Should everyone have the option to change their Summoner Name once for free? [POLL]

I'm fairly surprised this wasn't already implemented in the shop, and although I'm not interested in changing my name, I have a few friends who can't really afford to throw money at an online game, but would love to change their username, whether it be they are unhappy with their first one, or want to create a champion integrated IGN. Should everyone have 1 free summoner name change?

How about we get runes for free first, you know, the blatant cash grab for in-game power that Riot still hasn't fixed and costs you anywhere from a few months to a few years to get filled out unless you play hours every day, and even then takes away from your ability to increase your pitifully small champion pool for your first few years of playing.

In some ways I want to say yes, but at the same time I think about it and Riot already gives away a lot of money through end of season rewards, good behavior rewards, free content in the form of music, hextech is technically free if you don't spend any cash on the chests and you can get any skin in the game.

I just looked at it and completely forgot you're able to purchase a summoner name change for IP albeit quite a bit of IP, but that's technically free just for using your time on the game.

You guys are basically asking for free shit now.

Riot has already given us so much, and a majority of other games forces you to pay real life currency if you want to change your name.

Riot gives you the option to grind or pay a bit of cash to get your name changed, and they honestly don't have to make name changes available with IP.
