I always loved saving up a bunch of IP and then dropping it all at once on some new runes. There was only one part of the process I didn’t like: individual purchases. Clicking that “Buy” button and watching Katarina dance nine times in a row has always been painful. I haven’t purchased runes in months, so you can imagine my surprise when I noticed a new feature today. Bulk rune purchases are now built into the PvP.net client. Unfortunately, the feature isn’t working yet.

As you can see above, the rune purchase screen now has a quantity field. For the time being, the quantity can’t be changed, but it is a sign of good things to come. Well, it’s a sign of good things to come if you haven’t already maxed out your runes. I was surprised today when I noticed I didn’t have crit chance runes. I wanted to try out a couple different pages for a laning Master Yi so I bought some. I can’t say I’ll be buying others in the near future, but who knows. Maybe Riot will release something awesome. When they do, I’ll be buying in bulk.
