Add all runes to the 7-page bundle

Disclaimer: If you have 100000 IP and every possible rune, champion, and 10 runepages you shouldignore this thread because whether or not they do this, you'll still have nothing but new champions to spend that IP on.

Simply the title. As many pro players have shown, more rune pages alone are not worth much. To charge 2600 RP to the players who want them, with zero runes along with them, is

truly outrageous.

All tier three runes alone are several hundreds of thousands of IP, and I'm not exaggerating. Try converting that to RP, then to cash. It's a lot.

IP doesn't convert to cash. I've brought that up in a different thread. Rune pages incorrectly cost 6300 IP when their RP cost should only convert to 3150. It's bad enough they charge for rune pages when the runes aren't free, and mastery pages are completely free.

And convert the efficiency of 7 rune pages to IP. That's a whopping 0, since they alone have no conversion factor.

I wasn't referring to Rune Pages, I was referring to the runes. What runes would be given along such a package? What if you don't want runes that lower death timers? Did you want them to give all the runes?

That is what I was referring to. Rune pages obviously don't cost hundreds of thousands of IP, But the runes do. Some quintessences are almost as much as the page they are on, and there is still 27 more runes. Even halving the price of the pages and the runes wouldn't be cheap. 362K Is a lot of IP, and stays that way even if you halve it.

So once again, to reiterate, I was pointing out the cost of runes, not the pages.

And don't downvote those you are having a conversation with, it's frankly quite rude.

I clearly said All of them, including the ones that no pro or high-rank player ever uses. That'd make up for the cost.

And don't be a hypocrite.

Then you are asking for a pay-to-win scenario. Spend 2600 for several pages and all the runes you would and would not need? 362.000 IP worth of Runes for 2600 RP. Players, on average, earn around 80 IP per game, which would take about 4.525 games to earn. But hey, just undo all that actual work and effort for just under 20 dollars worth of RP.

Also, I haven't downvoted a thing here, and if I did, it would be the post, not the discussion, so there is no hypocrisy here.

It's not a pay to win scenario at all, and if you're to claim that then it ALREADY is, since the only reasonable way to buy rune pages instead of champions is with RP.

I've already done all the calculations for IP cost per hour, and it already takes 4 times the amount of gaming that a person should do a day, as recommended by doctors, without paying just to get 1 champion in any reasonable length of time.

Runes don't have such a crucial impact that they make the game pay to win, and as such should be free anyway. They're akin to Masteries in effect.

Because Riot will absolutely, 100% not listen to any notion regarding lowering prices, this is the next best bet we have. And yes, downvoting the thread because you can't understand the concept or misconstrue it is pretty hypocritical if you're asking that someone who disagrees with you not downvote your comment.
