One problem I see is the fact that rune pages offer a severely limited variety. To buy a rune page requires as much IP as a top tier champion. I currently only have the standard two, and find that I have to make sacrifices to be able to play at least 3 different positions. If runes were treated with as much versatility as masteries, I'm sure more people would be willing to play more roles. As it stands, people want to itemize for the damage dealing roles, in the hopes they'll get one, but when you don't, you're not properly set to play a good "other" role.

The next problem here is that when you can't be a good "other" role, you get raged at and told to go get cancer and die. The community is perpetuating a cycle of "fuck you if you don't let me be the good role, and fuck you if you don't do a good job playing the role I didn't want."
