Okay, it's time to allow people to purchase Tier 3 rune packs for RP

I am currently sitting on 150RP I cannot do SHIT with, but I only have lvl 2 runes, every bit of IP I earn is spent on champ shards, trying to get good champs, etc (got leblanc, karma, sion, teemo), and I am level thirty.

I want to be able to actually get good runes, it would be great.

Why can't tier 3 runes be priced at 1-4 RP EA (105ip=1rp, 205=2, 410-3, 820-4

Do the same with the quints, or just make them all 5 RP ea.

Why this has not been an option, IDK, but I would REALLY appreciate someone from Riot letting me know if this is something they would consider, or if there is a reason that it cannot be implicated. (Too difficult, too much code, if it breaks the game, accidentally summons Cthulhu, etc)

I want to toss a comment in here.

There may be uproar by some that state "They are just trying to get more money from you, blah blah blah". Listen, most people who buy RP, usually have an idea of what they want, me, I wanted a rune page, and I gotst it. Most people who get RP, usually want that skin for sale for their main, or that rune page bundle, etc.

Almost everything (except runes, wtf man!) are RP purchasable, so allowing them to be sold for RP should be no big deal.

It is nice knowing that when you got 65 RP left over, you can get those 2000 ip quints you thought about, but realized you would never be able to get.

My dream, is to get 3 of the tier 3 flat cd quints, and 9 flat cd glyphs, which is roughly, 13200 ip, which is FUCKING INSANE.

Do the logical thing and add this into the game, in my opinion, it would make buying RP more worthwhile, knowing that you have the potential to spend anything less than 95 or whatever on aram skin boost.

Even if I get the Aram skin boost, I am left with 55 RP, and imagine, I could actually have tier 3 ap pen marks, or tier 3 life seals, but instead, I am left looking at something that ACTUALLY makes me feel like I need to spend more, and that kinda pisses me off.

Why don't you sell all available tier 3 runes, + 3 x-tra rune pages for 3000 RP? Would be alot more useful than those 5k 4 skin, 4 champ bundles.

EDIT: Hell, even a 6k bundle with all 1350+450 champs, all tier 3 runes, and 3 x-tra rune pages sounds better than pretty much all of the deals you guys have atm.

Simply put, making runes cost RP simply crosses the line into pay to win. The more sensible idea/debate is them repricing tier 3 runes or offering the rune sales up more than twice a year.

Additionally Riot already has stated they have a plan about runes, but have only been vague so far other than the fact it will not be happening in the current season.

I don't think so personally, everything else is available for RP purchase.

Then they should sell packs:

All health tier 3 runes, quints, marks, seals, glyphs. All AP tier 3 runes. All AD tier 3 runes. All utility tier 3 runes. ETC.

for like 1280 RP ea.

They need to implement something where someone with 5-50rp can do something besides having to buy more RP to use.

Logically, it makes sense to have this option available, but I realize some people are what I stated previously, and buy specific things with their rp, and don't care if they have some RP left over, as they just think it will help them with the next thing they want.

I just want tier 3 runes, and I play EVERYDAY, and I only have a basic attack spped tier 3 rune page, so i have tier 3 armour seals and MR glyphs, but besides that, all the rest is tier 2. I have been playing this game for a while, the amount of IP I have earned is ridiculously dismal.

If I was a new player trying to start this game, I would quit after the first week-month due to the way either the IP system is set up, or the way the tier 3 rune system is setup.

I don't understand why some tier 3 quints are 500 ip, and others are 2000ip.

I want 3 cd quints, and 9 cd glyphs, tier 3, go look at the price of them, ask me if I will ever be able to get that much?

I get all 450 ip champs, then started trying to roll through the hextech system, made out pretty well, but I have been ineligible for over 4 months due to a previous chat restriction (it was only 10 game). So I just buy the champ shards.

Maybe I am just bitching, but it does seem stupid.

No, the problem is the concept of "Pay to win" that gamers despise immensely.

If Riot let someone pay to get an ingame advantage over someone else, without having to 'earn' that advantage, will make this game be perceived to be a Pay to Win game.

There is absolutely no way Riot will make Runes for RP, no matter how low of a price they would be.

Seriously, 5 RP for quints? Dafuq are you smoking?

IF, and a big IF, Riot makes them for RP, Quints would cost at least 100 RP each.

Your right, some people do not spend money in game at all, and would be seen as a pay to win thing, I thought it out more, and you are right.

EDIT: There are people out there who want the flat cd quints and glyphs as well, but theres a reason its 13-14k ip, because the advantage that you gain by earning them, experience, etc. Would suck if some guy could guy come in, buy 5 full perfect rune pages, before he even understands the gameplay.
