Rp and Ip prices are way to high...

TheFallenShaw··2 votes·714 views

I mean come on, In order for me to get the champions I want for the roles/lanes I want its gonna cost me 12435rp or 72,750ip

Thats basically $100, over it if you consider the fact I already own some of my mains. In order for a summoner to have 4 champions in each role(top,mid,adc,jug,support) It cost them either over $100 or 855 games, thats at 70 for a loss and 100 for a win not counting the 150 daily mind you. I used the average of 70 and 100 to get it which was 85. But back to the point. At just 855 games that would take a person useing and average of 30mins per game ( though they really last longer) 472 hours.

Thats just crazy. Yes i know its not common to have more than one or two main champs for a lane.... and (472hours) is why. Now alot of people might say there's no way you could have 4 mains for each role and they would be right. However You very well could have 1 main for each role and 3 secondarys. Why would I want to have 4 champion for each role you might ask. Well it's simply really, Although it is very unlikely to happen there is a chance that 3 of the 4 champions for said role could be banned. Also you could be the last man to choose a champion in ranked draft. When both of these things happen your left with what? Nothing, or rather a bad pic. Its like your being forced to support with Warwick or Yi. Yeah I've acutally seen it tried, a support WW that is.

I say Riot needs to lower the prices on these champs, they just keep getting higher and higher. Please note that we haven't even gotten into the ip cost of runes.... shutters at the though... 22000 for a single page not counting the cost of new page...

Prices for champs and skins are fine where they at. Ya it annoying to play to get a champ but it makes you really think what champ you want to buy. Runes on the other hand I believe hurt the most and are a little steep, spent 5k ip yesterday on a page, so if you want to have one for each role you need 5 at least

Umm actually it depends on who you want/play.

4 for each role?

My favorites: Top: Lulu, Malphite, Vladimir, Shyvana Mid: Orianna, Karma, Brand, Malzahar ADC: Caitlyn, Ashe, MF, Sivir Support: Janna, Soraka, Karma, Lulu Jungle: Vi, Elise, FIddlesticks, Amumu

  • 450 (260) Ashe, Sivir, Soraka, Amumu,
  • 1350 (585) Malphite, Janna, Fiddlesticks
  • 3150 (790) Karma, Miss Fortune
  • 4800 (880) Vladimir, Shyvana, Orianna, Brand, Malzahar, Caitlyn
  • 6300 (975) Lulu, Vi, Elise

IP 450 x 4 = 1,800 1350 x 3 = 4,050 3150 x 2 = 6,300 4800 x 6 = 28,800 6300 x 3 = 18,900

= 59,850

RP 260 x 4 = 1,040 585 x 3 = 1,755 790 x 2 = 1,580 880 x 6 = 5,280 975 x 3 = 2,925

= 11,158

If I'm being really honest I've only played Brand and Malz 2 or 3 times each. I really just play Orianna, Karma, and Lulu mid but I didn't want to put Lulu in there 3 times. I could have Easily subbed Shyv into jungle instead of Elise (another champion I've only played 2 or 3 times) and I jungle Malphite a bit too.

My real 'mains' would be more like: Top: Braum, Lulu, Leona, Malphite, Sivir Mid: Orianna, Lulu, Karma, Zilean ADC: Cait, Ashe, MF, Sivir Support: Janna, Lulu, Karma, Orianna, Zilean, Ashe, Braum, Leona Jungle: Malphite, Vi, Amumu

It's pretty obvious that I don't main top because everybody I play top is somebody I also play somewhere else. On the other hand it's pretty obvious I main support because those are the champions you see me playing in every lane (and 2 out of the 4 ADC I named can be considered 'support carries')

I actually only named 14 champions and you need 16 for draft. I would have named 15 because I used to spam play Soraka support/top like nobody's business, but I haven't played too much of the new Raka. You'll get 16 champions by level 30 unless you're only looking for 6300IP champions. There are so many powerful champions at the 3150 and under level that it's not even funny.

I own over 80 champions atm and I started playing last November. I have 6 rune pages (I will be honest that the rune pages were bought during the 2 for 1 sale) full of runes for every role I need. I've only bought a couple of champions with RP, the ones I have were champions that I wanted but knew I wouldn't use much (like Vi because I don't really play top or jungle), but between the IP boosts Riot has given me for being a positive player, activating my email, being under level 10, double IP weekends, and just playing the game I've been able to unlock a lot of content. I don't know why people think it's that hard.
