simple question? if they gave runes and champs away for free how does the company earn $ to pay its employees and provide the game for you?

Question: Isn't IP an in game currency? It isn't a real form of cash or transaction is it not? This is not RP- Riot Points but IP- Influence Points, points earned from playing games to completion. I hate seeing the new champs be 7800 IP for a few days before going down to 6300 IP. It scares me for the future that a new champ will stay at 7800 IP pricing and from there own we have our new wave cost.

ip is something you get for playing the free game so you have a chance to get some game content for free...

then they reward you with hextech crafting as well

so they create a game you can sign up for and play for free?

they give you "in game currency" for simply playing the free game ?

and yet reward players with free champs/ skins etc ?

but if they throttle or limit how much FREE shit you get its an issue?

That's the point of RP and skins. Skins have motivate people to get rp since the only other way you can get them is from hex tech crafting, which is hard as heck to get the one item you want. Say you want a skin for a champ you main. You can either hope to get a skin from crafting or purchase RP to get that skin yourself.

and you can buy champs with RP ... you dont need everything for free. the fact that riot gives away so much for free as it is... no one should bitch

''we will keep releasing 3150 IP champions and will never constantly releade 6300 IP champions'' ah how 2009 was a good time, now we're all the way up to 7800 from 3150

Over double the IP cost. Ahhh. I love my small champion pool. But more importantly, I love my one-sided rune page. Just got filled a whole rune page and cost about 10K IP. Went from 55,000 to 43,000ish IP. And I still need more for my other types of champions. Got AP runes and now I need Tank runes. That won't happen for a long while.

When did you start?

I play ARAMs and they dish out well enough. It's an inverse proportion, because as soon as you start getting the 6300s you want, you dwindle to 4800s (most of whom suck IMO anyway) and then to 3150s.

The more champions you get, the more you have to do between buys. The better you get, the more builds you try. The more you try, the more kinds of champions you buy.

This is literally a definitive case of 'the journey, not the destination.' It's an ingenious system and changing it up would be unfortunate.

On another note, try Heroes of the Storm or Smite. Their buy costs are absolutely preposterous.

That is the only content this game has. You can easily farm just about every champ, and full rune pages just by playing a few games here and there. Speaking from experience.
