Personally, I'm currently only using 19 of 20 rune pages and covering all 5 roles, with multiple rune pages for individual champions in every role. I'm not sure you could possibly need 100 rune pages, that is an overstatement.

I could make more personalized, individual matchup specific stuff if I was doing ranked 5's and knew what role I was playing, but for solo queue I think it's not hard to cover everything reasonably with 20 pages.

Not sure where the hate is coming from.

How did you even get by on four in the first place? That's not even one for every position.

Stop buying skins IMO.

Rune pages are like 2$ apiece. Unless you have literally put zero dollars into the game, you should have more than 4 rune pages.

Supports can use AD/AP/Tank rune pages. Junglers can use AD/AP/Tank. Four rune pages are fine.

If you run split pen jungle or something or top lane its passable tbh. Esp if you play mostly tanky supports, or ap for squishy ones like annie or zyra.

i have 11 but i cant remember how i got them, i got a few with the 2for1 ip sale, and then maybe 1-2 with leftover rp

u just need twice as many pages now to cover every matchup otherwise u will be at disadvantage


Why...?

Its actually an understatement

Old runepage setup: Flat armor is the best nearly 100% of the time. This means you have X amount of rune setups with basically only 3 things to vary Reds, Blues (also usually not that much variance with MR or Scaling MR being most common, and fairly good all around).

New: Still the same situation for reds/blues/quints (and actually they changed that as well) X the number of potentially optimal Yellows. Sometimes that will be Flat armor as before, sometimes scaling armor, sometimes scaling HP, etc.

Basically, if you play more than 2 roles its probably unlikely that even with all runes + all rune pages you have the optimal rune setup for each match-up you will be playing.


Ok, but does it REALLY matter? How many people were actually making multiple pages for flat MR and scaling MR before?

Did it REALLY matter that flat armor was the best option?


I don't really care either way, but I think it's kinda ridiculous to act like now you suddenly need 100 rune pages to optimize every possible match up.

If there are multiple options instead of one how does it not mean you need more rune pages to optimize?

Nobody said that you HAVE to do it.You could play with no runes if you wanted.That doesn't change the fact that all those changes do is change the 205 rune with a 820 one(for some champs).


Because you don't HAVE to have 100% optimized runes for every single match up, especially since the people with few runes are generally going to be lower elo anyways. The majority of people are still just using flat armour seals.

Really dont think you'd need but maybe 5-6 rune pages to deal with a certain lane tbh. Toplane i feel like would be the one to require the most, that or jungle.

When I first started playing ranked, I think my two pages were a support page with GP/10 quints and an AP page, so I used my support page for top Garen, jungle WW and ADC as well. I think I actually spent some money on the game to get more pages after I made it to like silver 4.

I mean, I understand how you technically could get by on 4 rune pages, but it seems like it would heavily restrict your champion pool and/or be inefficient for a lot of champions.

Here I am thinking 7 is too few for me, but I need stuff to actually fill the pages up with first.

You could do perfectly fine with an AD page for ADC/top, an AP page for mid (could even use for some supports), a jungle page and a dedicated support page. Yeah, it'd be tough to play certain champions, but you don't need to play every single one.

i almost never play ap so i keep 1 generic ap page, 3 others are ad for top/jungle/adc with some variations depending on what i decided to "main" that week (i usually play 1-3 champions over and over again until i get bored)

I think that it's interesting to note how differently number of rune pages causes players to play the game in a broader sense, contrasting Ketara to Kongoline. I have nothing interesting to say about it, though.

See, this is the same thing as the people who say, "You can totally be diamond playing Poppy, Garen, and Gangplank only top!

Which is true. But that means nothing, and is not even really a point. I could play Lulu without hybrid pen Reds, but the minute I got them not only was I significantly stronger, it was more fun to play her (which is really quite hard, because Lulu has been my favorite champion since release! Except Olaf for a while...)!

On top of that, the reality is that Riot just nerfed the route for people to take the "cheap way out" with 2-5 rune pages, because, at least with regard to Seals, they nerfed the cheapest ones to be suboptimal quite a bit of the time (particularly because of the other anti-snowball S4 measures). The motto for "being cheap" with runes was: AD/MPen Red + Arm Yello + MR/MRes Blue (your preference, maybe a mix) + Quints (Typically AD and AP, personally I used MS quints only for quite a while back when I was a blind pick hero).

That being said, I just randomed myself a Brolaf, Mafia Jinx, and Officer Cait, so nothing lol-related makes me sad at the moment.

I like how you're all griping about cost efficiency of runes, and then end your post saying you blew a bunch of money on stuff that gives no in game bonuses

Plus, I dont even need pages, I need teh runes, which are IP only.

And are super annoying to set up.

Well if you've ever spent IP on champs you could have bought those champs with your skin RP and used the IP on runes instead.

From a quick look at Probuilds, there are multiple pros who play Lulu with magic pen marks, so I doubt it's a big deal. Every single person in my games so far whose runes I've looked at has been using flat armour seals. I don't really see how they're going to be suboptimal quite a bit of the time. I haven't done any calculations, but I assume you'll generally want them bot lane because there's an ADC, you'll almost always want them in the jungle and you'll want them the majority of the time top lane. So maybe now you'll want an extra AP page that'll be a tiny bit more effective in some situations.

It's like playing hockey and worrying about not having a $300 stick and not being able to change your curve in the middle of a play. Yeah, you don't have the absolutely ideal equipment for all situations, but probably neither does anyone else, and what you have is perfectly fine. You're not in the NHL; concentrate on improving your game instead.
