RP to IP conversion

Pretty straightforward idea. Just a simple in-client converter where you can swap RP for IP only (so Riot doesn't lose money). The conversion rate would be based on the 975 RP/7300 IP tier (6.46 IP per RP ratio, let's round up to 6.5), or if Riot wanted to be super awesome, something like 10-1. This would also be useful for purchasing those high-IP-priced runes.

Example: Say I want to buy a new champion and I have 500 RP and 1000 IP. Let's say I want Sion (1350 IP and 585 RP). Now I just go and convert some RP into IP. So it would take 54 RP (446 RP remaining) to convert into 351 additional IP needed to unlock him.

That sounds like a lot of work, and potential for exploits. Roto isn't known for their good design practices.

I doubt it would take that much work. I've seen a lot of app based games have a feature like this, So I don't see why riot wouldn't be able to easily implement something like this into LOL. It would also be easy to set it up so it can't really be exploited either.

It's called an IP boost. Purchase one and work for the conversion.

Riot doesn't want to just 'not lose money'. they want to make money, so seeing as this is the case 1RP=3IP would be a better conversion rate for them.
