check out op.gg

I have 3 rune setups for my go to champs. I use the last one to fill out when I play someone other than my main 3. I just do a quick google to find runes for champs I don’t play often.

I used Blitz at first and had similar problems. It just isn’t always reliable. I don’t know if you’re a new player or what your level is, but if you understand the purpose of each rune, you don’t need them to be set automatically. Setting them yourself will allow you to adapt to the match instead of autopiloting, and you might find a new setup to try.

If you’re not confident in your rune understanding, keep using Blitz and try to learn what runes are used by what kind of champs. Once you’re comfortable, you can preset some pages for your main champs and have a spare to fill. I’ve found it to be a solid tactic. Just be sure you pay attention in champ select; you have plenty of time to set runes and it’s not as difficult to set them each match as it sounds.

I change my runes every game, even when playing the same champ 10 times in a row, it´s just too impactful to not do it.

One glance at whole enemy team and you should know what main rune to take, fill in the rest to manage lane.

I used to use blitz, and recently stopped. I know it’s probably not the advice you were hoping for, but you really only need 1 rune page - if you watch pros stream, they update it in champ select before the match starts once they know their matchups.

I find this helpful for 2 reasons:

1. If blitz crashes (not infrequent in my experience) you’re never stuck on the runes from your previous champ (I play a decent amount of ARAM so this comes up often)

2. If you have to think about your runes, you have to think about your playstyle more actively. The best examples I can think of are dark harvest / electrocute on assassins and legend alacrity / tenacity / bloodline. Neither decision is “correct” 100% of the time, but if you take dark harvest because it was recommended and don’t play to maximise stacks, you often should’ve taken electrocute.

It is possible to unlock more rune pages, but 1 for each champ could really stack up fast. If you don’t play a large champ pool, you’ll mostly need to decide between secondaries anyways (“do I need bone plating or second wind in this lane?”)

Use zar.gg it’s better than blitz

best would be to just learn and remember the pros and cons of all the relevant runes for your champs. usually you should think about the runes (though some champs dont really change runes like ever) not just have it set in stone

Im just peak emerald so take this with grain of salt, but I watch a ton of high elo streams. Roughly in order:

• some matchups specifically require a special rune page. For example against irelia you have to take conqueror with dorans blade
• grasp is good against melee champs that you can proc it safely and frequently against (especially ones who take grasp themselves). Example of unsafe matchup is renekton, I think you need to take conqueror vs him
• phase rush good against champs you need to kite with movement speed and or champs you cant proc grasp / trade with conqueror regularly (eg mid mages, also can take first strike here)
• after that I think phase rush better in low elo bc people suck at using conqueror. In high elo I think conqueror stronger in general

So what I recommend is you just YouTube while in loading screen “yifan jayce vs “enemy” and then see what he takes and I copy that he has a lot of knowledge about jayce so I copy him and it always works well compared to when I try something different

Grasp is all around solid, especially with inspiration (biscuits, approach velocity). I think very solid for ranged match-ups or for early trading, you'll usually win short trades with grasp + Q poking and fighting for lvl 2, and less ghoul reliant. Against Jayce 2nd wind, d shield, and biscuits could have been better.

Conqueror is still strong, and it scales better in mid-late game, but you don't have room for inspiration. I think if you're not confident you can snowball an early lead with grasp, Conqueror and playing around ghoul to stack it would be better.

I personally go Grasp, Demolish,Second Wind (you can go Bone Plating depending on match up but you can't go wrong with Secodn Wind) and then Revitalize (or any of the other 2, I jsut value the sustain Grap, Second Wind and Revitalize gives me in lane)

Then I go Sorcery Second with Manaflow Band for mana sustain and Celerity for the movespeed, I just really like movespeed, it makes me reach with Q easier than if I don't have it.

You can also go Inspiration second wiyh Biscuits and Approach Velocity for example but I just don't like playing without any mana sustain so I go Sorcery Second.

Well, sadly, not all things are actually equal. Circles and Swords are best for PvE while Sprites and sometimes Meteors are better for PvP.

In order to maximize chances for Tracking Eye, I use…

• 2 Main Weapon Runes
• 2 Frostshock Runes
• 4 Circle Runes

Never seen that many golds

I really like a sword build for chapters, tower and some bosses. The meteor potion magnet is really good coupled with the legendary strike potion rune, giving you 3 extra sword with each meteor (6 if you get the double sword skill)

I don't really like circles for pve as I'm more of a long distance player, but they are super strong if you have the etched rune, also top tier in arena and in some bosses in seal battle

Also elemental runes are part of almost all my builds. Frostshock especially is so valuable in pve for crowd control and AOE .

One rune page that's being changed up every game.

I don't see a point in premade runepages - it's best to set them up individually every game for the best possible set up.

Having multiple rune pages only made sense for me when we had actual runes (marks, seals, glyphs and quints), not masteries 2.0 as we have right now. Then I had 20 pages and it was still too little sometimes.

Since i had 20 rune pages on the old system, i made a rune page for every keystone and change them accordingly every game

I only have two runepages, so I just change them in champion select as I need to.

What i hate is when people blindly copy stuff from sites like op.gg u.gg so on..
Why do people always check most popular/highest winrate build and copy them without thinking? Thats stupid way....imo. For example. Highest winrate can have sorcery/inspiration tree secondary, u copy that and get demolished by counterpick where U NEEDED RESOLVE to survive.

F.e. i play riven and copied highest winrate runes (precision+inspiration)...in a game i bought long sword(same reason - winrate)....then i got placed against teemo and that became hard lane for me coz i have no sustain(second wind in resolve tree and doran shield). Guys, staap this....start thinking a bit

I have 25 pages and ever since Runes Reforged I have used a grand total of one page. It takes 5 seconds to setup your runes, what do you need more for?

Prioritize ur circle runes.

Ring of agony should be equipped.

Circle should be equipped.

Spin speed up

Don’t equip meteorite potions that’s a waste. Same with strike potion. It should be circles < sprite < sword <meteorite when it comes to usefulness

How can you have that many legendary runes! I’m lvl 42, and only have 1 Legendary?? I play and do my things every day!

My thought as well. What lvl are you in, and how many legendary do you have?

Id say use the ones I circled and take out the ones I crossed out

Mainly because healing sprite (especially against tower levels with all bosses ) is extremely useful. Same with freezing one. Swords can be useful but other than dragon sword occasionally pushing enemies back they aren’t as useful. (Plus I’m currently running cat character who already pushes mobs back)

Hail of blades is great for your laning phase, you can pretty much burst someone if you do a good combo on them, but conqueror is way better if your game stretches out to late

Laughs in summon aery

Where's omni?

glacial augment :::)

Conquer is just too good of a rune right now given the insane damage and healing you can get in extended fights. However if Riot nerfs Conquer then grasp and building tank is Hella fun

I like glacial augment, free boots, approach velocity. It's hard to stack grasp when you aren't in lane enough.

phase rush is the only non troll option. others are fun tho.

Grasp is only good if you’re also going heartsteel and maybe even spirit visage. Phase rush, aftershock and glacial augment are all good in other builds

Glacial with sorcery second

Honestly steeling the Darius jungle build might not be a bad idea, just change the runes to glacial or phase rush
