I have nothing to spend IP on

TheDangerousTaco··1 votes·1,055 views

While I do agree that spending 2k ip on a single rune is wholly ridiculous, I don't think the new rune system should be 100% free. I kinda liked the days grinding up games, saving ip to buy runes. It made losses somewhat worth it when I would 0/18 by 30secs into the game, I could still say "welp you know what, at least I got some ip"

If these rune changes go into effect, can we have some feature to dump Ip into? I mean 13k name changes are fine, but there are only so many names one can make.

A few suggestions would be

  • custom game modes, ( someone mentioned this a while back and I think its a fantastic idea ). Like buying urf or poro-king for 10ip for 1day or something.

  • Ip based icons, ( not the 1500 ones, but something really worth it ) Something that takes a while to get so you can brag to your mom.

  • Dinosaur. Literally just a dinosaur spawns into rift next to your shop that you and your friends can look at. It wont do anything, its just purely for aesthetics.

  • On the same thought process as dinosaurs, what about custom animations you character can play in game. You know how they made the fire and ice death animations play whenever you killed a champion when you had that icon? Or even the mastery emote spam people do every 5secs, I think buyable animations would definitely make people want to spend IP. I would even pay 20k ip for something like that.

These are just some ideas, but overall If runes get reworked to become free, will we have anything to spend ip on?

I second this idea

There is always the option to dump it all over the champ shards and make them disappear by dusting everything you get.

But yeah, allow the player to buy some of the "privileged" items with IP would definitely be great. Doesn't matter how atrocious the exchange rate is, just don't be too ridiculous with it, I'm sure there is a market for that kinda thing for those who'd played for so much they've already bought the whole library of f2p items.

Yea, I myself am close to maxed out on runes. I have 16 pages and only missing a few obscure ones. ( even have gold per sec ). not too thrilled to buy new champs, so my only grind was trying out new combinations. I would usually have 20k ip at a time just sitting there.

Lol if riot really wanted too, they could even let you convert ip to rp. Like 1000- 1 ratio. Even that is better than nothing XD

The new champ will come out eventually

lol but I don't see how that relates to the originally post XD. I mean.. even if it was 7200, considering that new champs come out every 3-5 months, you can already save up 3 times as much :/ still a lot of IP just floating around

Well a new champ comes out every ~3 months or so. If you play 100 games a month, which would be 3 - 4 games a day, then you get about 12k IP a month. At some point, there is no other way than having hundreds of thousands IP in your account.

Twice a year you can buy chromas at 2k IP a pop. I got a bunch in the last sale.

"custom game modes, ( someone mentioned this a while back and I think its a fantastic idea ). Like buying urf or poro-king for 10ip for 1day or something."

Makes no sense (unfortunately, it would be nice); there have to be enough people playing for the queue to work. There's a reason these modes only run for short periods of time.

Yea I get that. But the ideas that if your in a custom game, you already have friends who want to play with you. Lol you have no idea how many times me and my friends would find random custom games to play hide and seek with in dominion map. Or play urf there and on aram XD.

I'm sure your not gonna spend ip on a custom game mode if your alone lol, but even if you do , there is always the option to leave it open for others to join ^_^ you could even make mini tournments out of it, giving league a breath of fresh air, to those who get stale with the idea of rift

I mean, they might revamp the whole system so that maybe ip won't even be a thing, or perhaps it will be scaled back so that you can get less per game. I wouldn't get animations or stuff like that for ip anyways. I've always liked that runes were worth something because it gave value to the effort and thought you would have to put in to runes and rune pages. With the rune changes they suggest, it makes ip almost obsolete, only counting towards champs, and the odd chroma or icon. Though with missions and a revamp to the reward system, I can almost see the concept of ip disappearing entirely
