There needs to be more things to spend IP on

Ugh, it finally happened. I finally got all the champs I want and enough runes. Sure there are a few things more I could get, but I don't need to. I've got 3-4 champs that I like for all the lanes I play and one or two for top. I could get more runes, but I'd need rune pages and they aren't having a 2 for 1 sale right now.

Here's the worst part about not having a need to spend IP: it kills one of the motivations I had to play for awhile. I mean why log in for your first win of the day if you don't need the carrot riot is dangling in front of you? Then I started playing a few other games and didn't play LOL at all for a bit. I'm trying to work LOL in back into my game rotation but it's a case of I've got nothing I need to get in game and no sense of urgency for playing ranked again because the soft reset nullified my progress I made towards the end and I hate grinding gaming hoping I don't get an AFK when I finally get to my promos (which always seems to happen).

If I wanted to grind back everything I lost, I'd be playing bloodborne (which I got recently and I quite enjoy it so far). Because unlike toxic teammates, bloodborne treats you fairly and is a lot less stressful to deal with once you learn a bit of healthy paranoia. It also has nice jump scares and I'm not a fan of the horror genre. I could totally see a bloodborne themed skin for GP (no I don't have him).

While Riot has mentioned in the past that their current "end game" status is a little bit of a brick wall, they haven't said anything to indicate that they are currently focusing on adjustments to that. Plenty of ideas have been pitched and seen by Rioters, but indeed it seems like the community is forced to make their own reason to continue once they obtain everything the in-game credits will let you get.

Progression is an easy way to give people incentive and reason to continue playing, but what would you suggest as a way to make an ip sink?

Since you've mentioned how ranked isn't going to be a priority for you, there's always the mode specific medals on each player's profile that you could grind up to diamond. Then there's the champion mastery system where you could get as many champs to max level as you can. But yeah as far as current "goals" people can set, it's mostly these grindy two, rune buyout, and ranked progress.
