So I can't decide whether to buy Ahri, Jayce, or save up for runes. I played Ahri on my friend's account and I'm already better with her than him lol. Although I really want to try out Jayce because he looks so fun and strong to use. Then again people say runes help a lot when playing ranked and such. I also main mid AD. So I can't decide guys, please help me.
Edit:What I meant by saving up for runes is saving up for tier 3 runes
Deep Terror Nami2 votesDon't buy any Runes until you're level 20 and can buy Tier 3 (I think it's 20?). You can continue to save until you can buy a lot of Runes at once, but everybody will agree that getting a champion instead is way more fun (which is why the Rune system sucks).
I suggest Ahri. She's easier to use, and easier on the eyes ;P Jayce is really good when in the hands of a skilled player though, I think probably quite a bit more potential than Ahri. Though, one is AD and the other AP, so consider that as well.
In the end, just don't by Tier 1 or 2 Runes.
Alljoy1 votesConsidering where you are right now I think you'll have plenty of time before you get into Ranked so I'd probably suggest buying the champion you have the most fun playing with.
HalloweenDeath1 votesTier 1 mana per level runes op. Buy all of them! Jk.anyways, I wouldn't suggest jayce or ahri they're both very very difficult champions. I'd try to learn a tanky champion as your first main, Tanky champions are almost always effective no mater how far behide they are and they are quite easy to learn/master. If you don't like building tanky then settle for a bruiser(A half tank half damage dealer) I always found vladmir to be quite easy and he has a passive that makes him a high dmg bruiser. He has tons of sustain making him easy to lane with and you can use your q to last hit and gain health from it while doing that. I would not suggest jayce as he is a very very hard champion because he has 7 abilitys unlike the average 4. All of his abilities are very different from each other and he is very combo heavy, needing to do combos to be effective. Ahri is a safer pick if you wont settle for anything other then those 2 but she is also a hard champion to pick up because she is skillshot reliant and missing some of your skillshots in a fight will mean death. Jayce's main damage other then his autoattacks comes from his e,q combo which is also a skillshot but it's so quick and has a massive range that it's very easy to land. PS: I accidenly voted for jayce in the vote so ignore one of the votes on jayce and put it on ahri.

Deep Terror Nami1 votesIf you're considering his suggestions, you might like Swain as well.
What I did when I started (just early this year), I watched a ton of the pro games, both the Championship matches and high elo spectating from the clients main page. You'll see them pull off things you had no idea could be done, and you'll get hooked on something and KNOW what your next purchase is.
Kind of hard to watch Championship matches after the season is over though XD but the high elo spectating is there, along with Twitch.

How is a level 16 maining yasou. Dafaq. Well I guess level 16 is higher then bronze now. I'ma go back to Co-op vs AI now...
Exou1 voteslol I practice with my friends and he's not too hard to use, I just need to know how to fight certain characters I hate laning against
Deep Terror Nami1 votesI tried him. I'm terrible with him, which sucks because he's got a really fun kit. If you're good at him now, keep at it because you'll climb the ranked ladder quickly. Except that he's got a very high ban rate at lower elo (unsure about higher up, you can check on lolking).
