Seeing as preseason is now starting, which includes the new Runes Reforged, base stat increases to all champions (and a buff to Yorick's Q as a little bonus), IP and Blue Essence being merged, and overall being the biggest preseason to where League is nearly a new game, now seems like a good time to bump this thread. It will also give everyone a chance to show off their rune pages for Season 8, and I'll happily start the rune talk with a page I've put together for Ornn, who I've been playing quite a bit of lately considering I just bought him yesterday. You can consult the below spoiler for an image, or just click the link here to see it more up-close and also make your own pages while you're there.

The general idea with this page was to spend the first ten minutes of the game farming up. Ornn's mana costs can be a bit troublesome before getting a Sapphire Crystal, so I opted to dip into Inspiration to grab the biscuits, which will both give him mana sustain and increase his max mana, letting him stay in lane even longer than he normally can. I wasn't sure what to do for the second Inspiration rune, but ultimately settled on Celestial Body for the health increase, further complimenting the Resolve runes bar Conditioning, as well as making the shield on his W all the more potent. Once the ten-minute mark hits, this page gives a nice powerspike in both his damage and resistances, and Ornn can start trading more effectively, roaming if he's not busy, and setting up his engages for teamfights.

 

What about the rest of you? Any particular rune pages you've put together for your favorite champs that you plan to use this preseason?

Pre-season is hella crazy. Even though it's just runes that got changed there's definitely a strong feeling of change in the game, like when keystones got added a couple years ago. Old reflexes like going for Thunderlord's procs in lane trades will suck to break out of. Farming also feels slightly different but the muscle memory is more or less still there. Will definitely take ages to get used to the new setup and to work out what's most optimal for which champ.

 

Favourite thing I've tried out so far is Klepto GP. Was worried about GP when it was announced that masteries were getting removed completely since Bandit was pretty funking good on GP but this more than makes up for it. Lets you sustain for days in lane and the gold drops with Future's Market get you to your core much faster. Currently trying to figure out a good Predator based page for my girl Quinn but it's not looking too promising.

Well, today all I got to see is the new system bringing our a new brand of funking retards. I was Eve post-6, and there was a red ward in a prime ganking spot bot. Both the MF AND the Malphite bot knew it was there... and they did, funking, NOTHING about it. The Malphite was alone in funking lane, and he did, funking, nothing about it. I had to end up destroying it after the useless shits got wasted. They didn't even help me with Golem. Oh wait, MF did 2 shots when it was close to death, as the funking Taliyah mid had to help me because MF was clearly blinded by her bicycle helmet. funking hell I get sick of being teamed up with funking retards with 0 base understanding of this game.

 

Doesn't help the Nasus top fed the Garen because he overextended all the time and got caught out by the Vi. And then did funk and all beyond stack when Garen was in bot doing sheet. All those stacks really helped him when he was getting liquefied routinely. He also decided the best time to ult in a 2v1 with the Garen was AFTER I funking died, but to avoid dying from a tower after getting Garen. Because using it sooner to maybe help avert my death was too funking smart.

 

 

As for runes in general, I dunno. It feels like the options are a lot more restricted now really, as you can't really build as well as you want too anymore. I mean, most mages can't really make good use of Domination, but that's where Thunderlord's is now. So they're cut off and are instead left with either Aery, or the unreliable Comet.

I actually used to play League pretty religiously until about a two months ago, and dealing with mentally challenged teammates is a huge chunk of the reason why I stopped playing. I must say, new season changes does have me curious but this post did nothing but reassure me that jumping back into League would be the same pile of crap, just a new smell.

 

I honestly feel like I could be in one of those "my life has gotten x times better since I stopped playing league" commercials. Crazy how simply finding new habits could show you just had bad your old ones were.

the funk is this rune bullshit

They're called runes but really they're more like masteries. If that helps.

Oh yeah you'll definitely still get funking idiots as teammates while they have to lane against like IMT smurfs or something. That's just a rule of League though.

So I updated my client out of boredom just to see how all the new stuff is looking, and I noticed the tab that shows my recorded game clips from a few months ago. Kinda made me miss playing but I'm not sure if it's enough to bring me back. But yeah, thought I'd share those clips, since they were both pretty hilarious. Just me as Fizz trolling a Mundo and Warwick, typical day in the life of me.

 

just call me the trickster

 

poor mundo

Well I just came back from a local game shop tournament and one of my friends said I should come back as well, since he's building a team. Never had the chance of being on a premade team so I think I'm gonna take his offer, but I got a LOT to catch up on... the new runes, kit changes, the new meta, should be fun lol

Do you live in or anywhere near Alamogordo, NM? I think the team is meant mostly for going to game shop tournaments, but you are still free to add me, my username is Lazy Convict. We can play some games whenever and if the team isn't full I'll make sure to send you some invites if you're available.

I wish I knew why people failed to under-funking-stand that ganking isn't just a role of jungle, but any funking lane. I had a useless funking Kindred on my team who basically did funk all during the laning phase beyond pretty much steal 3 kills, but otherwise just funking farmed while I was ganked no less than 5 funking times by the enemy jungle. They then claimed they weren't good at jungling, while basically ignoring the ever-present fact that any funking role can gank, not just jungle. I ganked for mid, which the Kindred likewise ignored, more than the funking moron.

I'm a support brah, and even the greatest support in the world can only compensate for 2 counts of retardation on your team, not 3 or 4.

 

Like, get this. I just did a Legend of the Poro King. Our "genius" Darius built Warmogs first... and then Deadman's Plate. The enemy team was Cho'Gath, Irelia, Jinx, TF, and Lux. He built armor against 3 APs, a hybrid, and 1 AD. Sufficed to say we lost that game, we lost it hard. Even better when I watched him just walk into Lux's attack when he had no HP left.
