Gold and crit damage remove? you gonna kill a lot of support builds, and champions how deal damage wit full crit, namely Trydanmere, GP, Yasuo, Ashe, Fiora, and a lot of other marksman and fighters.

If you don't use some runes, it don't mean that other don't use it too. Dead time runes and energy runes are almost unused, but don't useless,. champions with Suicide(no feeders) tactics, as well champions with empowers-death passives (Kog'maw, Sion, Karthus, etc.) will like those. for Energy. omg, u didn't never play with a ninja, althoght you can wait for energy to regen, sometimes, is not enoght (I died a lot of times with Shen because my taunt need 90 and I had 85).

Yeah. some runes have bad stats, maybe a buff, maybe a nerf, most of my friends want I change my runes per lvl for flats bonus because have "bad stats". But everyone think different, in my case, I like the late game 30 free armor instead poke or trade in early game, also, most runes per lvl have better stats after lvl 8-9.

Now, with the trap of runes tier 1 and 2, I think a better solution is that they could lvl up like the summoner. example: a rune tier 1 need 25-40 games for it evolves, runes tier 2 need 30-50 wins and can only lvl up if you are using it. With it, or you can save some IP for runes pages, champions or anything you wish, or you can use it tier 3 with best stats and without any wait.

The Free rune system. I think it should give a rune how scale with the champion you are playing of (mages get AP, MP, marksman get AD, Crit, Tanks get Armor, MR, Fighters get AS,HP, etc.), and only the times you lvl up them you get tier 1 or 2, and from rank 5, once per champion you get a tier 3 if you get an S+ or higher. (if you are really good playing with Cait, you could get easily a free rune). Anyway, free runes should be to broken for me.
