Would everyone just run mad cheese pages like 30x AP/AD or 30x Armor? I think you might actually see an interesting mix of stats. The present system where certain runes are far and beyond the best-in-slot greatly reduces any real specialization, as it is now the only real choices are what Quintessences to run and whether to take AD or ArPen (p.s. which is better lol). Armor Yellows and MR Blues are pretty much non-negotiable, which is boring. I think your last point is not true, since Turrets lost armor but gained a resistance to champion autos. So potshots on the tower when the enemy is there will take much longer to kill it, but if your enemy leaves and you push to tower with a full wave I think it might actually die faster. If you want to min/max on anything without diminishing returns then yes I don't see any reason not to run 30 AD/AP or 30 armor/MR depending on lane matchups. A system like that would probably be better with diminishing returns. Your first AD mark = +1 damage down to your 30th AD mark = +.4 damage. Since the first rune of each type is the most efficient taking just one of each type would maximize the value of your rune page but then the downside is you have all generalist stats and no specialization. So in order to min/max you would want an example of 50/50 armor/HP or 33/33/33 armor/MR/HP setups for tanks. | ||

It's just putting all the emphasis on 1/3rd of the map that's really bad. You just need a blue dependant mid on purple side (ok nobody play those anymore) and you get the full package. | ||

1) Removal of the 30% XP bonus from lane creeps when XP is split between 2 or more champs. It's an archaic mechanic that ONLY EXISTED to punish 1v2 in a time when Riot felt 2-1-2 should be viable against 1-1-2+jungle (an idea which they've long since abandoned). 2) Drastic reduction of level 1 vision to allow a greater threat to be made toward mid level 1. 3) Rescaling of jungle spawns to allow a top laner to safely hit level 2 before going to lane (many 1v2 laners actually become reasonable stable if they can get level 2). | ||

Tri-lanes at bottom is the new S4 meta! But really junglers camping/ganking/pushing bot lane is going to be even more common now thanks to an easier first turret and easier early dragon on top of that which will add to the roaming mids becoming FotM. Top lane becoming a farm fest. Caitlin first picked for pushing that fast tower. On the other hand this does make it easier for a 3 man stack (with wave clear) to defend the mid tower against a full 5 man push. | ||

I do like #1, it has the side effect of having support/AD be underleveled relative to mid/top but IMO that's desirable anyway. Not sure what you mean by #2, no trinkets until later? Even without any wards it's going to be real tough to gank mid early if they're on their own side. Wasn't #3 doable at some point before jungle changes? Was 1v2 any different then? | ||

It really sucks being top laner and the enemy AD is the same level as you WTF. Also I hate Annie and I wouldn't mind seeing Jinx players punished a bit for maxing W first. | ||

However, interestingly if you try to take lane farm with skills your mana goes down fast. However, whereas SOTAG regen mid/late-game was sufficient to keep up with teamfighting mana, now it's no help at all. I noticed I wasn't able to get a full second rotation when ganking at level 6, and it made clearing waves with sunfire+W+E unsustainable. | ||

Regen up in jungle, and big enough mana pool to be usable in teamfights. | ||

The issue with 3) is that it allows the bot lane to do the exact same thing and do a jungle camp, and re-raises the blue vs purple side imbalance with golems being easier to grab than wight (just plain easier to kite for a duo lane). Encourages 1v2ing, given the golem imbalance bot lane was an important reason to promote 1v2ing. Also messes with jungle exp gain. Inelegant and introduces more problems than solves (1v2ing fucking sucks for the solo laner). Of the two, 1) is ultimately a better solution, but I'm not sure what other unintended effects it may have outside of underleveling the duo lane. I'm abit leery of 2), given the trinket ward is already a short enough duration early level with a long CD. Could cut down the CD or duration abit more, but there's already ways to outplay the trinket ward (having the laner actually time/watch the ward placement and thus timing expiration/period of vulnerability early). Supports rarely start all-wards anymore (usually dshield or a coin, +1 ward). | ||

I'd like it if the enemy teams summoner spells didn't come up in the loading screen. That'd be awesome. | ||

I'm personally ok with not having any level 1 vision unless you sacrifice having items to do so. I think having "free" wards in any form is just stupid. | ||
