Rito, please do something about IP earnings.
I know, I know, I've heard it already, "it's so that people will continue to play longer" but for someone like me, that is not going to cut it.
The average IP gained from a match is 75 IP (not counting the 150 daily bonus)
So imagine if all the champions were to cost 450 IP. And we'll even throw in the 122nd champion just for kicks. That in total is 54900 IP you must earn. Now dividing that by the average amount each game would come to you needing 732 games played just to get them all.
But lets not end there. Lets see the grand total. 12: 450 Ip (5400) , 21: 1350 Ip (28350) , 24: 3150 (75600) , 33: 4800 Ip (158400) , 32: 6300 Ip (201600) = 496350 IP in total Divide that by the average and that's 6250 games you need to play to get all the champions.
Oh, but what about the daily bonus? Well, lets see. That's still 2086 games needed. When played once a day which would take over 5 years.
So if I played 4 times a day, that would be 300 IP a day. And then that would make it so that it would take a little over 4 years.
Riot, how about if we make it to 30 minutes of a game, we get the dumb 150 IP. Not when we get to 70 minutes please.
How long would it take at 150? It's still 3309 games but that's way better than 6250. And with the bonus that would be 1655 games. So if played daily, that would take over 4 years but its still better. Not including the fact that you can play half of this away.
And if I played this 4 times a day, that would be a total of 600 IP daily. So that means it would take me a little over 2 years to do this. Now lets include the bonus to be fair. That means it would take a little less than 2 years to finish.
But that's with daily play. And with more than 1 play a day. And its still crazy with also new champions coming out soon. It only adds to the amount. Price reductions aren't doing well. We right now only have 12 450 champs and over 20 6300 champs.
Now, these IP boost are fantastic. And they don't need anything done with them but why get an IP boost when you can just get RP?
This is mean to us players who can't get that stuff or don't think it as needed as food or gas.
People who already have too much RP shouldn't be cared about unless you actually bring in a way to use IP again because obviously over priced champions and runes aren't cutting it.
Ok, this may sound stupid but tokens sound like fun to me. Make a slot machine for tokens. Tokens cost differently based on how much they are. It ranges from 3150 to 6300 IP for each token. Each Token can be spent on a lottery machine as a in-game mini-game. You can earn more Token's, IP boosts, and RP (because lets face it Riot, compare yourselves to other companies and you are Ebenezer Scrooge of gaming companies; you make us see these skins that really have no value whatsoever and expect us to think it right that we must pay for these things with actual money, when I think of this it makes me think of kids with no money looking into a toy store window with grim faces). These Slot Machines can also be used for special events.
