Just wanted to say that AP/lvl glyphs only give 28 AP at level 18 rather than 31. I read the OP and after i bought my runes I was like...what only 28 AP?!??!

You should put a general page guide in there for each champ type spud, just to give people a guide on what typical high level players run, minus the slight variations.

For example, Id add oddone's standard jungle page, which will work with every jungle in the game-
8aspeed, 1armpen red, armor yellows, mr/lvl blues, armpen quints.


ehh.. fiddle, nunu, amumu are just few among many that wouldn't like this page very much

but this could count as one of generic jungle pages, true

The page actually was initially for Nunu only before he started using it with other junglers.

So I'm trying to decide whether or not to buy ap per level yellows but unsure of what other characters would benefit from using them. I have Karthus and Anivia so that's only two characters, any other champs come to mind for using ap level yellows?

If you play any chars with heal spells, then the AP might come in handy there, otherwise flat armor or mana regen might be more useful for seals.

edit- I mean, if you don't have those already, of course .

Maybe even Poppy or Nidalee

Morgana needs some AP to be able to one-shot mage minions with tormented soil at level 5. Doran + AP/level runes is enough, though you'll need to buy some AP a bit after that, with minions' stats growth. Of course if you tend to often back before level 5 to buy AP you probably won't need it, but I don't think it's a good thing in the first place;

If your focus are AD carries and you know you can play full on balls to the wall (duoing with a support you can 100% trust) pick up AS yellows and blues and run armor pen reds, AS yellows, blues and AD quints.

I just run AD quints/marks on almost all my AD champs, ranged or not, nowadays. Makes life simpler.

no, I'm just saying that running flat AD marks with ArPen Quints is 100% worse than the other way around.

hey so lets say u already have a lot of runes, and specifically want to buy to a gangplank/tryndamere set. should i be going for +crit damage, or +crit Chance stacking? i know the difference between these two is that crit damage would scale very well in late game, but chance wouldnt and i dont know how much one would cripple me.

anyone experiment with this stuff?

I personally prefer to have ap blues and mana regen yellows, if anything. Never even really considered ap yellows as a viable option.

People do AP yellows because there aren't many "good" yellow options. Flat armor is kind of meh, mp5 isn't particularly great because it takes a number of levels to ramp to a decent amount and by that point you usually have large mana pools or are whoring blue buff, and hp/lvl is also kind of meh for mages. It's also the idea that you can build full offensive to try and get an early advantage and then milk that through the laning phase.

Seals really need some love. Every other rune type sits around wearing sunglasses and being awesome, but yellow just huddles in the corner reading with its shitty, regular coke bottle glasses.

Yee, I agree with this. I run flat mp5 instead of scaling mp5, since the regen is most useful in the early-mid game. Mid-late you are hogging blue, and might have even bought some bonus mana items.

Question: I really only play junglers or AP, so I'm just finishing off my pages for those two roles. For physical damage junglers (Nocturne, Jarvan, LS, etc) I'm running ArPen marks, flat armor seals, and scaling MR glyphs, with flat AD quints. I was going to change the quints to ArPen, since that'll give me enough to do true damage to all the monsters pre-6 iirc. Good idea or bad idea?

I also need flat AP quints for my AP page, on which I run MPen marks, flat mp5 seals, and scaling ap glyphs....

Many monsters don't have 25 armor. For example, twin golems have 12. Your ArPen mark/ AD Quint page is better for jungling. However, Full ArPen scales better into the lategame.

While this ArPen mark/ AD Quint craze is going on, I would like to remind TL that full ArPen does more dmg to targets with >= 25 armor. The reason why ArPen mark+Quint is falling out of favor is because many champions don't have 25 armor at level one. Also, easier lasthitting, AD ratios etc. Or they lazy as 5hit.

How does AP/lvl blues being the best blues for AP champs change whether or not AP/lvl yellows are the best yellows?

More AP always good.

Part of it is also probably that people realized that despite being "secondary" seals, the slot-effectiveness of AP/lvl seals is really not that bad. They're not as efficient as HP/lvl seals, but they're on par with stuff like armor seals in terms of where their gold value should be. Certainly not as bad as, say, flat armor glyphs.
