When i buy runaan's hurricane it does apply effects hit effects for every hit like if you only had your main attack, but does this also include hit effects that come from items like Frozen Mallet? And does it include the 5%current Health damage from Blade of the Ruined King? Because if it actually does do that, i can think of really weird builds on weird adc champions and it does in theory occur rather strong to me. http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Runaan's_Hurricane | ||

I think the solution to this problem is to make mastery pages cost 6300 IP each. I think it will solve a lot of people's problems. 1. For people like him, it means that mastery pages are also IP-sinks, so runepages are no longer the sore thumb sticking out. 2. For people like the rest of it, it means that there is yet another way to spend IP on. Win-win situation imo. + Show Spoiler + hue | ||

The way they end games now is the correct way to end by applying pressuring on all lanes and forcing the weaker team to engage. They finish the best out of all NA teams now, whether by coincidence or by plan. But overall, the level Dig plays at is simply very standard compared to Asian teams. Half the teams in LCS probably would lose to random 5s teams on the Asian servers. Their strategies are just not that advanced. The stuff NA teams just started doing have been created by teams in other regions long ago. Eh, I don't think its right to just write off NA..... its just a massive generalization to do so. Id prefer to give them the benefit of the doubt and let them prove themselves. This whole NA is bad thing is just a bad way of thinking. | ||

It's not a generalization when you can see how each region plays... If anything being realistic is good because NA teams seem to overrate themselves as the competition within NA is terrible. | ||

Why you all gotta be so sexist! Also was there seriously a page of discussion on hashishin or w/e that grackis-like player's name is? (i agree it's silly we get only 2 runepages for free and they cost 6300 IP considering every new champ is 7800, 6300 only after a couple of weeks + over 100 champs existing now). | ||

Like if you started with three or four that would be fine (I have mine from the giveaway!), but new players only have two, it's a joke. Yeah I'm not sure why people think that post is a joke, because his argument is at least somewhat legitimate. It's pretty clear that rune pages are designed the way they are to squeeze money out of people. The rune system also needs a revamp in general because some of the archaic ideas they started with (e.g. "primary"/"secondary" runes) aren't really relevant anymore and there's a large pool of runes that are straight up not useful (I don't mean they're situational--I mean they're 100% never used by anyone who is seriously playing the game). | ||

You're right! it's even better because people can waste skillshots and AoE's into it while you're in a bush five mile away lolling for your shadow dance charges to come back. | ||

Isn't that a good thing? makes it so they don't' have to buy as many runes? The fact is, anyone who doesn't want to pay money for LoL, has reasonable access to EVERYTHING in regards to gameplay. If he's not playing enough to gain enough IP for everything, that's not Riot's fault. Would it be amazing if everything was free; but Riot's gotta make money. | ||

Basically you should be able to get 90% of the way there with reasonable time investment. The last 10% should come from grinding or from RP, but the fundamentals should be there without an obscene time investment. I agree with USnip's idea of 3-4 runepages rather than 2. Let's not even consider champ-specific pages--you can't even have a rune page for each ROLE without spending ~20k IP to have 3 additional pages. | ||

I think with Riot's occasionally 6300IP for 2 pages sale, this isn't really that big of a problem. Yes, I agree that individually runepages are a bit too expensive, but in order for any online games to succeed in this age, you have to provide the players some sense of growth - and this comes from (painstakingly?) accumulate IP and build up your champion/rune/runepage pool. Riot just happened to have made this progress really slow, and it worked out for them because their mechanism for growth attracted and kept a huge playerbase. What that guy is talking about is like whining about grinding in RPG games and artificially created micromangement requirement in RTS games - but these do and will probably always exist because these are cost-effective ways for a game company to make the game fun. | ||

Paying for pages is one thing, I dont mind. Paying for runes themselves kind of sucks. Like, my cousin just got into LOL, he is like ~lvl 25. Can't even try out jungling because he has no runes, and is unlikely to have a legit chance at having decent runepages by the time he is lvl 30 because so far he Has bought Zyra (6300), Hecarim (6300) and Wukong (6300) along with picking up other random champs. I don't MIND the system ANYMORE because I have tons of runepages NOW. But Paying IP for runes is kinda silly, especially because it prevents regular people from experimenting with weird things like XP quints. Basically, even assuming RP for runepages, does anyone know the cost of Even buying all the "primary" runes, let alone "secondary"? | ||
