Lets talk runes...

[Oldie]

Alot of people have been wondering what runes to use, which ones are worth buying.

Physical dps (mana)
Marks - Armor pen
Seals - mana regen per 5 /18
Glyphs - magic resist / 18 blues OR cool down reduction (helps with magic aoes)
Quints - Flat health or armor pen/mana regen quints, your choice, more dps, health, or mana

Physical dps (energy or no mana)
Marks - Armor pen (magic pen for katarina)
Seals - dodge
Glyphs - magic resist / 18 blues OR cool down reduction (helps with magic aoes)
Quints - Flat health or armor pen, your choice, more dps, or health,

Tanks
Marks - Armor pen (magic pen for tanks such as mord)
Seals - health/18
Glyphs - magic resist / 18 blues OR cool down reduction (
Quints - Flat health

Caster DPS
Marks - Magic Penn
Seals - mana regen per 5/ 18
Glyphs - ap / 18
Quints - 2 flat health + 1 flat ap

Caster Support
Marks - Magic Penn
Seals - mana regen per 5/ 18
Glyphs - cooldown or magic resist/ 18
Quints - 3 flat health

These are runes that i use, and that alot of other players use, because they work. Dont waste your money on crit damage runes, or crit strike runes, because mathematically they don't stack up to armor pen. There is the exception to the rule if you religiously play tryn or ganplank. Of course for some champions like nidalee, katarina, or kennen you need to mix/match your armor pen/magic pen/mana regen and change it around, but armor pen, mana regen, and magic resist runes are the ones i suggest anyone new to runes invest in first

Hmm, I like the tank runes. But i personaly use a tank ap build .

 

[Carmine]

Yes, flat health quints on everyone. Best quintessences in the game, can't count how many times I have gotten away with 10 health instead of dying. Although personally I use just flat armor seals, magic resist glyphs, and a combo of both for marks.

Ya I'm slowly getting my rune pages to look something like these. Although I love playing a wide variety of champions so I will be at it for awhile =\


I really wish they allowed for more than 2 rune pages so you don't have to keep switching them out before you play or at least the option to edit the rune page on the fly like with masteries.
