I have something I've been wondering if people would think about discussing: runes that give you the most bang for your buck, as far as cross-hero usage goes. I understand that there is a lot of personal preference involved depending on play-style, but I figure there must be a few runes that are widely agreed upon to be useful for many different heroes. (ArPen for ranged AD carries, imo; etc)

For example, you're just hitting level 20 where you can acquire Tier 3 runes worth keeping, what should you buy? Naturally, you'd find someone who has refined the art of runes for a specific character and buy those. But that's a pretty decent chunk of IP for one hero worth of runes, what if they're very specific for that champion and have very little crossover value to other champions?

Ex: You get rune X to better hero A's jungling capabilities, but rune X isn't even close to optimal for Champion B, C, D or E.

So: What runes have the most crossover value?

Generally you can get away with

Quints: Flat hp works on everyone otherwise any kind of pen

marks: Armor pen or magic pen

seals: mp5 per level (assuming you play mostly mana champs, otherwise hp/lvl)

glyphs: mp5 per level or magic resist per level

this thread is so depressing...

gtrsrs seems to be stuck on the TL view of Ashe from a year ago and it seems like he's not the only one . Ashe is easily top 5 ranged carries and IMO is tied with twitch for #2 ranged carry atm (corki's #1, sry but you haven't play enough vs. new Corki if you don't believe this yet). Essentially, everyone hits hard enough if they have OK base stats, OK attack animation at high Attack Speeds, and an Infinity Edge and Last Whisper. So then you need to weigh the other abilities out and frankly ECA is the single best ranged carry skill in the game. Doing more damage in great and all, but the combination of AoE Slow, perma Slow and an incredible initiation/counter-initiation global stun/AoE slow nuke is absolutely amazing and unique on a character that can also be your carry. Carries are traditionally very very weak in teams of CC, and having one of the strongest CC skill sets in the game on your ranged carry opens up a whole lot of options for the rest of your team comp.

EDIT: oh yea and from my short experience in DotA, Mages seem to last much longer in terms of dealing good damage in LoL, but they do still taper off towards the end to an extent.

Great comeback from a TL 5s today. Unfortunately I don't havethe screenshot, but we had Rugfeeder on #2 best bird solo top, IntoTheWow solo mid as #1 best bird, EDWARIAN jungle Udyr, and Teemo (Ghenxx) Malphite (forgot who T_T) bottom against Leblanc Ashe Olaf Sona Morgana.

Game starts, of course, with their double jungle Olaf/Sona ganking me at level 3. WHAT. Rugfeeder too pro, yo.
Anyways, at about 20 minutes in they win a couple of important teamfights and have total map control for the next ~20 minutes. During this time period they all run bot and push it from river so we run up and ninja Baron, which is enough of a buff for us to take down their rampaging Olaf, though at the cost of three of us.
Anyways, this apparently scares them enough that they stop pushing as hard and we dance around our jungle for a few minutes before one of us catches one of them out of position and we ace them and take down their inhibitor.
Then we straight up lose the next teamfight, though ITW and Ghen survive iirc. They take inhibitor and are starting to kill nexus turrets. Olaf dives ITW, who is so fed that he ALMOST gets the kill through blind, zhonyas, and egg with BOTH nexus turrets shooting him.
Anyways, we kill olaf, then sona, ashe, and morgana (leblanc was farming top) and run straight to their nexus and win as olaf respawns. SO INTENSE.
