Season Champion Packs: Pre-purchase all champions and release skins for that year

An idea for buying all champions was brought up before, and given the crazy high cost that must be, I came to the alternative of having packs sold for what would be released that season only.

  • At the beginning of the year, Riot would unlock the Seasonal Champion Pack
  • The pack will pre-purchase all champions released that year
  • Will include the release skin for the champion
  • Price will be "Placeholder price" RP for an expected 4 champions
  • Difference will be refunded for fewer releases, +Mystery Skin
  • No change in price for more releases
  • Includes any release associated icons (ex. Wolf and Lamb icons)

Player benefits:

  • Basically getting the champions free by pre-purchasing the skins
  • Price protection guarantee
  • Includes any bonus content

Riot benefits:

  • Spike in sales for the new year (or last quarter of fiscal year?)
  • Player retention due to pre-purchased content

Whatever, I'm bored. I wouldn't even pre-purchase skins because I don't always like them. Got any better ideas for yearly bundles?

Please down rank this. Season passes are terrible for consumers. You're paying for unknown content with no recourse to recoup funds if the scheduled content isn't released. Worst case, you're buying an unknown product.

This is a terrible idea that Ubisoft, EA and Activision all failed with on consoles.

Pretty good idea. Its just like DLC's season packs for COD and Destiny. Maybe Riot can modify it to their liking because its a little on sided on our part and you know how they love $$$

I've always thought a "Membership" type of thing would be good - up voted ;)

3,000 RP for 4 (975 RP) champs and 4 (975-13500 RP) skins....Dream on kid.

"Includes any release associated icons (ex. Wolf and Lamb icons)" LMFAO

I despise schemes that artificially increase player retention. Would much rather see Riot improve player retention by continuing to improve an amazing game.

4 champs at considering 975 rp would be 3,900 rp value. Then you want to add the skins and only pay 3k? LOL

I would agree with this except that a lot of champions haven't gotten skins in a while. Others aren't even worth playing that get skins.
