Can we get 1 refund credit at the start of every season?

Sol Sentinel·Oct 24, 2014·120 votes·7,956 views

We all know this, when we first started playing LoL and we made our accounts, we got 3 refund credits of course. BUT, there was no where that stated how to use them efficiently. A lot of us used them at lower levels on now IP champions, not realizing that no one ever told us how to use them in the best ways considering what we value. Can a guide be made for newer players to tell them what is and isn't recommended.

Also, on top of that, can players that have been playing for a certain amount of time (If you've been playing for X amount of time, you get 3 new refund tokens, and 1 refund token at the beginning of every season.)? It's 3 new tokens (This would only happen once.) and only 1 new token every season.

Plus, people aren't refunding to keep their RP, they're doing it in case a champion gets changed in a way that they don't agree with, or they don't play a certain champion anymore and they want a new skin. Ex: The Harrowing skin(s)

I think an interesting idea would be to simply have refunds reset at the beginning of every season, both in number of refund credits and in what can be refunded. You bought something last season, tough. You buy something you don't like this season, sure, have it refunded.

I didn't even know I had refund credits. How do I use them?

Lunar RaineOct 25, 20141 votes

Go to the shop>Purchases Tab and they should list all the things you bought IP/RP. Click on the far right button to use your refund points.

There in your purchases section in the store. It tells you what you bought and when. You'll see a button that says refund if you can refund it.

Back when i started there where no refunds of any kind so be happy with what you had and stop asking for more.

Qube132Nov 25, 20142 votes

One can be happy with what he has and still ask for more. Why not be even happier? :)

Refunds are for pansies, seriously. LOL, refund credits, riot used to laugh at you, now they GIVE You three free refunds and you want more, always more more more more, I need fucking more. Good luck with your campaign moron. You want three 'new' refunds start a new account!!!!

GoldenLeSpoinkOct 25, 20145 votes

Wow... someone who played since S2 or possibly even more Bming others.... that is the reason the League of Legends Community is terrible. For People like you, that think your opinions are the valid ones while calling others "morons".
Check yourself before you say rude things.

i think it would be good if the credits you get only worked for purchases of that season. and at the start of the new season you get 1 new credit, max 3.

Evil MarshmelowOct 25, 20141 votes

i wasted a credit on alistar and skarner. before i even hit level 30. :D last credit i used was for dunkmaster darius. wasnt a fan of the skin after i bought it.

We get more refunds based off honor.

We get unlimited refunds but it will only return 75% of what you spent or less.

googlemasterOct 25, 20141 votes

if anything it should be milestones based on account age without getting banned. incentive to not get banned, one of the few if not only reward they would have based on account age.

giving everyone refunds like that is way too much profit loss.

RelentlessGritOct 25, 20141 votes

I think this would be an excellent idea, or maybe it can be something that is earned like aaram rerolls? A progress bar that fills as you play?

that feeling when you can't refund Urgot (bought pre-nerf) so you hope they do his rework right

edit: on another note; what am i supposed to do with 108 RP? i don't even know what i bought

PikaliciousOct 14, 20151 votes

Urgod you mean. YOu just gotta learn to play him right. Totally underrated.

MistyKissOct 25, 20141 votes

I accidently refunded an akali skin (tabbed out at Y/N) and tabbing back in clicked yes for me. I emailed riot and they said they couldn't help. So i emailed them again and guess what. Copy pasted email reply. Thanks Rito.

XetelianOct 26, 20141 votes

We need something beyond the first 3...some of us like myself own every champion with IP and full rune pages with IP and only use RP on skins and sometimes we need to refund something for multiple reasons and I just can't imagine a company saying you get 3 per lifetime.

I've been here since 2009...cut me a break

possible like every 100 games (more, less?) you get another refund credit.

PikaliciousOct 14, 20151 votes

I agree with every new season. Every one hundred games and Riot would be losing out on new income. People would just bash in a hundred games, refund something expensive, then use it to get something new.

tzxxTjM8FAOct 26, 20141 votes

Although that is a great idea, a lot of you seem to have forgotten what the refund tokens are.

Originally, we got 0. You buy what you buy, no exceptions. No refunds, no takesies-backsies.

We were blessed with these three tokens. People asking for these extremely easy ways to obtain tokens

i.e "possible like every 100 games (more, less?) you get another refund credit." etc etc

are asking a bit too much. One token every season? Sounds reasonable. You get 1 refund per year, on top of the original 3. Something Riot could consider with ease. Other than that, these simple ways of getting RP/IP back? Come on guys. I know you can do better than that.

PikaliciousOct 14, 20151 votes

"Originally, we got 0. You buy what you buy, no exceptions. No refunds, no takesies-backsies. "

The thing is:

1 we are entitled Americans 2 Riot is a company run by entitled Americans therefor they empathize with our logic

...So they would never prevent refunds.

Blessed? What we should be doing is taking these credits for granted. The credits should be accessible whenever and where ever. We are consumers. It's the same as walking out of a movie at the theatre. Regardless of whether it was the audience that was to0 loud, the sound quality/picture was garbage, or just the movie in general was bad.

Admittedly I'm not from season 1 so I don't even know if you're lying or not about have 0 refund credits at some point in time.

We are American, this nation was built on the right to judge merchandise. We deserve refund credits, especially after having played the game for entire seasons through...hey why not throw a dog a bone Riot.

I think this is a great idea. I always thought you got 3 new refund creds every month, so I wasted mine on ryze, fiddle and zilean. But also they could add like you can only have a maximum of 5 or something refund creds so people can't farm them.
