Ive been playing league since season three. I used my refunds thinking we got 3 each season... i could easily play more games to win the IP for the champ i do want but it is abit of a hastle having those champs you just dont use that you would want to trade for another.

I remember when I first bought Yorick and saw him in-game, I immediately looked up "how to refund" and subsequently did...

1 per season riot. That's all we want.

Well maybe 3 per season, but they don't need to carry over.

Can you imagine if other businesses only allowed 3 refunds per person per lifetime

Like Wal-Mart or Best Buy

It would be fucking stupid.

Plus Wal-Mart and Best Buy don't get to nerf the items you buy after you have taken them home.

I agree that we should get at least 1 refund per season. It's the least Riot could do since we put up with all the toxic and unbalance in the game.

"The least Riot could do..." Are you kidding me?

I agree another refund would be nice. But your statement is trash! You don't even have to pay for LoL it's a free game!

Lugg1 votes

Do you have ANY idea how much money Riot makes off LoL?

You have to pay for skins and (if you want them when released) champions with real money. What if they do a visual update or rework you don't like? Plenty of people have paid LOTS of money.

Hello I am Bird1 votes

Well, you can buy champions will Ip... And skins don't in any way effect gameplay... Your choice m8, not Riot's.

Dracoliat1 votes

I know how that is, I've spent quite a bit on LoL myself. But if you make a purchase with real money, and already spent your 3 FREE refunds then tough luck. Also if you really want a refund on a champion that was really reworked, like sion, I'm sure you can put in a ticket. I have before and even after my 3 refunds, they gave me a refund for the champion. And all new champions are ALWAYS available for Ip. Save up your IP bro. Riot doesn't owe you anything.

Lugg1 votes

You do know that Riot never actually refunds your money right? Once they have it, it's theirs. All the refund would do is give you RP points (or IP if you are an idiot). So Riot doesn't really lose any money doing this.

Dracoliat1 votes

I'm very well aware. But guess what? You CHOSE to buy the RP. You CHOSE to spend real money on virtual goods of your own free will. And if you do not want to put in the work, or play enough to get it for free then, ya you can spend real money. But everything but a few skins are free. nothing that really impacts the game costs real money unless you want to pay for it yourself.

I'd rather refund the skin for Nidalee that was purchased before her rework into a champion that I cannot STAND playing. But they won't go that far back and I'll continue to feel absolutely cheated.

That said- I'm working on owning all the champions for trading purposes in ranked/draft mode. I wouldn't refund a champion for IP.

Have had this happen a few times and I just don't buy skins anymore. Haven't purchased rp for well over a year now. No protesting whiney stuff, just gets annoying.

Find a champ I love playing, buy a skin or two as I'll play them a lot. Suddenly they get nerfed into the ground or changed, then I just won't play them and wasted money.

Fool me once shame on me. Fool me more times than I care to admit after the fact, I'm not giving you the chance to do so again <_<

It's not like refund means actual cash refund either. Still have to spend your rp on something...

My refunds were all spent on 450s when I was a noob in beginning of s3 :(

ohh hey, i refunded a classic yi in IP, what else could we possibly do

i wanted to refund some of the skins, due to visual update, rework, and MISTAKE

SmokedAlmonds3 votes

If anything more refunds should probably be tied to amounts of RP purchased not just given out. They really exist to relieve support from having to fix peoples mistakes, not so people could try stuff out or change their minds later.

lDontLiftIcarry1 votes

i've spent thousands on this game That would be a dumb idea. I'd just refund a shitload of skins. and then have rp i wont use on anything.

I'm not saying it should be a lot, like maybe 1 refund for every 100-200$ in RP purchased. At least this way they are tied to revenue.

Alternatively what Id really like to see is some way to exchange skins for part of their value. Like say I have a wukong skin already and a new one comes out. I could trade in my old wukong skin for say half of its value towards the new one. For me, there's almost 0 chance I will buy a skin if I already have one for that champion because im never going to care about both so to buy a 2nd basically means I spent twice as much to still only have 1 skin that I care about.

ShaftyMegee3 votes

I honestly think Rito should give us AT LEAST one every season. Having only three per account is dumb

Aboylova922 votes

I've been playing since S3 as well, and used I believe one on Cho'gath, and the other with the free RP riot gives you when you first play. I had no idea what I was doing with the game, and doing something like 1 extra refund a year doesn't seem out of this world.

Teynir2 votes

Yes! I used all of my refunds when some of my friends told me that buying champs with RP was a waste after the fact. Thought I'd get more after that season.

Alëk2 votes

At the very least it should come with a tip for new players telling them that its better to save the refunds for later and more important use. I used my refunds on 1350 IP and 450 IP champs so it was essentially useless.

i agree, i wish riot would give more refunds or some back, at the time i was a noob, and refunded like 450 lp champs -_-

I only used one of my refunds, and it was on Singed.

Still don't regret it.

OP asks for only one refund are you fucking kidding me. We sound like a bunch of bitches. We shouldn't be asking we should be demanding. And for god's sake not for just one refund. Fuck man we sound like a bunch of bitches.

I wish there was a way to undo refunds too. I refunded Justicar Aatrox years ago, then bought it again...

I can see them possibly giving out more refunds. I cannot however see them allowing people to undo refunds, that's just poor judgement on the players part

I have 2 refunds left, and I've been playing since fucking closed beta 2009.

If three chances didn't help you learn how to stop impulse buying and wasting money, getting more chances won't help. You just need to lose money until you learn.

The 3 refund system was to free up support staff from having to deal with a billion of "I bought this, now I don't want it!" emails.

Some people used it as a way to "test drive" skins. Some people used it to unlock seasonal promotional summoner icons, which became free once they refunded their purchases. Some people decided to cash in their refunds when their champ got nerfed, or when something better came along.

Whatever the case, Riot didn't care. It was their way of saying "Okay look, we've given you the tools to take care of the returns yourself, and you can do it up to three times". That's a fuck of a lot better than any other micro-transaction game would give you.

Riot made just short of 1 billion fucking dollars in revenue this year with a staff of just barely over 1000. But no, we can't let you pick another skin. It's not even a "refund" it's an exchange. There keeping our money either way what do they give a fuck if we get 3 exchanges a year. It costs them nothing. And bragging about only using 1 out of 3 in 6 years? Well that's got tool written all over it.

I used my first refund on Trist (lol) and then much later used the other two on two 6300 champs I didn't play so I could cash in on the rune sale. Then I bought them again (with IP).

Why people want more than three is beyond me. "I make poor decisions" is something you could stand to work on. ~Uiru

MasterVidallis1 votes

I've spent a lot of money in this game to support it. I find it terrible customer service that after playing for 2 years and buying dozens of skins my life time refunds consist of 3 for when I change my mind and have long been used. Terrible customer service. It's not even a real refund, you keep the money it's just the RP which is technically not worth anything to you after it's sold : / It should be 3 per season option one, or you get more every "X" amount of RP you buy, if you don't want people who spend very little to get that many.
