User blog comment:Lykrast/Runes: why I hate them/@comment-4022742-20140326124226

Pucker up mate. Come April there will be a rune discount and some changes to their stats which is a good thing!

As for your gripes, with Runes. They actually do change the way you play, If I'm mid and I play a champion that has decent scaling I'll get AP runes in tere. Same if I play a Jungler that I know will be farming more then ganking, I'll get flat AP since Monsters don't have MR and MPen will just mess it up.

I do agree that something needs to change, but that's mostly with tier 1 to 3 level ups and IP scaling costs. They ARE too expensive.
