A look at Future's Market

Hey Riot!

I'm a support main so naturally I do not make much money, but thanks to Future's Market I do not have too. Prior to Runes Reforged I had to wait for all the latest fashion trends-that extra 50 coins for Redemption or Crucible, or that extra 10 coins for a cheap baby monitor (control ward)- but thanks to my credit card, I can purchase all I desire by giving them 50 coins.

Forgive me if I didn't get any real message across. I just want to point out to Riot a subtle issue that may require consideration:

1.) Charging 50 coins for going in debt is very cheap. As the game progresses, 50 coins becomes more easily acquired, especially in regards to previously debt withdrawals.

Perhaps this not an issue currently, as it seems to mainly benefit supports as of now, however should Future Coin's stick to the thematic of risk and reward and become popular amongst thieves (i.e. champs who do not generally go inspiration roles), I believe that each consecutive investment should demand more capital. 

I initially invest 50 coins, believing a pink will save me 125 coins in terms of lives or coins from time/kills. However, should I invest AGAIN, I will have already benefited from a previous investment and now should have a higher amount of income, therefore the cost of another investment should demand from me equal consideration that maybe the cost this second time is not worth it. 

50 coins is not even risky amount early game, and it is even less risky an amount as the game progresses, especially since a previous investment may have increased standings.

To address this situation, I would consider changing the following (+ for increase, - for decrease): +initial investment price OR -initial credit available, -rate of credit increase over time, add compounding investment prices (i.e. 75 coin initial investment, 200 coin second, 400 coin third) and eliminating the possibility of going into debt to finish last item.

Sincerely, and with gratitude, Kullen
