Is it worth it to buy runes before level 20? People are really giving me mixed opinions about this one.
It definitely doesn't hurt much. Especially if all you get is runes for 15 IP. That would be ~300 IP total, which is only like 2-3 games worth of IP. Those runes won't work wonders, but can make your play much smoother.
For example: T1 MP5L runes only cost 15 IP, but they allow you to stay in lane for quite a bit longer if you have mana issues. It probably won't decide games, but having to go back for mana or waiting for mana is annoying.
If you get 15 T1 runes and 2 T2 runes (or 20 T1 and 1 T2 etc.), you can cube them all into 1 T3 rune once you make the switch. If you are lucky it'll be a useful one.

Only if you want to play junglers, imo. Jungling is HEAVILY affected by your runeset and masteries. You can dominate the lower levels without any runes if you don't jungle much.
I personally got lvl 1 mp5/lvl runes, they cost 15 ip each so you only lose maybe 200 ip max and they help immensely.
EDIT: oops I ended the ezreal game 10-3-8 w/e
IN OTHER NEWS:
1401 elo! Yeaaahhh!!! 300 left for my primary goal.

I'm not bothering to buy runes pre-20. I did buy Kayle and Ashe today though just because they're only 450(!!) IP.

RIOT doesn't know how to balance a hero, look what happened to heimerdinger. either too little (teemo lol) or too much.

I think you should reconsider, enough t1 runes to fully complete your page would only be like 450 and they're something like 70% as effective as t3 runes.

That sucks, I'm installing SC2 right now lol.
To be fair, SC1 vanilla wasn't nearly as good as BW...

You're guaranteed to enjoy at least SP. As long as you don't mind every mission having a "do some shit before time expires" kind of objective, you will enjoy it.

Eeehhffff. I have 800 points or so left over so I guess I'll look into it. I'll have to look at what runes to get for Garen, though. I'm guessing armour/mres-related ones, server's currently down so I'm not entirely sure what's on the menu.

Garen should require quite an unique runeset in a sense that he has almost no use for the standard HP quints. Imo APen reds, MRes/18 yellows, flat CDR blues and MS quints, but other people might know better. Dodge seals should also be nice with that mastery that gives you +10% MS after dodging an attack. You kinda need MS alot.

I definitely agree on the count of needing MS, haha. Can't get enough of it on him. Are there any other runes to do with MS?

CoordinatorH, anyone here can feel free to add me. I'm level 9 and not very good. I'm familiar with the concepts of laning, showing up for team fights, itemisation, last hitting, harassment, and I enjoy long walks on the beach. I played Juggernaut in DoTA (badly).

Apparently I didn't make it to Top 1500 ?????

High elo and ladders don't mean anything, if this game really takes off and there'll be replays and actual teams and clans where you'll play in coordinated battles in tournaments. Solo queue is garbage in dota and HoN as well, they're all about the actual organised battles of the different teams and clans, involving a team leader and good co-ordination.
The current system of course isn't good yet, I play it for the potential future. Since they're in WCG, replays and such should be coming out soon if they want to keep the credibility going.

I'm really curious about where people find the patch notes. My game just updated, so I went to the homepage and the release note category. But there wasn't any thread about it there.
So wehre do people find the patch notes? And could anyone link me to the last patches notes?
