I'm confused as to why I spent 102,000 IP on runes but only get 26,000 back

Can someone explain why over 100+ hours of IP is being taken from me to give me access to a rune system that a brand new account that paid literally nothing and invested zero time will have access to as well? I don't exactly understand why old player have to pay so much for this new rune system thats being handed out for free to everyone regardless.

Seems to me that older players are pretty pissed while newer players who dont have much invested in runes or are getting 100% refunds are telling us that its not a problem. Hmmm weird how that works. When something doesnt affect someone directly it suddenly becomes "get over it" or "entitlement".

Let me put this in perspective Rito.

Old player: Could be straight up losing hundreds of hours worth of IP to gain access to a rune system that they already had full access to

New player: minimal to zero loss to gain access to a rune system that would have taken a hundred hours to get

And people wonder why the community is split? Old players are getting completely shafted. New players are gaining a lot for free. Gee sure is weird how half the community is pissed beyond belief and they other half is calling them babies. Wonder why that is?

What happened Riot?

"Many of you guys have spent a lot of IP on runes already. When we transition over to the new system, we'll have a plan in place to take care who have invested in runes and rune pages over the years"

What happened? You told us that you'd have our backs then you turn around and give us a 25% refund while newer players get 100%? I'm disappointed Riot. This feels like we're being robbed. Was this your plan to take care of us? I almost feel betrayed after defending you over the years. Even when that video was released I was right here on the boards telling people to have some faith and trust in you instead of freaking out. Then you turn around and do..... this..... to all the players who have supported you over the years. Do we not matter as much because you already have our money?

I'm sure there are going to be a bunch of newer player, hell maybe a few older ones too, that will be here promptly to disagree but I know me and my friends were so very disappointed by this. Man.....

Depreciation. It's like buying a new car. Once you take runes into a game they lose at least 10% of their value. They're not in mint condition anymore.

Need to get my AD reds in for a tune-up. They're only giving .7 AD each right now

Yeah, looks like your reds have a broken widget. It'll cost you 10,000 IP to repair them.

At least you didn't spend all your IP on runes with 0 refund, and only have 1/10th of the champions still. Now I have nothing to show for the investment I made.

The weirdest one is the rune pages. Giving "random" epic skins. So lame, I probably will get skins I wont even use lol.

It's generous enough imo

It's inconsistent. I have 106,095 IP in runes but will only get 15,600 BE. The inconsistency bothers me more than the actual return rate.
