User blog comment:CCoville/So many Runes... so little IP/@comment-3325853-20110427184615/@comment-3325853-20110504033041

22,755 isn't that bad on the grand scheme of things CCoville. =p  I have 4 sets of reds, 6 sets of yellows, 8 sets of blues, and 5 sets of quints...it's a lot more for all that. =p

Exilton, I always feel the argument is the same as before...the per-level ones are equal starting at level 6. Do you really need that much mana regen levels 1-5? You should be selectively using your skills then. A lot of people are (imho) too reliant on their abilities just to last hit and use mana too frivolously early. At level 6 with your ult and then beyond is when you're ready to really start pushing, ganking, having dragon fights, etc. So I'd rather my runes just keep improving. Of course, it all depends on the champ, your playstyle, your item/mastery choices, etc, etc.
