There is this whole myth going around that "someone good" without runes can beat "someone not good" with runes. That is total and complete bullshit.

The game's mathematics do NOT allow this to happen, considering summoners lvl30 with tier 3 runes. A complete rune page that corresponds to a champion (for example, no mana regen runes for Morde/Shen/Mundo) provides a huge advantage in early game versus an empty page, and we some thought, throughout the game too.

"Runes are weak", but in the end, when my Talon starts with almost 50 armor and a huge early armor penetration, or a Teemo/Sivir start the game with 400 speed, you simply cannot match that with an empty page and "someone good".

P.s.: 99% of players in this game are NOT good. They are below bad. They are the bottom of the bottom and do not know what they are doing. You cannot simply fight with an empty rune page and win, since to be considered moderately good, you will have played so much, that you'll have the IP for at least 10 rune pages.

Simply.
