I still can't even login there, so I must say it here.
Honestly, if they want to remove runematch, I don't care. From the beginning I thought it should be more like a mutator that can be added to whatever mode you already play (and if it were, both of these issues would be very relevant. Balance - because making bad effects stronger would nullify the incentive for collecting as many runes as possible. And neutral runes would bring no diversity to the match. Actually, in current form "neutral" rune is clearly negative, and other than for making points, is to be avoided - kinda defeats the point. But possibility of getting neutral rune was not addressed in that message - I just got out that this mode is supposed to be gone altogether, so effort is pointless). Plus, I'd still much rather see eg. more music, like I said before.
At this point I think it's best to separate this entire discussion (#36 and from #39 from now on) as a new topic.
