Once you unlock every champ and all the runes and rune pages you need, IP becomes pretty useless. I believe that making it possible to buy skins with IP would be an awesome idea, but it would be an outrageous amount, like 100,000 IP for a normal skin. Legacy and Ultimate skins should be a lot more than that too, to keep it balanced. I know a lot of people that look at all of their IP and have no idea what to do with it, so I think this would be a good idea.
Personally, no. I don't see this being that good of a thing. I most certainly understand the uselessness of IP once you've unlock literally everything, but skins are probably Riot's main income-maker. I think A few more Free skins for join in in social media would be nice, and I'd love to see IP unlockable skins, but not the skins that are currently RP unlockable.
I think something like what Smite does would work better. Meet certain requirements with (insert champion here) and you unlock the ability to spend IP to unlock the "Look, I'm good at this Champion" skin
Riot said they know we need something else to spend IP on, but this was months ago, so who knows if they're actually doing anything about it hehe.
I don't think they would comply to that bc long time players who have tons of IP stocked up wouldnt really buy that much RP anymore and honestly they would make less money and who at riot wants that
I mean, while it sounds ridiculous it'll certainly have players playing this game 24/7 but you also have to watch for the veterans, maybe a special limited time event would be plausible.
i think its a good idea but they should do that to certain skins
I agree. To make it fair, they can get a 975 skin for 100k or something. It's worth something so why not.
I dont think so. RP is value. IP, isn't. Skins are something valuable. Buying something valuable with something non valuable would make that item...non valuable (the logic is #2StonkWitDis1) Also (in my opinion) i think this would make the value of RP useless. Just play the game and get free skins...
Good idea on paper, but let me ask you this-how many players out there, right now, have accrued anywhere near 100k without dropping at least 1/5 of that number in the form of RP to buy the boosts that make getting that amount feasible within what amounts to literal months of non-stop play? And even then, those people have probably done so over months/years, and spent the IP along the way to buy champs/runes/pages. You literally would never be able to save up the IP for even a 520 RP skin without buying boosts, by your scale. So at the end of they day, you'd be better off just buying skins...like Riot intended you to. I'm probably not going to spend money on the game, at least not in the forseeable future, but I know this idea won't work.
Besides, how do you define all the champs/runes/rune pages you need? Go try something new, something fresh and creative. Experiment! Who knows, maybe you'll make the next meta.
I agree.. i've spent like 800 bucks on this game.. now i'm just obtaining ip and nothing to do with it.. a skin for a very high IP price seems fair
Or cant u just do Ip to Rp(Trade)(10kIP for 100Rp)
100k is an outrageous number. I'd say about 8k-12k would be more realistic, and only on a few select skins, such as their 390 RP and maybe a few 520 RP skins for a few select champions. RP purchases I'd assume is Riots main income, so they wouldnt want you to be able to buy any skin you want for IP, and it'd be much easier to go find a neighbor who needs a favor and have them pay you $10 than to play long enough to aquire 100k IP. 100k is a rather insane number.
