Suggestion for IP surplus

So just an idea that popped in my head, as most long term league players seem to have, is an abundance of IP, so what if IP could be transfered to RP in increments of like 10000 IP=100 RP or something along that line? but of course that could only be unlocked after say all Champions were unlocked on an account, and/or all runes were unlocked, as well as being level 30

It would be nice, though Riot is a company who needs to expand and make money. If you were able to transfer Ip into Rp, many players would not buy rp if they are serious players. Therefor anyone with over 2k games played will stop buying RP for skins. This is a poor advancement and decision for a company.

Fantastic for us. Terrible for Riot. Ergo, won't happen.

That's actually a fantastic idea, I would love to see this implemented.

I think finding something to do with this extra ip would be fantastic. I may not have much at the moment, but that is because I am forced to spend it on runes I never use.

Or perhaps you can do a per-game rental of any skin (currently purchasable, no legacy or limited edition). Pay an equal amount of IP for a skin's RP cost to use that skin for 1 game. So If a skin costs 975 RP, pay 975 IP. Or 260 IP for a 260 RP skin. People would be losing IP for every game they did this with, and it is an infinite IP drain.

Of course, you could tweak the numbers. Maybe double IP per RP, as some players have TONS of IP (150,000+ IP)

Let me do some math. Assuming 150,000 IP to start, and assuming ~60 IP per game on average (50 average + win of the days, low balled), and using a 975 IP rental skin every game: you'd get 915 net loss per game on average,, meaning the player would lose all their money in about 160 games. That seems fair to me, what do you guys think?

This would also allow players to effectively "try before you buy". Whether that's a good or bad thing is beyond me.

It would be nice if you could unlock runes/rune pages for a friend. Anything else would have to be cosmetic i think.

The limit would make people cry about it everyday. Not even 1% of the players plays all champions, or owns them for that matter.
