Before you follow through with this new rune method, know this.

There are three kinds of players that I will differentiate by "upper class," "middle class," and "lower class."

Upper: Have every (or close to every) champion, rune, and runepage available. They typically can afford every new champion release due to having plenty of IP in their wallet.

Middle: Probably where most of the players live. Have just enough runes and champions to go off of, but are far from owning everything. They typically don't have much IP for long.

Lower: Just got into the game (or haven't played for too long). Have a few champions and probably no runes. They probably spend IP as soon as they get it.

If you implement this system with such low refund values, you're screwing over a ton of people.

Nobody is getting screwed over except people who didn't hoard their IP and not purchase every relevant rune and more than one runepage. New players get a completely fresh system of runes/masteries that requires zero play in to use (I use play instead of buy here because League of Legends is a free to play game). No more having to level up to level 18 just to have access to keystones, no more having to grind to 30 and grind the fuck out of IP just to be able to buy runes and play competitively. This makes league all in all much new player friendlier.

I don't very much like the fact that veteran players aren't being recognized for how much effort they put in to the game to make it to a competitively viable place in League of Legends. They are ignoring how hard it was to actually earn everything we did. Games used to be WAY longer back in the day, do you know how frustrating it was to only earn 90 IP for every 45-50 minute game? That's almost an hour of work to earn a little bit more than a tenth of a tenth of the IP needed to buy a 6300 champion. And that wasn't even factoring in the runes needed to even play it properly. I don't care anymore that I'm only getting back a 4th of what I spent on the runes and rune pages essentially. I care that we're just jumping to a new system and ignoring everything we accomplished in the old system, and only people who basically hoarded IP in fat sacks in a vault will be able to reap anything from this

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Posting unpopular opinions simply doesn't work.

You downvoters remind me of feminists.
