What is a Good Startup Rune Set?

Asked on December 13, 2012

Hi, I am very new to the game and I'm completely lost with all these runes to buy... I'm about to hit level 20 so I want to wait and buy the tier 3 runes.

The question is, which runes should I buy? I would like to be able to play a variety of champions and roles.

Thank you in advance for your answers. :)

I made a few huge mistakes when buying my first lot of runes, so I'd be glad to help you out. The best rune set to suit a variety of roles would be:

3x
9x
9x
9x

This rune page suits Ability Power carries, Attack Damage carries, junglers and solo-top laners. Attack damage is universally good for dealing auto-attack damage which will suffice most roles, even APCs. When you get a feel for your champions, you will be able to decide which runes to buy to suppliment specific play-styles.

For instance, if you want to gear that page more for mid lane AP carry, you would:

3x
9x
9x
9x

Hope this helps :)

No Tank rune's or Support Rune's ah well......Generally Hp or MR AR depending I believe,,

I honestly disagree with you Embracing. For mid lane? For sure Flat mr((Unless you know they're picking a non-ap mid)), otherwise i like scaling Mr. By the time you encounter magic, they're either almost as effective or perhaps even better.

As most new players actually don't buy resistances end-game/at all, I figured it'd be best to mention scaling MR :3

It's better with just flat MR runes. Optimal for both ADCs APCs and even possibly top laners and junglers.
Convinient as well (only need to buy 9 flat mr rather than 9 flat mr and 9 scaling)

Rest are 100% correct :3
