Runes are enhancements that the Summoner provides to their champion. If the outlining color of the rune you've placed matches the color of the slot you put it in, it's a primary. If it doesn't match, then it's a secondary and you may get a significantly lower bonus, except in the case of some quintessences that give as good or better bonuses than the primary runes, listed below. This table is also available in spreadsheet format displayed by name or by primary, and with other features/analysis. They are 3 tiers of runes, going from least to most expensive: Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3. As of May 18th 2016, Tier 1 runes can no longer be purchased and all Tier 2 runes share a cost of 1 Influence Point.
Runes whose prices are crossed out have been removed from the store as of Patch 5.1, but still exist for those who already had them.
