IP so hard to earn

poiuhgp·Aug 15, 2016·3 votes·1,027 views

75 IP per game, i need to play 84 games to get a 6300 champion. if i play 3 games per day on average plus daily reward. i need 17 days to buy a 6300 champion. i need 570 days to buy all 31 champions that cost 6300 LP. i start to play league since S3 but now i still have 40 champion left. this rate is too slow i cant even play those champion which i dont have. if some champion get a buff and become op but i dont have that champion, then i cant play it in rank. if my friends and i want to try some cool wombo combo but we dont have that specific champion so we cant do it.

i suggest increase the IP reward by at least 50% so we can play the actual game instead of focus on buying the champions i want.

this game should be mainly focus on the game play and skill practicing , not focus on buying champion. like other MMOs which u need to grind to obtain your gears and characters.

Same for me. I play way too long for the amount of things I bought with IP.

well riot dont see that way if you get more ip for free and you can buy X champ for ip then your not spending $$$ for RP to buy X champ. when you win and get your 1st win of the day bonus (which was introduced to get you to log on every day) you can get 200+ IP and you get your win of the day bonus 7 days a week that is 1400 RP for 7 games roughly. if you use a co op vs ai game as a "warm up" game to get your 1st win of the day bonus you can knock that out in about 20 mins get the bonus IP and then proceed to normals/ranks. if you play 3 games a day and get your 1st win of the day bonus say (225ip) + 75+75 is 375 IP a day. if you want you can get an IP boost to earn more IP but that cost you $$$. so you see the underlining issue here dont ya? its $$$ Riot has to make it. but if you get 375 ip a day x 7 days that is 2625 IP a week so for a champ that is 6300 you need 2.4 weeks to do so.

or maybe you should play the game for fun and get ip along the way, rather than thinking of it as a big grind?.......

You forgot first win bonus.... With a win and first win bonus I easily get 250ish ip in one game...play 3 a day and i get around 500 ip. Thus in one week I get around 3500 ip...meaning a 6300 champ every 2 weeks. Play 6 games a day and 6300 in one week. Your math needs a little fixing ;)

even if you get top end range on 1st win of the day bonus say 250 and you average about 75 ip per game and play 3 games that only adds up to 400 ip, the average point for 1st win of the day bonus is right around 225, and if you are referring to my math its pretty on point. but even at 400 ip a day times 7 days thats only 2800 ip not 3500 still about 700 shy.

Except you don't average 75 a game...I usually get 70-80 on a loss, and anywhere from 80-100 on a win. So unless you're playing ARAM or Coop, you should have enough for a 6300 in two weeks.

Depending on which champs you still have to buy, it might be more efficient to buy champion tokens (1700ip) and then re-roll three of them to get a random champ permanent. Best case scenario you'll roll a 6300 champ and it'll only cost you 5100ip.

I has almost all champs (missing about 6... one is Nunu who's really cheap). Only bought a few for RP on sale in the early days. Well, except Ziggs. I saw the Big Bomb come in out of nowhere and said, "I have to play whoever threw that!" I bought him for full RP. Still, I've gotten most of the champs just with IP.

It's not supposed to be fast. Time is money; you can skip the time by paying for champions with RP, or you can grind it out and save your money. It's quite simple.

Took me 3 years to finish buying all champions with IP; not difficult, just time-consuming.
