User blog comment:YourPrivateNightmare/A discussion about Runes/@comment-5955640-20150915235047

I'm the only one here that likes runes? I see people struggle with them but personally I have a lot of fun personalizing and customizing them to fit my personal design ideas on how I want a certain champion to be fueled and powered intentionally or throughout a game.

Most people don't seem to have fun using them though. They have a standardized set up for one champion or for all champions of a certain type as perscribed by the Meta.

In that regard runes and masteries are essentially useless because everyone has the same exact one rather than unique set ups for individual players of different play styles and tastes playing different champions who fill the same role but have different strengths.
