Ill be talking about keystones first then the smaller runes.
Summon aery - have shielding and or can harass the enemies often Soraka, Sona, Janna
Arcane comet
Making poke more impactful or have an ability that has cc so it is likely to hit.
Users - Janna, Karma, Vel Koz
Aftershock
Have hard cc that causes you to be close to enemies.
Users - Nautilus, Blitzcrank, Leona
Guardian
For protecting your adc against heavy all in or if you have an ability that can activate guardian

Manaflow band
When you feel that you will run into mana problems in the game.
Nimbus cloak
To gain a movement speed boost. You can use nimbus cloak more often if you get more summoner spell haste through ionian boots or cosmic insight. Every time you use hextech flash you activate nimbus cloak too.
Transcendence
Have more ability haste and having your basic abilities reduce in cooldown after a kill or assist
Absolute focus
Take this when you know most of the time high health or completely dead lol.
Scorch
When you are able to poke the enemy with your abilities often

Ghost poro
Every time your wards die on its own it becomes a ghost poro granting vision and gives you adaptive force. When an enemy gets pinged by the ghost poro you also gain ``adaptive force. Make sure you allow your wards to die on its own or else this rune becomes not as good as the other options.
Eyeball collection
Gain adaptive force after a kill or assist. Take this when you believe you will get a lot of kills or assists early to mid game.
Ultimate hunter
If you want your ultimate to have a shorter cooldown, every time you get a takedown meaning kill or assist you gain a shorter cooldown on your ult, each unique enemy champion counts as one stack. To gain max stacks you have to get a takedown on all the enemies.
Relentless hunter
If you want to gain bonus movespeed when out of combat, the way to stack it works the same way as ultimate hunter.
Font of life
Take this rune when your champion has cc and your allies are able to follow up on it with autos.
Second wind
When your versing a bot lane that will be trying to poke you a lot, the tiny bits of healing adds up.
Bone plating
When your versing enemies that want to use their hard cc to kill you.
Unflinching
When your champion is able to be hit with cc and not die instantly, you take this so you `can get out of their cc more earlier.
Revitalize
When your champion has a healing ability that you want to become stronger.
Perfect timing
Take this if you want to make a play for example dive the enemy bot then zhonyas.
Biscuit delivery
When you know that you will be versing enemies that want to poke you down, the healing and mana regen gets stronger the lower your current health and mana is.
Cosmic insight - this rune reduces the cooldown of your activation items including your trinket and summoners, mainly take this for the lower summoner spell cooldown.
