Icons have the worst economic value
Every investment in one is faded to failure as soon as a new icon arrives.
Also the marginal value of having one icon is gigantic but the value of having more than one is almost 0.
Getting a new icon kill the value of your previous one and this cycle repeats everytime you receive a new one.
A way to fix that would be to allow us to showcase 3 icons in our profile case in any order we want.
Riot could profit with that by selling new icon slots by rp and giving one extra one as a reward for players that achieve gold or more every year until a max of 10 icons or any other number.
This way you have a lasting value to icons that you are not using right now and a space to showcase in a more interesting way than what we have right now.
This idea would be specially good for people that collected rare icons across the years and people that want to showcase their previous elos.
Just to make clear, I'm trying to help riot out as apparently they are not getting why we are so upset with all the "icon whatever reward" they are doing.
Everytime you "reward" us with only an icon in the actual system you are basically (in practical ways) taking out a previous icon reward we had, so it's basically a very interesting way to punish us for having more than 1 reward that we are tired off and we already got the point.
Thank you for your time. PS:' fuck honor icons
Tldr: slots on your profile that show case more icons can add necessary extra value to icons. Also read the PS
