Any chance of a IP-to-RP system being made at any point in time?

Hi! I was just thinking that I, like a lot of other people I know, have a ridiculous amount of IP kinda just sitting around getting bigger and bigger. I've already purchased every champion in the game and every rune in the game, and I don't really plan on getting a name change any time soon. So, as of right now, the only thing I am able to spend IP on is the mystery champion shards, which is good, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for at the moment, seeing as i have all the champs I consistently play at lvl 7. I was just wondering if it would be possible for, sometime in the future, a system to be created that allows a transfer of large amounts of IP into some RP. Like, for example, maybe make 1500 IP worth 100 RP or something like that, I'm sure there's a formula out there that would perfect that transfer system.

Sincerely, A player with 13,837 IP and nothing to spend it on ;--;

I don't think Riot would like that

I support as they need to reward long time players

Something like 50000 IP for 100 RP might be reasonable while still not affecting company profits.

EDIT:

Actually, on second thought, no. This should not be a thing. It would exaggerate the problem of people using bots to farm IP. It would create a new demand and as such I expect a lot more people would be getting in on IP farming to profit from the RP gains. We might start seeing websites pop up where you spend money and they would gift you a skin or something from one of these farming accounts. This new market would result in us seeing a lot more bots in our games.

For those of you who don't know about these bots, get on an account below level 30 and queue up for a Twisted Treeline 3v3, there's a 100% chance that one of the 5 other players is one of these farm bots. Legend has it that they are on SR now. We don't want to make this problem worse.

If account must have "x years/Months" tenure.

Then yes. It would discourage botters. because only the dedicated player base would be affected.

As these players are the ones that want to see continued improvements to the game. Also I have a friend that has everything and every rune and 330 skins. He just changes his summoner name everytime he gets enough IP. Buys new champs and saves for small perks like summoner icons for IP and such.

OR Riot should just make ALL skins UNDER 520 RP sell for 52,000 IP in store. (ip amount to be determined)

IMO That would be better for IP dump and wouldn't affect profits and might increase profits because the crappy low level skins would get visibility.

Hey I created a thread about JUST my response to this thread and I feel if we colaborated we could develope an actual plan to get this implemented as I truly see viability in it and next to no loss for Riot.
