Solution to the rune page refund problem

The rune page shenanigan of not refunding was really a low blow. Here is a suggestion:

First everyone get 20 rune pages for free

Create 20 super unique extra keystones that can be used with the normal keystones and you can buy each by either 6300 ip or 975 rp.

They would be the only content to be bought from the new rune system.

Old players would get 1 for free for each rune page they had before. New players would start with 2 generic but strong ones.

This way we could personalize our champion with 2 keystones instead of just one: one being the normal one and the other one being a super key stone.

This way you don't need to worry about refunding rune pages. People get to play with 2 keystones(what is super amazing), people continue having a full rune page from the start and everyone is happy.

An example of super key stone could be something like "empowered cannon".

"The cannon that spawn from your lane will always have bonus life and damage. You can spawn an additional cannon in any lane once per game"

It's just a suggestion but please give upvotes if you like!

I think the purpose of making runes free is that you can't buy ingame advantages and your suggestion is detrimental to that. I hoped that Riot would just create low effort chroma packs (as in the recolors they introduced in the beginning) as a new IP sink to stabilize the economy.

Well you need to think about It. The way I suggested still is not 100% grind free, but still cost 400.000 less IP for you to get all runes.

Also you will be able to have 20 rune pages for free anyway on this system I described and the value people put on the rune pages would not be lost but transfered to those new runes.

Dumbest thing idea I've ever read. Literally turns this into a pay to win to need to pay and buy these to stay optimized

I had to invest almost 500.000 ip to have all runes and a ton of rp to have all rune pages in the actual system. I think you are failing to see that today's system is the one that is "grind to win". Also you would have full rune pages from the start and would need almost 400.000 less ip to have all the gameplay content of the game.

I think you are just not realizing how bad is the actual system and how much better would be the one I described.
