Donate ip?

Once you have all the champions you know you want, you start to really accumulate ip. Some people have 50k+ ip and nothing to use it on. Why not let us donate ip to other summoners? I have a few friends I play with and they aren't has hardcore a player as me, they play maybe like 2 times a day. I would love to donate some of my ip to them so they can actually play who they want without having to have 10000+ hours of league under their belt. Please riot!

As nice as it would be for players it makes no sense from a business perspective. A lot of players do buy champions and rune pages with RP so giving them these items removes a good amount of incentive to buy RP.

Unfortunately, I can't support this, as it would give players just that much more incentive to use smurfs or bots, then donate their easily earned ip to their main account.

this would especially benefit new players. like if you're getting a friend into this (god knows why), you could at the very least help them get into the game with a few select champs. having a bit of ip help from friends would be a nice start.

It would hurt riots sales income. It makes no sense to do it.

Use it to buy more rune pages and customize them to all ur champs..... that would deffinantly eat through them quickly.

There needs to be a system for this. Donating ip would be great for most.

I see this as a GREAT idea, i have MULTIPLE friends like this. Seeing as how it would hurt Rito's precious income, i thought up a few rules.

  1. Only a maximum of 1k-2k IP can be donated at one time

  2. Players can only receive an IP gift one every month or so.

  3. The IP can be refunded by the donor after being gifted. If the person who received the IP has made a purchase with the gifted amount (I.E. Runes or a Champ with cost below the donated amount), only the amount left after the purchase can be refunded. This way, someone who accidentally donated can easily retrieve their IP, or re-claim it to make a purchase of their own.

  4. During the process of step 3, the donation timer will be reset, but if IP was spent before the retrieval, the next donation to the original donator can be gifted slightly earlier (1-2 days or so), and for a slightly larger amount (the original donation limit, plus the amount the donatee spent before IP was re-taken). This way, the system can be adjusted for people to help their friends aquire new Runes or save up for new Champs, without being able to find a shortcut for duplicating IP.

  5. IP that was gifted will fall under a different collection category that IP that you have earned yourself. Items that you want to purchase with FIP (My new anagram for Friend's IP) will cost a slightly larger amount than IP you have earned, that way it is not entirely getting everything from friends alone. Example: Riven , a champion that costs 4800 IP, will cost 5300 FIP, and a Rune that costs 205 IP will cost 505 FIP. I tried to give +500 FIP to Champ purchases and +300 FIP to Rune purchases, so that i could try to make it a bit even and not as easy for players to farm off of everything with FIP.

If i had made any flaws in the system, please let me know. I tried to design this system for convenience to all players, while trying to block out any shortcuts to duplicating IP and redeeming FIP for everything at the same price. This system was MADE for equality, both to players and to Riot, and on a slight system of trust and honesty (something we need more of in the toxicity of this community).

Again, if you guys see possible corrections to keep everything in check, PLEASE comment and let me know.

!ALTERNATIVE!

Borrowing IP.

  1. Limitations A. You may only borrow IP from one person at a time B. You may only lend IP to one person at a time C. You may only lend IP to people with less IP than you D. You may only lend/borrow from other players 3 times a month E. The amount would be capped, either flat or based on a % of your current IP

  2. Offer & Repayment A. The Lender offers an amount of IP to the borrower B. The borrower must accept the IP C. The borrower owes the full sum of IP to the Lender D. The borrower owes a percentage of the lent IP to riot as a transaction fee/tax E. A percentage of IP gains from a borrower go to paying back the debt and tax F. IP to pay the player is stored in a pool visible to the borrower G. The IP is sent to the lender when logging out, at server shutdowns or at a specified time in the morning H. The tax IP is taken as it is gained until the tax is paid. I. If you are gone long enough, like a few weeks, the IP owed will be taken from your current IP even putting you negative

Numbers such as lending cap, number of times you can borrow/lend, the % taken from your IP gains are all adjustable but i think this is much more favorable than just GIVING IP to people. Mainly because giving IP sinks IP out of someone that may have everything. However, lending IP with IP tax on the person borrowing sinks IP out of people still getting stuff while letting them maybe get one thing they really want faster overall.
