Flat AP vs AP/level

[quote=TheKut]My current mage rune page consists of flat AP quints and glyphs, mana reg/level seals and MP marks. Should I remove my glyphs for AP/level instead so I can get higher burst starting at level 8 or should I go for flat AP for the great early game burst? Edit: My main AP mids are [[Ahri]] and [[Fizz]], and occasionally [[Cassiopeia]].[/quote]

[quote=YayaFTW]Hmm it depends on the champion scaling through the game imo. [[Cassiopeia]] and [[Ahri]] would work better with AP/lvl since they don't have a real burst damage until lvl 6 or 7. Whereas [[Fizz]]'s early combo W + Q + AA then E to safety with AP Flat runes could do some decent damage and thus zone the enemy mid to deny him as much cs as possible. As for me, I always run AP/lvl runes because I tend to play passive most of the times before lvl 7. Then I either roam or start heavy trading.[/quote]

Now that I think about it I rarely even go for any harder poking before lvl 6 with Ahri, and practically never try to kill anyone, so AP/level is probably better there.[/quote]

[quote=Silfatos]for me i choose flat for advantage in early game if you did good in early game you will also excel in late game flat ap gives me advantage in harrasing my opponents[/quote]

[quote=cooper56][quote=Luther3000] Neither, MR is better than both in most matchups. [/quote] Not always[/quote]

[quote=IceCreamy]Flat MR > AP/lvl > MR/lvl > other. For mid. Mostly.[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard]I like to use AP/lvl glyphs whenever I'm looking for stronger burst as opposed to trades. I tend to run a lot of AP on Lux since she outranges all the things.[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden]ap/lvl is strong on pushers. Mr is strong on the rest.[/quote]
