Should I buy more champs or another rune page

I've got about 7k ip saved up and I'm debating whether I should spend it on a third rune page or on more champions. I'm level 23 and I have one generic AD page and one generic AP page. A third page for support would be nice, but obviously there are a lot of champs I want too. I currently have Annie, Ryze, Sivir, Tristana, Alistar, Soraka, Trinadymare so there are quite a few gaps in my lineup. With 7k I could buy either both GP and Udyr, 5 tier 2 champs, or GP and a bunch of tier 2 champs. I'm kind of torn since more rune pages gives me more flexibility, but so do champs. So I turn to you, is it better to get more champs and round out my lineup or get another rune page for increased flexibility.

I would personally spend $5 on RP if I wanted an extra rune page.

I would probably just buy champs. Runes are a nice +, but you don't own that many champions, so I would go for champs.

This is kind of what I was leaning towards. I just graduated recently and am looking for a job, but I can definitely see myself spending the 20 bucks or whatever for the rune page bundle when I do get some steady income.

I know a lot of people who are fine with just two runepages [generic AD/tank page, generic caster/support page], but I personally like having more. I'd recommend spending your IP on champions until you hit level 30, at which point it'll be a little easier to determine how many pages you want.

This seems like good advice, the rune pages I have now are working fine so it might be silly to have rune pages but no champions to use them.

Right now with your champion selection, I'd focus more on expanding your selection first. Then once you're more comfortable with the champions you'll be able to farm up IP to buy more rune pages if you really feel like you need it.

I'd have to agree with champion buys. Save just enough for 2 runes when you level up and then buy champs with the rest. I've been doing that since I hit 20 and quite enjoy buying a champ and learning them.
