QoL Suggestion for Normals

Enable all champions in normal game modes (draft, blind, aram, and the likes). & Only allow champions you have purchased via IP/RP on ranked.

Want champion diversity? We can't have that if people are only willing to spend their hard earned IP on OP champions because IP gains are absurdly minimal on top of having to purchase runes in order to have a fighting chance in lane.

By enabling all champions in normal game modes you give us the opportunity to test out any champion we want before we consider buying it instead of waiting for some handful of random champions per week.

Or you could give all the players access to PBE you stinges.

As far as I know they're thinking about doing this for ARAM but that's it.

Doing it for Normals wouldn't actually be that great either. If you think IP gains are minimal try playing HoTS where each game only gets you about 10 gold and champions can cost up to 10,000 gold. The free week champions are there to introduce new players to a handful of champions at a time.

I know if I was knew the League and starting a game I was given 125+ champions I'd be overwhelmed and would have no idea who to pick at all. It also makes the new player experience easier because for awhile they're likely to only see the free champions in games. So they have a week to get used to playing and facing 10 champions before getting 10 more to learn. It ensures that new players can learn the champions without having to just sit down and study each and every one of them and their 5 abilities (sometimes more).

I can see them doing this on special game modes perhaps, but no this makes no sense. No one would want to play ranked/earn champions. Besides people buy rp for champions too, so it'd be asking a homeless man to give away his tin cup.
