Riot, your random prices/point amounts/sale prices drive me nuts

(1322 RP) It frustrates me to no end how the pricing scheme, amount of points you can purchase, and the random bits left over when you buy promotional items can leave you just short of a purchase, or leave you with just a tiny amount of RP left.

I want to use it all up. This is driving me nuts and giving me OCD. I realize that most free games/apps use a points system for a reason, but that doesn't mean it isn't really frustrating for the customer. I really wish they'd work like Blizzard does and just charge dollar amounts for everything....

I have heard that on occasion Riot will help out if you're off by just a small amount from making a purchase. I don't suppose that this is close enough to qualify? I'd really like to use up my RP without having an unusable amount left over (Even mathing out every purchase possibility, and yes, I did that, the best I can come up with is ending up with an even 100 RP including My Shop sales, which doesn't even buy a hextech key.)

Well that's the reason they have 'riot points'. If you just bought a skin for $4.50, you wouldn't have any change left to put toward another skin.

By selling you 650RP for $5 (or whatever the going price may be) they leave you with, say, 50 RP left after a purchase. It feels like a waste of money because you bought points you can't use, so you can either buy more points or feel wasteful.

I think it's common practice for all f2p games.

I'd rather they not work like blizzard to get skins you gotta either A) get very lucky or B) buy it using Lootbox currency :/ you can't pay money for skins
