Please give a reward to the MVPs

If you've spent lots of money or time on this game since it has been released then you might be at the stage where you play a game don't even care about the IP you're rewarded because it's stacking in the tens/hundreds of thousands or even higher. You buy new champs for a ludicrous price and are not even bothered that in a week it would be cheaper. You also probably own twenty rune pages and all the runes in the game but it's probably a hindrance to you creating a new page due to the clutter. This is the position I am In.

When I play with my casual friends who haven't played much, after most probably carrying them to victory in one way or another and hearing them say "Great job mate nicely done...oh I need two more wins to buy a new champ" I usually have a few thoughts. Why am I not being rewarded, my friends don't even bother honouring me these days. I am the player who's been giving money and time to be a good player but there's almost nothing to keep me playing normal games with my friends. I just do ranked now because it's the only mode which can yield some kind of reward for my time.

I've heard many suggestions that could relieve the situation for people like us. Making an option where we can buy/rent a skin/champion for one game, for yourself or a friend. Allowing us to use IP to buy a Reroll in ARAM. Maybe even something ridiculous like using IP to buy skins for your turrets, minions or neutral monsters etc. It might take some brainstorming to figure something out but I really wish something was done.

I just believe that the people who have shown so much dedication to the game to legitimately not have anything left to buy other than a name change or transfer should be given as an incentive to not go and play something else.

Yours faithfully

I find playing with my friends is reward enough. Games are for fun, not rewards (at least to me). The time spent gaming with my friends is precious, and i don't feel i would need more than just that.

So what if you have no friends? What if you do and they're not online? Anyway friends are beside the point. At least the normal games IP can give casual gamers an incentive to win because it awards them more IP. But if you have more than enough IP and you're feeding an getting flamed you've probably got more incentive to just go AFK unless you're afraid of being reported.

You could always start a new account if you enjoy unlocking new things.

Honestly i think skins should have a rediculous IP Price, (Like in the 30,000's), or maybe just the ward skins should atleast. I know skins are riots income, but i think a high price on them with IP would just be fair for those who can't actually afford to pay for skins, but really enjoy playing the game.

I honestly stopped caring about earning IP awhile ago.. and i don't even have everything unlocked. None of the 10 champions left to unlock interest me what so-ever, most of my IP goes to the ever-changing metas runes, and 8 rune pages seems to actually be more than plenty to deal with most all situations in ranked with the champions i play.

I lolking'd you out of curiousity, and don't take any of this the wrong way. If you've been playing since release, own all champions, rune pages, runes etc. Maybe the reward you should be looking for out of games is knowledge of the game itself.

I've played probably half the games you have, or maybe even less than that, and have achieved a higher soloq rank, (Again don't take this as boasting...) I also enjoy playing with friends, and i honestly can't stand arams or normals by myself, so i kind of just piddle threw ranked while i wait for friends to get on. Maybe try changing your outlook on what you're actually getting from the games you play. It doesn't matter how long you've played if you don't learn from the time you've invested into something. Knowledge is a reward that is invaluable in anything you do, so try expanding your knowledge of the game, and then maybe it will become fun for you again as you can see others aspects that maybe you didn't see before ^^.

I support your original agreement though, i would like to see more options added to the IP Store!

It might take some brainstorming to figure something out but I really wish something was done.

I think you ought to have something that denotes the longevity of your patronage, maybe a special ward skin for x years. As far as using your accumulated ip, maybe you could buy a discounted price on a skin or a trip into the vault, it would be hefty in ip I'm sure. Renting the skin or champ for one day for yourself or a friend is actually a good idea but again it would probably need to be pretty expensive to drain your ip storehouse. I don't think that they'll go for a reroll as that would give you a sort of bought advantage in game. Buying discounts on new champs or skins or wards...that still has you investing some but not as much as newer players, its a perk. ??

It does come across as you might be a bit bored and need to branch out into teaching or creating a community or something of that nature. Some sort of leadership position or collaboration.
