League of Legends Patch Improves Rune Pages and Adjusts Rune Balance

Popular Keystone Rune options are receiving balance changes in the upcoming patch with the rune pages themselves also getting several welcome improvements.

Some runes that were being used more than others such as the Resolve Keystone Rune Aftershock are getting nerfed in Patch 8.2 while others like Inspiration's Glacial Augment will see some buffs to help diversify the options taken.

But no matter which runes you choose to bring on your champs, everyone will benefit from the changes being made to the rune pages. You can now drag and drop rune pages to reorder them as you please in both the inventory and the dropdown menus, and after more than a few player requests, the option to h ide the preset rune pages in the inventory page will now also result in the pages being hidden once you get in champ select.

Below are all of the changes affecting the various League runes that are included in the official Patch 8.2 notes.
