They are still expensive as fk and if you dont play for almost seven years like i do or play like 10 games a day its very hard to afford them.

Cool, so I'll get refunded the 153799 IP I've spent on runes over the past 3 years. #kappacchino

ROFL, maybe they should start making hextech chests available for like 50k ip xD

PaladinNODec 17, 20161 votes

I've been a combatant of skin purchasable for IP equivalent of 20x the RP cost for a long time now. Considering the Hextech system, it wouldn't be a stretch to be realistic about something like that.

So, 150k IP back for the runes, plus the ~176k I already got (216k, but subtracted the last champions I'll buy come Christmas Evelynn )...that's a lot of stuff with nothing to spend it on.

I'd settle for icons. A 100.000 IP icon sounds nice (or a 250.000 one). :)

Papa AndreiDec 17, 20161 votes

Maybe the 750 or less skins can be bought for ip, or for a limited time (Like one week) new skins can be bought for ip, but like a 520 would be 100k ip

PaladinNODec 17, 20161 votes

IP equivalent of 20x the RP cost would make a 1820 RP skin 36400 IP. Not exactly something obtained easily for the casual player.

Papa AndreiDec 18, 20161 votes

Well that is kinda the point. Maybe have it in increments,, low tier skins are 5x, high tier (Ultimates and legendaries are 20x) It isn't meant to be for the casual player. ITs an alternative to the people who have played the game since like season 1 and have so much IP they can't do anything with.

PaladinNODec 18, 20161 votes

I'm game for anything I can sink some real number of IP into, really.

Kahl Drogo98Dec 16, 20163 votes

agreed with scissors, and they reduced the price of tier 2 runes to 1 ip per rune

tier 2 runes dont matter. tier 3 do.

Tier 2 runes are good enough until you can buy tier 3 ones..

Also it's not like runes are gamechanging. The difference between tier 2 and 3 runes is like 20% in stats. Not that big of a disadvantage.

Anubhav RocksDec 16, 201610 votes

20% IS hell alot. It can matter A LOT.

If you have +10 AD/+2 AD, IT MATTERS FOR AD champions A LOT, IT increases THEIR OVERALL BURST, AND THE ratios.

Runes are important in the early game. Past your first back they barely matter anymore and if you have 5 AP or 4 AD more or less is very irrelevant.

Trust me. I've played this game a lot and on accounts with and without runes.

It matters way more how you play than if you have 100% min maxed stats.

Especially since you could just take tier 2 runes and then buy tier 3 runes one by one.

That 5 armor, or whatever could make a difference, it could save you in some cases. It HELPS for the whole game, crit chance matter A LOT, crit damage ALSO MATTERS A LOT. Tier 3 runes are better in all cases. they can be game changing, you never know, one crit can save a game.

No, the longer the game goes on the less relevant runes become. 5 armor late game is nothing. 5 armor early game does matter. That is exactly why you upgrade from tier 2 to tier 3 runes WHEN YOU CAN

You're not disproving my point.

PS: never take crit damage or crit chance runes (maybe one crit chance rune if you're feeling cheeky)

SkorchDec 16, 20164 votes

The 1% crit rune in your rune pages is necessary. There is no greater feeling

I don't care what anybody says. When this dam Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo Yasuo walks away with 1 health, then his shield pops saving him from ignite, ur gonna make a post about tier 3 prices lol

10TicklerDec 16, 20161 votes

....PFFFFFFFFFFT, nah.

Playing support Karma with 17 extra AP at the start of the game makes all the difference when I don't get to buy combat stats on my first two backs.

Playing in a more aggressive role, 30 AP is NOTHING to scoff at, that's a 435 gold+ investment into damage.

AuroramancerDec 18, 20161 votes

You realize he said 20% DIFFERENCE, not 20% in value.

If we use your example of Tier 3 runes providing +10 AD, then Tier 2 runes would provide +8 AD.

Losing out on -2 AD but conserving upwards to 1800 IP is VERY economical

Anubhav RocksDec 18, 20161 votes

aha. i did not see that, then I am sure he is correct.

ScissorsNstuffDec 16, 20162 votes

why should the price be reduced, pour time into the F2P game if you want runes or pay money to speed up

I did it the cheap way. You don't need every rune

10TicklerDec 16, 20162 votes

Can't buy Runes with RP.

Argument = Null

ScissorsNstuffDec 16, 20161 votes

what are you talking about?

and yes you can, when you buy a boost you are effectively getting more ip for RP

10TicklerDec 16, 20162 votes

You cannot Directly purchase RUNES with RP.

You can buy IP boosts, sure, and that IP can go towards Champions, Rune Pages, or Runes, although the amount you make is negligible when a full standard rune page costs as much as a champion

ScissorsNstuffDec 16, 20161 votes

I make enough to buy a champion in a week or two, if you buy a time based boost you could easily get enough for a rune page and may runes.

As I said, you can spend money to speed it up.

6300 IP isn't that hard to get unless you're either short on time or a not very good at the game (respective of the level you are currently playing at)

A daily reminder that runes should be free.

HyperiönDec 16, 20161 votes

Or unlock them as you level a new account, that would be the ideal thing.

Spice POWAHDec 16, 20162 votes

The real victim of rune prices is Ryze

This guy's been farming runes since release and he STILL doesn't have enough.

FernanixDec 16, 20161 votes

WHAT YOU WANT TO LOOK AT MY SCROLL?!?!?!? GET BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ryze Ryze

FourVsFiveDec 16, 20162 votes

Just make all runes cost 300ip and make quints cost 600. Simple easy and affordable. Do not really understand why there is a huge price gap in different runes no need for that.

OokamiNoSoraDec 16, 20161 votes

a daily reminder nah

MorgManBasherDec 16, 20161 votes

It's pretty damn bad tbh.

ZedexDec 16, 20161 votes

Its a business strategy. They'll never sell IP boosts otherwise. You also have to spend more time playing the game, again a business strategy..

More time on LoL inevitably means more $$$ for RIot.

Like it or hate it, its just how it is. We'll be waiting until at least the end of the 2017 season before any changes are made to Runes, and even then, because of Riots history of not following through with things for whatever reason, it might not even happen.
