Saw runes were going down in price
Cries when I realize I already own 9 (or 3 for quints) of every type being put on sale. Guess I will just have to save up more of the IP I can't use anymore to eventually buy them all for fun and to buy as many rune pages as I want. I still think rune pages should be about 4800 IP but meh. I guess this is nice for newer players. I remember the rune grind so much. Sucked because I wanted new champs and now that I own them all it sucks to have nothing to spend it on. I miss the random icons that would go on sale for IP, I mean at least put the jungle icons on sale for 1350 IP each seeing as we should be allowed to get the new jungle monster icons for free considering we still have the ones from the original game. Guess I will keep sticking to my Tuxedo icon for awhile because so many icons are either kind of nothing now or you have to but them with money. At least the icon for good behavior is actually pretty cool though for a free icon.
Like no offense to Riot, but I really think Icons should be sold for IP as well, at the very least 1350 for non-event icons. Also I think you should probably look at reducing MS quints as well as lifesteal quints too. Maybe to 75% of their value now (give some of the noobs the ability to play safer and dodge easier, plus some champs use these as core quints). I mean its nice and all to reduce values but you really just made all of the general runes cheaper.
Or even could we see like an IP booster type thing where you can increase the incentive for being nice to your team. Like pay X IP upfront to provide a 1 game 50% IP boost to your team. It will help you boost some of your friends up a little bit faster. And it could even have a little message in chat saying "x has activated an IP booster for your team" similar to skin boosters in ARAM.
TL DR:
WE NEED AN IP SINK FOR LONG TERM PLAYERS. But thank you Riot for alleviating new players of some of the grind that made everyone's lives miserable early on.
