Champ Rentals

I was think that instead of having to buy every champ, maybe riot could also do some kind of rental system. You could spend riot some points to unlock all the champs for, lets say, 1 week. At the end of the week, you would go back to having the champs you had before (not including free champs) .This might be good for new players, as they would be able to find out who they want to main or for testing out basic game mechanics. In addition to this, Riot could have their current system. They could put this under bundles in the store. Just a thought.

Edit: For those of you who think, "free week": Not really because you get to pick the champions to play. See this quote below for evidence. ScienceHeimerdinger

Yes this is what free weeks are for, but the free rotation is completely unreliable, some champions are in the rotation a lot more often than other, for example for the time it took for Aatrox to be in the rotation twice, Zilean was in it 5 times. So yeah you can sit and wait 20 weeks for Aatrox to go into rotation, or they could implement a mechanic for players to try a champion out without going in completely blind.

I think that a week for ALL of the champs is a bit insane and rather useless. I think it'd be much more useful and effective if you could rent a single champ for say 24-48 hours. The RP cost should be scaled with the cost of the champ, I think 30% is a good number, its still saving you RP if you don't like the champ while still letting Riot profit from the service. So respectively the tiers of champs would cost: 260 - 78 585 - 175 790 - 237 880 - 264 975 - 292

Yeah. Maybe you could have them sorted by role. So you could unlock all supports or all marksman for instance. That might be cool
