Runes Question

[quote=bongjebong]I just started playing last last week. I play in the Philippines. I just want to know if I should start buying runes already? I mean I bought some but I think it doesn't help me that much yet. Sometimes, during early game, other players have high attack damage maybe because of their runes. I'm just level 15 so I can't buy the Tier 3 Runes yet. Should I start buying runes already? And what runes should I buy?[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]Wait until you can buy the tier 3 runes before you buy any or you're just wasting IP. I suggest starting by reading [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/rune-tips-what-secondary-and-primary-means-and-more-24255]Searz rune guide[/url]. Some good all around runes to begin with are: Caster: [[Greater Mark of Insight]] [[Greater Seal of Clarity]] [[Greater Glyph of Force]] [[Greater Quintessence of Potency]] Everything else: [[Greater Mark of Strength]] [[Greater Seal of Resilience]] [[Greater Glyph of Shielding]] [[Greater Quintessence of Strength]] Get the armour seals and MR/lvl glyphs first, they are strong on anyone. 4/6 of my runepages use MR/lvl and 5/6 of them use armour.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]no no, get [[greater mark of desolation]] for non casters.[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]All the pros use AD nowadays. ArP is okay too though. They are virtually the same against enemy champions (I think ArP has a [i]slight[/i] damage advantage) but AD also helps with last hitting.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]just because pros do it doesnt mean its not mathematically superior to do pen reds.[/quote]

[quote=bongjebong]So I should just wait for me to reach level 20 before I buy runes? Because sometimes it's hard to fight those with runes already. :|[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]Wait until level 20, you're almost there anyway.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]yeah, rank 1 and 2 runes are worthless once you hit level 20.[/quote]

[quote=Slappiz][quote=Luther3000] All the pros use AD nowadays. [/quote] I doubt it.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=Luther3000] All the pros use AD nowadays. ArP is okay too though. They are virtually the same against enemy champions (I think ArP has a [i]slight[/i] damage advantage) but AD also helps with last hitting.[/quote] The pros probably think that AD marks and quints are equally strong. They don't really have much of a clue of how they actually compare. ArP marks still are overall stronger on most champions. Especially junglers.[/quote]
