I don't know if its just me, but I would love to have an option to convert my remaining rp into ip. Having a little rp that can't be used to buy anything kind of irritates me because it essentially all goes to waste. Now, I am not sure how proportionally each rp would convert into ip that would be fair, but I just really hope this option would be added. Anyone else?
Algrimor29 votesHaving a small amount of RP left over is one of the main reasons they use RP and not just a $ cost. It's why you can't buy RP in the amounts that skins/champs typically cost. It's because they want you to have some left and for you to feel like it's wasted to encourage you to buy more. And if you somehow manage to get to zero RP, don't tell anyone because RIOT used to add 1 RP just to be funny, which it is though.
B1naryB0t4 votesThey still do that. If you get 0 RP and 0 IP you'll get 1000 of each as an actual bonus from a Red.
Algrimor3 votesNever heard of 1000, but I've definitely heard of them giving 1. I doubt they'd give 1000, but hey I've been surprised by riot before.

Pay to win? Seriously? Having all champs and runes won't make you more skilled player.

Pay to win in League? You dump fuck. You talk like even unranked lvl 5 can beat challenger if they spend lots of money in league.

Don't worry he thought the title meant RP to LP. It's actually RP to IP, I thought the same thing at first
Shonjl1 votesLol I love the pay to win crap. Pay to win means there is no other option to obtain something other than to pay. If Runes had a RP and IP purchase then its merely Pay for convienence which there is nothing against at all. People that have money can get them faster, big deal? If IP still remained which it would, it would be no different than now. Also runes don't affect much. The average AD rune page gives like 15 more AD, some armor and some mr or AS. that isn't going to make or break anything to the point where if you play poorly you still win.
People need to actually learn what pay to win means before using it. Nowadays people spout that around to the point it lost its real meaning and only to say something is wrong since they don't like it.
I'll give an example of what real pay to win is. An old game I played, Mabinogi had different difficulty dungeons. Problem was you could only reach the levels beyond normal with a thing called rebirthing. you kept your total levels but your current levels got reset so you can get a higher total and therefor tougher, that costed actual money to do. So you wanted to play endgame stuff? You needed total level 500-1k to do it, which required 10+ rebirths, and those things werent cheap either, was like $13 per one. That my friend is actual pay to win.
Scrimshäw8 votesIt already fucking exists. It's called an IP boost

ip boost still requires you to actually play the games though to earn ip, not just instant ip
Gorgannan1 votesUh, yeah.
Angel Violét6 votesThat will make the game more pay 2 win. As of now the only game-changing item are runes which is only purchasable by IP, don't ruin it.
Mongoose3 votesbe consistent with your capitalization
it looks like you are asking for a RP to LP converter instead of RP to IP
Troll for Trump1 votesP2W LoL confirmed. Don't let the reds see this.
Jweldy3 votesThe reason they don't do this is because runes cost IP. If they introduced this people would complain that league was becoming a "pay-to-win" game and riot doesn't want that.
Count Buffon1 votesRanked mostly consists of people who filled at least 2-3 pages with runes, and there isn't much of a return on what you can accomplish with more. So as someone who has only spent RP on vanity content, I would be 100% unaffected by this "pay to win" thingy. By the time you're any good at the game, you can afford all the runes you'll actually use. Champions, on the other hand... I'm still missing a dozen or so, but for some reason that's not "pay to win"? Not that I'm complaining - I don't think it's a legitimate hardship either way, but if it were for one, then it would be for the other.
The fear that RP for runes would break the fairness of the game is unfounded IMO.
Count Buffon1 votes...also, "IP boosts" are just a fancy way of buying IP gradually with a rationing mechanism. It's still just as pay-to-win to "buy" 1000 IP and get it in installments spread over a week as it is to get it right now. Maybe the integrity of accounts is more valued, or something. Like if you get banned, you can't just pay $300 to start right where you left off with an anonymous account with game cards. But someone who's never banned can eventually unlock the same account by playing for a year or so.
Cheese Pope3 votesthat would make lol a pay to win, the only thing you should be able to buy with rp is cosmetics
Crowe Stalker1 votesAnd Champions, because Champions actually take a long time to farm IP for unless you forgot to buy anything the past week and just wake up with 6100 IP one day.
But yea, RP should have Zero Gameplay Impact (except maybe Skintimidation but I don't think that's something Riot should even try reigning in, except fring cases like Underworld 
who they should really just put more time in to make his particles more readable.)
Solumindra1 votesI have 25000+ IP..... :P.
Khadaver2 votesThe reason this isn't in the game is that it would be pay to win due to runes
SoMNia2 votesAs others have mentioned, this would allow players to buy runes with real money and gain an in-game advantage over players who can't afford it, i.e. "pay to win". Not an option. IP boosts already exist, but at least those still require you to play.
ErrantLord2 votesI remembered a post with a use for leftover RP a while back so I went and found it.
moomoomilkUwU2 votesi thought the title said RP to LP and I was like "Why tf does this thread have 37 upvotes?"
But RP to IP would be a good idea, but sadly it definitely won't happen XD
PiRoScOuT1 votesmaybe to buy runes, but that is about all you can buy with Ip only.
LOL Spammer1 votesHow about Ip to rp?
Count Buffon2 votesMake it into the LCS, and you get paid USD, which can be used to by RP.

FlashBash211 votesRito would lose all their big money. And when Rito loses that money, well, God bless.
Shonjl2 votesMeh not entirely. I have seen quite a few games where there was Premium currency trade in for another that anyone can get and vice versa. Just would have to set the right amounts is all. Don't screw the people out trading their RP in but also don't make it too good that trading for IP can be abused to get champs cheaper. It seems that a 1RP>6 IP scale would be nice since that is roughly how the scale is for a 975RP/6300IP champ is. As for the IP>RP value, it would obviously have to be a very high amount else yeah they will lose money. Make that like 10>1 or something. 10k IP? You get 1k RP which is just barely enough to buy a 975 champ or a few random tidbits, that seems fair to me while also not being piss easy to do. Seeing as the cheapest RP items are like 150 boost, that would still take 1500 IP to get, and that is a good amount of games, even if they are wins.
Hell even a 20>1 would be fine, the point being is make it hard but not impossible, but having an option would be nice. Say you wanted to buy a skin or 2 but you are just a few RP short and would rather not or can't spend another 10-20 dollars for the next tier RP purchase. This could solve that. Use IP to get that leftover RP.
Hell even set a cap would limit it. Make it so you can only trade in x amount per day. Nothing too hard to do.
Count Buffon1 votesIP boost, that's all you can get in that direction as far as that goes.
I think the only thing you can't buy with RP is runes, though. Unless I'm forgetting something.
Just sit on your RP and wait for a skin to come out, I guess.
Count Buffon1 votesI think they don't let you insta-buy tons of IP because they don't want a small number of extremely wealthy people using it to dodge bans and lost rune pages. Otherwise, I really wouldn't care about people buying a level 30 with full rune sets and champ pools - anyone can unlock these.
But if money could buy you a get out of jail free card, then a small number of people could dish out as much cruelty as they have dollars to pay for it.
At least, that's the only reason I can think of why you would be able to purchase IP/XP boosts but not IP or XP directly.
Meanie401 votesThrowing out the fact that they want you to buy more, let's show you how bad the conversion would really be if they implemented this.
Let's take, for example, champions, which are purchasable with both IP and RP.
Tahm Kench costs either 6300 IP or 975 RP. Using that as the ratio, you would have a conversion rate of just under 6.5 IP per RP. So take 6 IP per RP, at best. Are you really willing to have your RP multiplied by just 6?
Transgressor1 votesHorrible idea. Keep that leftover RP, they will addup the next time you purchase. They don't go away. But putting a converter automatically turns this game into a pay2win. Having leftover RP is no reason for a whole new feature to be implemented, one that would have a profound neggattive impact at that.
