I want a million dollars.
Upvote for that too.
I don't need any refunds. I still have 1 refund left and I'll probably never use it. I think only people who spend money on RP should get refunds. For example: 1 refund for every 10k RP bought. I think if anyone deserves to get refunds, it's the big spenders because they buy a shitload of things and there's a way bigger chance that they regret something.
That's too much. You could basically keep recycling your money and they would make way less
Waiter there is a %max hp true damage in my soup i want my money back!
I never spent a refund cause you shouldn't buy something you don't want.
An upvote and a bump for you.
But honestly, I'd settle for 1 per season.
1 refund is enough.
I'd even be happy with one refund per season.
I think that you should get refunds based around not how much you spend, but how much you play. If you hit x amount of games in a ranked season, you should get x refunds back. This means more people would maybe grind that last month of the season to hit 1k games or 500 games to get 3/2 refunds. It would look something like this..
At 1,000 Ranked matches : 3 refunds At 500 Ranked matches : 2 refunds At 250 Ranked matches : 1 refund
For Normals players
At 2,000 Normal matches : 3 refunds At 1,000 Normal matches : 2 refunds At 500 Normal matches : 1 refund
At 1,500 Normal Wins : 3 refunds At 750 Normal Wins : 2 refunds At 375 Normal Wins : 1 refund
These values would be PER SEASON, and would not accumulate over a longer period of time. Some people refuse to play Ranked, but love playing League and could accumulate thousands of Normal matches. I myself have played 681 Ranked matches this season as I post this, and will continue to rise as the season comes to an end. But I have seen people will well over 1,000 matches this season on my journey through Ranked, and believe that this system makes it so that regardless of skill level or rank, you will be guaranteed some sort of reward. If you play the game a lot, you should get rewards too, and for casual players who despise ranked, they would feel like they have something to work towards as well.
The pay off for Riot is the fact that you have people dedicating time and playing League of Legends just so they can reuse RP they felt they wasted when they were new (or drunk, it happens). I know I bought Dragonslayer Pantheon when I was new because I thought I liked Pantheon. But as I developed into my particular role throughout my first season, I really didn't see myself using that champion or skin at all. And if I could get my 1350 RP back, I would use it towards either Mystery Gifts for friends or buying a skin for a champion I actually play. This system could only work if you could not refund gifted skins, as it would be a broken mechanic in the system. Getting an 1820RP skin for 490RP then refunding it would make it absurdly flawed and abused, so any skin received as a gift would under no circumstances be able to be refunded.
Let me know what you think of this.
3 may be too much, however 1 refund per season would be perfect. A lot of summoners, myself included, blew our refunds way back when we first started on cheap champions because we didn't know any better. Thread updooted for rito's approval.
bump for justice!!! 
700 upvotes, wow.
Rito is like "what thread I don't see anything" 
I've never felt the need for a refund in this game.
As a business why would they do this? If they allowed 3 refunds per season that would mean that they would make substantially less money. Say you only bought 3 1350 rp skins each season and you get 1380 rp for $10. So times 3 that would essentially cost them $30 per summoner per season. And multiply that by every player that would do that and you have a lot of potential money being lost. A player's champ preference can change all the time, so you could simply refund a skin for a champ you don't play anymore, and get one for your new champ. Where as without the refund, you will most likely buy the skin anyways.
Having a refund is a courtesy from their part, they don't even have to do that. RIOT is a business, they'd lose money if they kept refunding your bad buying decisions every season.
3 refunds seems a little excessive. I own every champ, a lot of skins, but I wouldn't rewind any of them. I mainly only cycle through about 20 - 30 chamois regularly, but I just prefer having those other options. It's champs I never use at all that I end up with in ARAM, then actually end up being effective with them when certain ranked matches call for them. Specifically when I'm last pick.
Now I save money waiting for new skins, or gifting newly level 30 players who impress me with their gameplay.
No matter whether you think it should be Three Refunds per Season or Three at Creation with One per Season or even '1 Refund for X amount of RP' I think we all have to agree, the ability to have more refunds than the Initial Three would be something the entire community would be very thankful for.
For the fairness, only 1 refund a season. I think 3 is actually way too much.
I think it should be 3 refunds a season... Every month is just excessive.
It's not gonna happen.
I'd even be content with just 1 refund per season
3 refunds per season is waaay to much. IF they plan on doing anything, thye should have 3 initial refunds, with 1 refund fill every season, up to a max of 3.
I agree on this matter. I don't see what's so taboo about having a few strikes at the chance of refund, it's not like they're losing money, it's just giving another chance to somebody who didn't feel satisfied about a skin or champion. It's also unfortunate for me because as a newbie (and other newbies that made the same harsh mistake) I refunded an IP champion (forgot the specific) and they were pretty much all IP refunds. They can also lower the time period to exempt refunds (90 days to 30 or 45?), I wouldn't mind a single bit for a 1 month seems like enough to determine if I like a champion/skin or not.
What about 1 refund every new season, regardless of rank or # of wins or games? Refund of only RP or IP, not real life money.
2 years after, Riot hasn't implemented this. Make this thread has 30,200 upvotes instead.
I would be okay if we could either purchase refunds, (riot would still get something out of it) or if we could get free refunds annually.
lol, Riot doesn't even care, and silly yearly threads like this won't change that
1 a season is good. they can stack up. I feel like three per season is too much.
I agree with this because at the end of the Day, it's not sending money to your bank account, you're still going to need to spend it on League of Legends...
Second highest upvoted NONRIOT RESPONSE thread on the boards. What is higher? The exact same thread.
For goodness sake i was cho gath top ap-tank and i had illaoi against me that ult destroyed me.Nerf her please or just make it not to heal her when she hits you with a tentacle
I think this should be put into action because of the fact that when people first start the game, they foolishly waste their refunds like a lot of us have done.
I upvoted, but I want to add this as a condition: in general, it is a good idea to wait for a free week and try before you buy (since LoL does not have a test mode). On the other hand, the refunds should be for RP as well as IP purchases and have no time limit on them in case of a ill-informed and poorly executed rework (
, for example, which I would refund the IP I bought her with and the RP I spent on the Celestine skin, which I would happily use two of my three refunds to accomplish - this also could serve as a more reliable feeback tool than the boards: if they see a spike in refunds for a reworked champ, they may reconsider).
When I was new I refunded Jinx once and Taric twice.
Rito pls help me
you guys try this every season i think by now riot wont do it
This post in a nutshell:
"Riot please give me another chance because I fucked up and I'm incapable of realising my actions have consequences"
