User blog:Lykrast/Runes: why I hate them

If you read the title, you'll know there is gonna be some little raging here, but let's calmy continue : So in conclusion, my personnal solution (if you call it one, lots of you will probably say it's not one) is to remove them (and refund, of course, because that would be mean to not do it).
 * Riot said they want counterplay (look at new ) and no hidden power (all global passives they reworked), there is no counterplay at having an enemy with a full rune page against, he gets free stats and you can't do anything about that, also, the only way to tell is to check the enemy's stats, something hard to do when actively laning early on, and there is no other way to tell that this guy has a full page of +dmg rune or +ap runes. So, no counterplay, hidden power.
 * There is nothing really different from having a full rune page of armor/mr or ad/as, sure you have better stats, but it doesn't even change the lightest the way you play said champ, it justs makes you stronger without you having to do anything.
 * They are REALLY expensive, I know some of you can quickly get IP, but I personally takes WEEKS to get even 3150 IP (roughly 2), and that means it would takes for me like a month (maybe more, I don't have the numbers here) to fill one rune page, then I'll have to fill the others, since I obviously don't want to get AD runes on, and don't want AP runes on . And so I lack this bonus hidden power that the other guy that played much more and farmed much more than me have because he have a full rune page.

PS : yes I play mostly Coop VS IA, but that doesn't change that once I'll go to high level ranked (not near future, but that'll end up happening), if I don't take the time to waste IP on things that doesn't change the way I play, I will have a huge disavantage against that other guy that farmed a full rune page.

PPS : about masteries, they are free and I really find them weak, so it's not really that much a problem.
