rune pages and runes and delicious things like that. What general rune-sets should I be looking to have by the time I hit 30? I already have runes for my main role (Support), but I'm trying to get up a nice collection for when I'm jungling too (and I guess the off-chance I get neither Jungler nor support).

What rune sets should I aim for? Keeping in mind that my IP is kinda limited right now (also need to buy pages pretty soon), what runes are useful for a variety of champs/roles? Hoping to have specialized rune pages later-on, but I really need some cost-effective runes right now until then.

for when I'm jungling too

Flat Armor Seals. While there are some possible variations on what to take for individual champions, those are a given on practically all champions in the Jungle.

It really depends on what type of champions you like to play and how you like to play them. I'm a sucker for movespeed, so I have those quints on a few rune pages. Do you like AD/AP Assassins? Get Penetration marks, armor or HP seals, MR glyphs, and AD/AP quints. Prefer adc? Get flat AD marks and Attackspeed or Lifesteal quints. If you're not sure of what to get, or want a page that will benefit most champions, I think the best marks to get are AD marks, because pretty much everyone can use them. They go great with any AD champ, it helps with last hitting for mages and even supports can use the extra AD to harrass. Plus they're really cheap. And just get HP or Armor for seals and MR for glyphs because that will help pretty much any champion too. I still think you should tailor your rune pages to who you like to play most, however.

Your going to need an ap and ad rune page. As for the runes that you should be getting immediately, no question, that would be armor seals. Probably 80-90% of rune pages use these because they are most efficient.

For Quints you could get movespeeds. You can use these both on your ad and ap and, even though some people will hate on them, if you are playing a champ that can easily be kited (most tanky bruisers) it can help a ton. In fact, on almost every champ using these quints you practically start out with boots, which is 325 gold.

Depending on the champ, you could get either as or ad reds.

For glyphs, either get mr or ap, or cdr if it is really champ specific.

I remember turning 30 and thinking runes were the end of the world, but really, at the end of the day, this is all you need to know. Eventually you should be getting Mark of magic pens, ap quints, and things like that (if you main ap go with this rather than as and ad) but it wont make that big of a deal.

As for dont play ranked when you turn 30, dont listen to that. Getting placed in bronze and silver... so what? If you belong there youll go there, but you will probably land silver in your placements like most people. Btw, a week probably aint gonna do nothing unless you real life afk and play 24/7. Just play ranked and enjoy yourself.
