Runes

[ChickenWing]

I think there should be restrictions on the amount of runes one can put on a hero. Everyone uses the same runes at some point in time. It would be more strategic if you could have MAX 4 runes in my opinion. People would have more weaknesses and some runes would end up being more effective as you wouldn't be able to counter them all. Right now it's merely a race to get as many high runes as fast as possible, and to level them as fast as possible. A well chosen block would be much more effective if every hero did not have break, for instance.

Now, runes as they are are merely an incentive to grow as fast as possible, because reaching another 10 levels means putting one more rune on each hero, which is a tremendous advantage.

The question is, do you want to make the game more strategic or more like a race to the finish?

I've always been a fan of adding rather than taking away. Give us more rune types -- a player had a very nice thread a few weeks ago with MANY great rune ideas. This would give more options and more strategy to the rune system in my opinion. Take a look:

see i kinda of think that adding more runes would help. And i dont mean 100 frag runes. That would not work. ALthough it could be fun.

Im thinking like a rune to improve stun
a rune to improve stun resistance
a rune for morale retention
a rune to improve misses on mages
maybe make it so there are 3 types of dodge runes. 1 for physical 1 for skill 1 for magical.
then maybe the same for break runes having 3 types
etc
new types of runes that have nothing equal to them in the current runes.

This way you have to make even more choices on which rune to put on the heroes. because you cant put every rune on all your heroes. But you can put most of them on at level 90. SO add more runes to use and you accomplish what the OP is thinking without taking anything away form players.

New runes would be great.
