The Final Rune/Rune Page Dispute

I see so much on the boards about runes.. and the cost associated with maintaining them.

1. People who want runes to stay the same. "If they removed the cost of runes they'd have to give so many refunds that it would destroy their finances" Wrong.. They don't do money refunds.. They'd refund the points which then could be spent on skins/icons ect... They lose nothing.. another point made is that without the income from Rune page expenses they may not even have enough to host LCS events... Those events are HEAVILY sponsored.. I doubt riot spends almost anything on them comparatively.

2. People who want to lower the cost of runes or make them like masteries: "Omg this would take weeks" ... There is a reason the phrase "Time is money" exists. No matter what something will always take your time, your money, or both.. League only takes time unless you choose to blow money...

The only sound argument I could come up with is the how disproportionate the ratio is.. Yes time=money.. Current min wage is 7.25 and lets be generous to this ratio and say you only work 5 hours (Pretty low) You made $36. That is enough for 4880 RP and only 590 is required. Yet the average game of aram pays out 60IP and take 20min. which pays out 900IP after 5 hours. I'm sure you all see where I am going with this.. The ratio is higher than even the IRS goes in interest. Anyway.. Leave your rebukes/comments below :P -Let's leave the toxicity out-
