An idea to solve the issue of needing IP and Blue Essence sinks:

Allow blue essence to be converted to RP for a hefty IP cost.

Think a ratio of (at least) 500 IP per 1 Blue Essence.

This will allow players to slowly stock up RP and favor players who have less use for champion shards/blue essence/IP. Additionally, it enables players who only need a little RP for a purchase to get it on their own (which frees up Riot support originally doing it for artwork).

P.S. - No, I don't expect Riot to do this. Additionally, I fully expect whatever solution they come up with for Blue Essence/IP sink will be terrible.

Why would Riot allow players to get RP for free instead of making them spend their money?

Would never happen. Games like these will always result in lots of currency stacking eventually.

probably won't happen because they've shifted entirely to a model where the only customers of interest are

Pro players (they're pro what do they care about currency) People close and trying to be pro (they also don't care about currency) The rest(short term players, average a few games a week, will never reach a currency cap ever)

the days of caring about the long term players have been gone since about the end of season 4, they've went full on Blizzard, and do not understand the repercussions at all because as long as the game chugs along, they make money, and when it dies they'll blame it on aging, and falling out of trend. Or they're delusional enough to think it's like baseball or football where it's here to stay for good no matter what they do.
