Please Lower ADC Prices

I am an ADC main, but I didn't really full on "main" the position until a bit past level 30. Before I became an ADC main, I tried to balance my champ pool to see what I liked playing, so I only started maining ADC with a couple of ADC champs. While I was trying to decide what champion to buy next, I noticed that ADC champs are expensive. There are three ADC champs under 3150 IP which are Ashe, Sivir, and Tristana (please don't yell at me if I missed something). This means that every time I want to buy a new champ, I have to save up 3150 IP or more. Keep in mind that I don't play League around the clock either. I'll usually play 2-3 games a day. If I win all 3 games, I'm pretty sure I'd get about 300-400 IP (again, I'm not 100% accurate, so please don't yell at me if I'm wrong). And that's only if I'm winning every game I play! I request that some ADC champs should get price drops. I think that this would make this role, and possibly the game more accessible to newer players. Please upvote if you agree, and leave your thoughts in a comment.

yes most of the good adc's are expensive. I dont see it as much of a problem as you play the cheap ones at first mainly cause they take less skill to play. Everyone that mains adc had to start the same way.Sure it took me forever to save up for lucian or jhin but it was worth it in the long run i think. as a new player i can see how that would be a heavy task to wait for someone that you really want but if u dont have alot of champ hexatech crafting can help get some of the 6300 guys

The prices should stay where they are. You play, and work your way up to the goodies. Or you purchase them with riot points. Nothing should be handed to you pal. "Favors" doesn't work with business. Skins and champs are an income source as you know. [zombie-brand-mindblown]

I'd just like to point out that Ashe and Sivir are both extremely strong right now.

I realize this doesn't solve the issue of expanding your champ pool in the way you might like, but I also think you can get more than 400 ip a day in 3 wins. I'm pretty sure your first win of the day will almost give that much alone.

The truth is, I think you can pick up a good 3150 champ before the end of the weekend, unless you currently have some 0 ip.

Unfortunately, you sort of got screwed by riot making leveling go by faster. Even this time last year it often took twice as long to hit 30, and in that amount of time a player could pick up a handful more champs to play with. That said, you do get the opportunity to pop open hextech boxes to fill in the gaps. The randomness of it can feel unfair, I'm sure, but when you have so few champs, it's likely that almost every shard you get is a chance at a fun new champ.

My advice is, keep playing. Keep learning. Spam the three adcs you do have until you can mop up anyone and everyone with any of them, and at that point you will surely have made the IP to have a few more. =p

They do get price drops. Champs are on rotating sales all the time.

I like the system in place now. As a new champion comes out, it slowly pushes the price down of the older, new champions.
