    Why do Destruction, Advantage, Reisitance and Endurance rune have the same colour ?

    its very confusing as 3 are yellow runes I even merged one resistance once by mistake. Can't the developers come with any different colour. IMO all yellow runes should have diffrenet colour even though they might be same as green, blue or purpleo nes.

    Because you'd run out of colours if you assigned each rune a unique one.

    Only if someone was totally color blind

    17 different yellow runes
    lets see what I can do
    1 white
    2 gray
    3 yellow
    4 orange
    5 red
    6 blue
    7 pink
    8 green
    9 brown
    10 black
    11. purple
    12 tan
    ok so i need 5 more now
    well this is where you do have to have variations but you can have unique variations
    13 light or dark blue
    14 light or dark red
    15 gold (different then yellow but still yellow like)
    16 light or dark green
    17 peach or cream ( both similar to tan)

    Now you can also differentiate with the shapes which is not done either very well.

    To me if theres going to repetition then there should be a reason
    such as all offensive runes are similar
    all defensive runes are similar
    runes that can be replaced with a super rune are similar - so adept and bane look alike as well as vengeance

    But there does not seem to be a rhyme or reason to some runes looking identical. SO to me its just lazy coding

    I just noticed that the Runes have different colors, and they spin, tho there does not seem to be any Reason why one is a certain color.
    so the Rune has a color and the Name of the Rune has a Color based on power level.
    the only change to the color of the Name of the Rune I would make would be to add a color for the Combo Runes so that it is different from the Yellow Runes

    as for the color/shape of the Rune it self, I would rather see different Colors and Shapes by type than each Rune,
    but your Idea of having something that links runes that can be upgraded [like Adapt & Bane upgrading to Vengeance] is a Very good idea.
    at the very least the Name of the Combo Runes should be a different color than the yellow Runes.

    To many Colors could be confusing.

    Maybe it's because I'm unique or something but I've never bothered about noticing the colours I've always just read the names. Never once had a problem.

    I don't find it so much confusing as much as interesting to see what they shortcut and what they don't. I wondered what someone else did, whether the animation had something to do with hidden/secondary properties.

    I'm sure it doesn't bother everyone but it has been a problem for me quite a few times. I'm always changing runes around specially during baal/cerb and its faster to see the colours then read the names, a lot of times i end up putting righteousness instead of intesseness or the other way around and when I'm waking up in the morning don't wanna be doing too much of reading right away
