Loyalty Incentive Program Ideas

º º·Sep 3, 2014·5 votes·840 views

Hey summoners!

I am wanting feedback on ideas you may have for a loyalty incentive program we can present to Riot to create better benefits for us loyal players..
I was thinking tiers of overall spending on an account with perks like extra refunds, ip boosts, or small RP gifts or even a special ward.. Other than that there could also be tiers for number of games played and rewards based accordingly, ie ip boosts, free aram rolls, or even free rune page!

I am not sure if Riot will consider the ideas or not but they definitely should to give more longterm incentive to invest in a game that has been around for quite some time!

Let me know what you guys think..

Can you define what is a loyal player? I'd much rather see good behavior rewarded which would have beneficial <hopefully> repercussions to the whole community. The reason I ask about the meaning of loyal is, I read a thread where someone had been playing long term and had been banned 5 times and refused to spend any money on the game. Is that loyal?

I second focusing on good behaviour rewards as opposed to loyalty program.

As mentioned, do we reward players just for sticking with the game even if they are someone we arguably don't want as part of our community? Should someone that spends hundreds/thousands be given rewards even though they are a dick every game? Someone that gets repeat bans gets rewards because they chose to keep trolling? Doesn't sound like a good thing.

I think a better reward for veterans would be like, after playing 300 games on a champion, it unlocks the option to buy that champion's portrait (splash art of their choice) as a summoner icon or a profile banner themed after that champion.

I'd love an Anivia and Cass icon/banner :0

Incentives for dedication to a champion would be a nice addition. Smite hit that train with the Golden/Ultimate skins perfectly, I think.

I think it needs to be something small but special say a ward skin that only long time players 3 ys plus? can obtain. You can't buy it you only get it from having been a long time player. That's recognition for the player and their history. You could even take that a step further by coding it for yrs of playing, giving everyone a chance at a ward skin that denotes how long they've been playing........but........I really like just the idea of long term players only being able to have one. If you couple that with exemplary behavior, you get a super duper cool ward skin.

To an extent, yes. But mostly, no. There would be a parameter of gone 4 months without a ban or something similar.. myself I am not so concerned with overall number of bans but rather how recent have they been banned..

I like "The more you spend, but more Refund Points you get". I wasted all 3 of my points pretty soon after I started, because a champ I chose had a crazy high skill requirement or I simply had a bad game and thought that champ wasn't for me. I don't see why they shouldn't have some way to give out more refund points; after all, you're going to spend your refunded IP/RP again anyway.

I've always been fond of the idea of getting more refunds, i don't know why it's limited to three. Maybe if we generated one after fifty plus wins? I get they don't want people shuffling around IP and RP to buy new releases without any work, but sometimes i buy things I don't want :(
