I am okay with throwing money at skins because i am playing a free game that i more than get my value out of. Ideally that's how the business model should work. Having a good product, a large playerbase, then profit comes from the goodwill of the players.
But since runes are required for the game to be fair, spending money on them is more in keeping with a philosophy of presenting a game as free when actually you have to spend an awful lot of time and money to reach a point when the game is fair. It's dishonest and at this point in time, it's unnecessary.
Sidenote: Why does skin production seem to have slowed so much? I want a nami skin that looks nice!

Behold, the dumbest build I have ever devised
+ Show Spoiler +works in gold 5, gg Snipes squishies in 1 second from long range. Don't try it if you want to win the game though. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/vTtw1UZ.png)

What, bullet Nocturne? Dude that build is such a blast, I've been using it for awhile. Shit-awful, but fun as hell.
Meanwhile, Karma on U.R.F is one hell of an experience. You're literally unkillable. I can say with some confidence that it's the most entertaining champion (and one of the most intense) to use on U.R.F. High as fuck skillcap though. My finger hurts from almost permanently holding down the ALT key lol

Very appropriate for a smurf build.

re: runes
You can make that exact same argument about champions, given that's there's 100+ of them and the flavor of the month changes, well, every month. If you never bought champions you might still be stuck playing Brand or Graves (though at least graves was buffed again). In fact people in this very thread made this argument. Owning a variety of good champions is the same thing as owning a variety good rune pages, they're advantages. People are more willing to bend over backwards to play a champ they like but that doesn't change whether or not that champion is weak.
So if you're going to condemn the rune changes on the grounds that balancing stuff screws up the runes you own you also have to condemn the cycles of champion balance on the grounds that it screws up the champions you own. In which case you might as well go play DotA 2 because that's the only moba/arts/whateveryoucallit that only sells cosmetics and nothing else (that I'm aware of anyway).
In reality though we accept champion balance because (a) it keeps the entire game fresh and (b) we're used to it. Runes on the other hand only really appeal to tinkerers and are invisible passive things so for someone like you shaking that up is just an annoyance whereas for me it's an opportunity to try things out before people figure out what's "best" again.

I heard a while ago there was an OGN Allstars game that was pretty cool. Where can I find VODs of it?
I failed at searching /r/loleventvods

i'm guessing you mean these three games
they were part of ogn masters and not ogn champions, which is the tournament you probably looked for them under

So hard to play with Feral Flare when your team is behind though. I don't see this being a potent item in competitive scene.

also i imagine an ad kayle build would be good with feral flare, anyone try it yet?

Think Jungle Shyvana is going to be a solid pick now with the new Feral Flare?

Probably going to end up like support Elise. Good, but wasted potential.

I am fairly certain at this point that Feral Flare is bad on Nocturne. I can see the potential a la CLG style, but Lizard/Golem is way better.

Nightblue has been having a lot of success with it centered around a Flare/BotRK/Ghostblade/Randuin's core.

I thought the only reason support Elise fell out of favor was because they nerfed the hell out of her Q's mana cost and range?
Also, holy fuck this San Diego banner ad is annoying as shit. Clicking close just resets it and I can't see the post text.

My issue is that once my team gets behind for whatever reason, I am absolutely fucked. Furthermore, Nocturne's utility is a bit low, so if things go wrong it's hard to turn the tides (especially if I also need to work with a very small mana pool).
Feral Flare is OK, but Lizard/Golem is a lot safer.

The "oh shit, my team fucked up hardcore early" affects the spirit stone items too. Noc doesn't really needs to do much more than Q with Wriggles/Flare, and taking the large monster recoups a lot of that.
