standard AD runes, the only runes you can play around with as AD are blues. If you come to lane with less AD or less armor you're gonna lose trades, unless you're good enough to know how to play the lane with your rune set in which case you can do whatever. There are basically three general category of bot lanes, poke, kill, sustain, and some are a mix of two.

Probably because that would feel too much like buying power. If you really want, you can buy an IP boost.

Correct. Riot policy is that money never buys actual power. You can get IP Boosts, but you have to work for that power. Even the "complete content unlock" referral reward doesn't unlock runes.

Some excuse about them not wanting to sell power

Yea, I think they should let people but 'em with RP but w/e.

Regarding Hecarim. If you're building him to deal damage, you're better off getting a BT. It's more shit for less money than 2 PDs. Hecarim's passive is not nearly as good as Vaporized seems to think it is. It's not the core of his kit, it's simply the cherry on top if you will. Hecarim's core ability that you should be building around is his W, imo. That's what makes Hecarim strong and unique; not his passive.

Sejuani seems like she'd use FM well. It makes her a walking slowbot and powers her W. BUT, it's completely wasted on her if you get 40% cdr. With Sej E, FM will increase the total slow from 70% to like...maybe ~80% if that. It's a neglible increase. With max CDR, your permafrost slow has a 4 second downtime, but a 70% slow by itself is practically a 3 second snare. It's the strongest slow in the game after Nasus Wither. Frozen Mallet simply does nothing for her. I mean heck, if you really want an item that gives more slow+hp even Rylais is better since it'll power your skills (they scale off AP) as well. I actually checked out the 2k elo guide Vaporized refers to and even in that guide he's not really "advocating for Frozen Mallet." He put it as a luxury item you can get when you have absolutely nothing else to get.

No idea on supports. I always thought that you would want all your skills on less of a cd, so ionian's would be ideal.

Mobos are ok on taric/crank since it gives you more room to catch people

build boots 5 on every support, gotta run fast for deep warding

I don't know why no one has runes while I have the core runes, hybrids, vamp, and other random shit, even 46% crit damage

Maybe it's because I only have 20 champions and 3 rune pages all bought with ip
Math doesn't kill champions and neither do wards

More like why can't I change my runes during matchmaking. So dumb when I get tired of just supporting/going mid, change my runes to ADC/top and then watch as I call top/ADC and two ppl instant lock an ADC/Top. -_-. Fuck choking up 6300 IP for another rune page.

I guess I could jungle with ghetto rune setups; no MS runes.

If you could change your runes it'd eliminate the need for spending money for rune pages.

runes are a lot more useful than skins. Unless you're being sarcastic, it's pretty hard to tell.

A lot of people just treat IP as basically an experience system, and then spend money only on stuff they can't get through IP, which is skins. Thus, the perceived value of skins is much higher then that of stuff you can get through IP

how exactly does anyone bot lane? i can't get the feel of it no matter what i do. i can't judge the damage output of 2 champions, and champs like graves (infinite burst, sustained damage, cc, lol balanced champ) and taric (infinite burst, cc, heal, lol balanced champ) are always fucking my day. i don't want to forego necessary bans like ali/naut but i also don't want to cave in and play graves. what do? how exactly am i supposed to get better at bot lane? i don't know how to play AD when i have a leona or blitz on my team - when they're on the other team i get bursted 100% of the time, when they're on my team i feel like any aggro action by them is going to result in my own death. is it about going balls deep? i'm determined to become a more well-rounded player even if it means another -400 elo to learn >:C

Try and duo with a friend that you won't rage at and who won't rage at you. Makes learning bot lane a lot easier. I really hated when AD carry started going botlane as I had the same issues of not being able to judge fights as well as I could in a solo lane but it's really just something that grows on you with time.

Ezreal is a really safe lane. So is Corki. Graves is bullshit and kind of hard to win trades with because of his passive (although W max Ez can beat him if you have a strong support). If you're against Graves lane I usually just play safe, farm, and only fight if Graves or his support makes a mistake.

I would not suggest playing Graves to learn bot lane though. As he'll get nerfed eventually.
