I know why people get early game runes, and I acknowledge that it's certainly viable. But I think that people are also far too eager to dismiss scaling runes.

Mid/late game you will fight for dragon, baron and the towers. It is very much possible to also fight for and take dragon once (maaaybe twice) in the early game. Early game also impacts the rest of the game. All of this is certainly true! Still, the early-game stat bonus becomes irrelevant really, really quickly. A lot of games leave the early laning phase with only a slight advantage on either side (at least when I'm playing). Flat runes versus scaling runes create a race against the clock. By level four/five, the difference is already minimal (link to graph demonstrating the value per rune at each level), and it doesn't take long to reach that level at all. If you didn't get massively ahead on your scaling-runes opponent by level four or five, you've wasted potential.

Mid to late game you'll only be fighting in teamfights / skirmishes / picks and even so minute differences in tankiness won't mean as much because fights won't be simple faceplants with whoever dealing the most damage coming on top.


That's absolutely true! But this applies just as much to the laning phase. Stats are important, but they don't decide absolutely everything. So this argument applies to both the early game as well as the mid and late game.

Depending on your composition, style and build you may very well be playing the frontliner. In which case every bit of tankiness will count.

There's a lot of zone factors to take into consideration and as a support you won't be soaking most of the damage (which is why people buy utilty items on supports rather than straight up tanky items).


Whether or not you'll be soaking a lot of the damage totally depends on the support you picked! I definitely think buying utility items on the support is a great idea, but a lot of supports (like Thresh and Leona) benefit greatly from being tanky, as it increases their options.

Embracing wrote:

This is correct, but I think that it is important to keep in mind that as the support you're playing a gold-starved position, and you'll want all the help you can get. Runes are indeed the only way you can get more stats early on, but for supports, who usually spend their sparse bits of gold on utility, the extra stats are relevant throughout the midgame and even into the lategame. Stats are worth gold, and you're doomed to be low on gold compared to everyone else. In a sense, your runes are also the only way you can reliably get stats in the mid-game.

The simple reason to always go one over the other is that early game leads snowball into mid/late game victories (or the other way around, of course). You don't go full scaling runes either.

Dying early game because of a small factor is really common.


True, but it is also very common in the mid and late game, which both last longer.

Joxuu wrote:
Enemies surviving with less than 100 after a fight is good example. Getting a gold lead because of early kill can lose and most likely will lose the lane (depending a little bit on the elo).


I agree with you here as well. An early lead can snowball into a winning or losing lane. But that does not yet win or lose the game! I've seen enough games where a team lost entire fights with several enemies surviving on ~20-100 HP.

Joxuu wrote:
Someone winning a fight and surviving with 30hp because of early game runes and masteries will get ~400 gold lead. That 400 gold lead could turn into a early Pickaxe or B.F Sword whereas the enemy laner couldn't respond to that and is forced to get back in lane without getting anything.


That's correct! Someone can seriously fall behind if the enemy secures first blood, and if you're really good at securing those early kills, then I would definitely recommend running an aggressive early game. But to get an advantage out of that, they'll have to do it really, really soon. By level three/four, the difference between the flat runes (at least for armor, my favorite scaling rune) is barely significant anymore. I simply find that taking flat runes into scaling runes makes you rely on a relatively short frame of time. If you don't manage to make the plays you wanted to make in those first few minutes, your advantage is wasted.

Joxuu wrote:
This is why I get early game masteries and runes. Losing a few late game resistance stats where they don't matter that much to a possibly to win the entire lane early game is worth it in my eyes.


The level 18 difference between armor and armor/level runes is 18 armor. That can make quite the difference, as it increases your effective health pool (versus physical damage dealers) by 18% of your max health (barring penetration). You will also have a larger effective health pool late game that can profit from the extra armor. (18% more effective health over 2000 HP means more than 9% more effective health over 700 HP).

Late game deaths also matter a lot more than early deaths in terms of risk. The enemy may snowball after a kill, but if you're good at damage control, they won't. Instead, they'll simply be somewhat ahead, for which your runes and clever play can make up.

Joxuu wrote:
It depends on your own prefirication. If you like late game stuff over early game, that's fine.


That's true. In the end, it really does involve a lot of preferences and strategy, not to mention the relevance of team compositions! In the end, I usually mix it up per champion, depending on their strengths and weaknesses.

Thanks a lot for your insights and for sharing your ideas on the matter! :)

Sincerely,

Kinaré
