I had 138 IP when I bought Illaoi on release
I now have 16k IP and this is with me playing far less than usual and without any party reward bonuses/boost etc.
This is ridic Rito, we need something to dump IP on besides a new champ every other month. Runes aren't that attractive since you've basically shifted the game to the point where only certain runes and masteries can even be used now. Some champs aren't even playable or barely are so aren't even worth buying
so on and so forth.
I get you're doing this hextech crafting thing but from what I saw it doesn't involve IP at all.
We need new things like maybe a shop that gives you icons/loading screen stickers or w/e based on champs you have tier 5 masteries for. Make chroma skins purchasable for IP when you get tier 5 on a champ
If I can come up with ideas like these on the spot you can do it with a team Rito
