I think I’m not alone in believing that the rune system needs some kind of rework. They were supposed to be a way for players to enhance or express their playstyle and ended up just being something you need to do “right” or in a certain way otherwhise you’re practically trolling (For example not taking Second Wind into some matchups or not taking Mana Flowband with champions like Ryze).
I’d wish they make some kind of change to the system like nerfing their power and maybe change some of them so they become a way for the players to express their playstyle. Maybe they could add some new ones. Or maybe following the removal of mythic items (and recognizing how limiting that system was) they could allow us to choose any combination of runes on each tree instead of one per row, or maybe allow to use more that two trees.
What are your thoughts and opinions?
Riot has failed with personalizing runes to playstyle because eventually there’s a great option, even if it’s by a small margin. Honestly I have no clue how you could fix that. To riots credit, they’ve tried. A lot.
