Did you even listen to it?

The point is that this is something that's being offered to you, and you don't have to pay money for it. The response should be, "Holy shit! We can use IP to buy things that make us stronger in our next game? That's awesome!"

Not "Holy shit. I have to earn 400 IP before I can buy some stupid rune?"

That's why it's relevant. You are not entitled to runes. You are offered them as a way of customizing your game play, and you receive the IP to buy them as a free gift after playing a match. Sounds like a pretty awesome set-up. So, why the hell are people complaining?

Thing is, thousands of people have probably already grind-ed through those 15+ games already (not necessarily for that type of Quint) and even if Riot compensated them for a change in price, they aren't going to get those 15+ games worth of time back.

Not to mention that, beyond rune purchases, a lot of people actually have NO need for IP so refunding some as compensation is pointless.

So why not cut losses and fix it for future players

People grinded to get 6300 for: Ahri, Ziggs, Sejauni, Viktor, and Volibear, and they all had permanent IP reductions. Did Riot compensate them for buying those champs? No.

beyond rune purchases, a lot of people actually have NO need for IP

What? Since when? A majority of people use IP to get champions. Only people who really want champions in a hurry or can afford to wipe themselves with their money spend RP on champs. If you asked the community which they use to buy champions, they would say "IP", with a smaller percentage saying "RP".

I bought Garen for 3150 ip.

"A lot of people" Like, how many? How many players do you think actually have ALL Champions, ALL the runes they want, and ALL the rune pages? There are way more players who still have a lot of things to grind, and they'll never get most of them without buying RP.

I have 90% of the runes, and I buy every new champ with IP. 10 rune pages... yes its been expensive (IP wise) but hey its free, im not going to complain about it. gives me some goal outside of every game to keep playing.

I can't wait for my 9 attack damage boost. :D

To fill a rune page, I could have over 5 6300 champs instead. GG Rito.

Marinaras TrenchMar 25, 20151 votes

a rune page is not 30k ip xD

ActuallyArrowMar 25, 20151 votes

depending on how you build your rune page, it could.

Nevermind the fact that its better to go flat armor quints with scaling health seals unless you absolutely need that flat health pre-sixth level.

Considering that scaling health is essentially a quarter the cost of flat health... and that flat armor quints are basically half the cost of flat health quints!

FreshMeat707Mar 24, 20152 votes

I understand how you feel, what is it, 800+ IP for ONE

I repeat, ONE

CD Reduction GLYPH?!?!?

wouldn't be so bad if it were %

flibitydooMar 24, 20151 votes

It's not even worth it apparently, since it's better to go health seals armour quints rather than armour seals health quints due to the nerf to armour seals.

What do you suggest the price to be?

Marinaras TrenchMar 25, 20151 votes

1k each come in packs on 3/9 for quints/red/blue/yellows respectively

Final Raid BossMar 24, 20151 votes

it's riots ancient form of an ip sink that maybe worked in season 1, there is no reason we should even have to pay for runes at this point. all riot has to do is allow us to buy skins for ip and that would be an even better sink than the one they have now with runes.
