Riot, you and I both know you overprice.

I am an avid league player - who has spent over $200 on this game. I have a decent experience with buying things from the LoL store, and I can say this - prices are overpriced. Some may disagree with me - however think about it. You spend about TEN DOLLARS on a skin. TEN DOLLARS.

You pay about 20$ for an Ultimate Skin, which is still quite alot - and is ridiculous. You are paying, 20$ - which is about two hours of working if you were to work at McDonalds.

Ive bought over 14400 RP in ONE SITTING, and I was able to spend it all, in less then 4 minutes (3 minutes and 32 seconds) I was only able to buy, two champions - a legendary skin, and over 8 skins. Sure - you may be thinking, THAT'S A GREAT DEAL! However, realize that is about a DAY of working at McDonalds. If you were to play another game, and spend $100, you'd be destroying and it'd be entirely worth it. If you spent 100$ on Dota 2, you'd get a MUCH better deal. However - I am not hating on LoL, they have a great game

I feel like you guys rip us off - a chroma pack is 590 RP, which is just a RECOLOR, that you can easily go into the files of LoL and use Paint and use the bucket and change colors. (It's actually been done. I understand you put sales ALL THE TIME, however - it's only by 50%, and you PURPOSELY make it, that skins that are expensive are NEVER ON SALE - that sometimes aren't even worth it. Like Pulsefire Ezreal, before he was GREAT. However - compared to today's standards, he could be mistakened as a 590 RP skin.

A skin should ACTUALLY reflect what it's worth. Skins like Firecracker Jinx should be at 975 RP instead of 1350, and legendary skins should be 1350, and Ultimate Skins should be 2985. Chromapacks should be 290 RP, it takes you guys NO MORE then an hour to do a reskin. I understand you need to make money - however, we are in the millions. Almost every 10 seconds, there is someone who bought something that is about 10$. You guys are sitting on a pile of cash - and sure, you guys ARE working GREAT, but I feel like skins are a ripoff.

We need cheaper prices. You spend 10$ for a skin, for ONE CHAMPION. Fun fact - it'd take about $10,000 to get EVERY SKIN/CHAMPION in the game. That means, someone who worked at McDonalds, making around 16$ per hour, would have to work 625 HOURS OF THEIR LIFE, or 26 DAYS STRAIGHT to get to that amount

I really like your game, Riot, but you gotta understand. You have to lower prices. Lots of us can NOT wait for sales - and therefore, it is so annoying to wait for a sale to get your champion, which will come next month. Another solution is make BIGGER SALES - for 5 skins and champions. That would make it easier to get what champion you want for a cheaper price.

So the solution is to go work at burgerking or wendys and then the prices wont be so overpriced

I feel the prices are fine and kind of make sense. Though I wish for reduce price, but I understand that they don't. I rarely bought champions for RP, I felt that was just not worth it. When I started out, I basically bought most of the champion bundles since I felt that was a good deal. I think I bought like 2 of the bundles and with both of them I was over like 50 champions or so I forgot. I might of bought like...maybe 5 or 6 champions with RP but that is within like almost 3 years of playing league. After I bought the bundles, I basically just used IP to buy the rest of the champions or waited until they were on sale.

I've had all the champions for about a year (maybe year and a half) + all 20 rune pages. Though they're are still some of the runes I'm still missing...but those are runes that I wouldn't use and would only buy them for the feeling of "having them" etc.

Though I really wish they would add some more things to do with your IP though. Right now I have about 10k IP (I have friends that have close to 40k IP) and we have nothing to use it on. Basically its there to buy the useless runes, or wait until a new champion comes out. I feel some thing should come out some time to make use of IP.

I'd like to buy Gatekeeper Galio, but I find it more expensive than I think it's worth for a champion I hardly play. So, I don't buy it, at least while it's not on sale. Problem solved.

Working at mcdonalds in lithuania pays minimum. Minimum wage is 300euro/month, or about 334$. You just spent 10 days work at mcdonalds on a game.

silly, buying RP in bulk gives you a discount. XD So essentially, a Legendary skin like Omega Squad Teemo is only worth roughly $14. Unless you bought RP $5 at a time. They also never force you to buy a skin, either.
