I only have MR and Scaling Mr blues anyways...

Having lots of marks and glyphs is way more fun anyways. Also buying champs. Which is why I mostly oppose the rune rework in general.

I just don't see how this new champion can deal with melee champions, the usual suspects would seem to be able to dumpster him, but I'm also eyeing Akali as a possible hard counter he can't really punish her 1-5 and he has no escape after 6

I guess we will see.

he can't at all. thats why he is another terrible champ design, reminds me a lot of malzahar really. will either do enough damage to make the dangerous pick worth it and then people will qq about his damage (see yasuo) but this guy does not have the tankiness or CC that yasuo does so he would have to do even MORE damage to be viable and riot is not going to do that. So I predict him being a bit on the underpowered side unless that lazer does obscene damage. but even then league of mobility will destroy any squishy trying to channel so meh. I don't get how he will work lol.

I dont, mid is not a role I play much.

But also its kind of like back when I played WOW. I played a paladin, who could technically play 3 roles, but to switch from holy to prot or ret (lol as if) would have taken months of re-gearing, just like me switching to Midlane (if any proposed rune remake that diminishes armor and Mr as decent standard pages) would be a 10-20k IP sink.

I would be perfectly happy with no runepages, running the same page optimally for every role, or a rework that refunded all rune IP then significantly cheapened all "primary" runes.

The proposed changes are likely to just be a nerf to popular runes, which will force people to contemplate buying other runes to min max.

Manly runpages aside, (like ap/lvl yellows and blues, ap quints. Operation oneshot anyone at lvl 11) do you really not have an mpen reds, armour yellows, ap/lvl blues, ap quints page?

That's like, my default page against all ad teams which are kinda common given how wukong/kha/zed mid aren't all that rare.

My marks/quints variations already take up all nine of my rune pages. Right now I have:

AD / LS: ADC's, Nasus, Jax, etc.
AS / LS: Tryndamere, junglers that benefit from LS
AS / MS: Most junglers
AD / HP: AA harass supports
Armor / HP: Supports that don't AA harass
Magic Pen / HP: Magic harass supports
Magic Pen / MS: Singed, Mundo, AP junglers
Magic Pen / AP: AP mid
AS / AP: Kayle, Teemo

I guess I could remove AS/LS and Magic Pen/HP and replace them with AD/AD and Magic Pen / AP / no MR.

Wat do against Trundle guys?

I get rekt no matter what I pick :/ Pillar combined with his insane AOE movement/attack speed buff makes me a sad panda.

Does he have any decent counterpicks?
