RP/Store related

Ok, so I don't really have any complaints about many things league does which includes things like; Champion nerfs/buffs, design reworks, new items, and anything regarding the game itself and the client, but I really feel like something should be changed. The way you get things bought with RP. In League of Legends it is sometimes hard to get skins, champions, runes, and other items bought with RP, and over all it is a decent system, but there are things that could make it so much better. Other games have different ways to buy things that usually cost any real money to buy, examples: Smite gives you a small amount of currency when you log in every day. The amount of currency they give for logging in is no where near a large amount, so if League were to implement this idea it would be a good idea to give something like 50 RP or so for logging in everyday. This tactic also helps make people want to keep playing and logging in because they get a small reward. Another example is for Dota (I can't remember if it's 1 or 2, probably 2 but whatever) they have things like an in-game trade system, where you can trade skins and such instead of having to just buy straight from the store. This concept is amazing since it provides more communication between players, rather than just a few words being thrown around in champion select and in game. This system could also provide a way to make getting skins more interesting, since it makes you work a bit for it since you could either trade the skin the person asks in the trade, or try to make out a new deal with skins you have that you have had for a long time and just don't use anymore. There are plenty of people who have skins that they don't use anymore, and would like a way to get rid of them, same could go for other items bought with RP, and this system would provide a good way for skins to circulate throughout league. If i'm not mistaken Dota also has a player run store, don't quote me on this, which means players can also put things bought with real money on the store for them to get more money to buy things in either the game run store or player run one. This system seems to have the highest cons in my mind, since it could potentially reduce the over all earnings Riot gets through the League store, but there are also systems to implement to solve that issue, like maybe you need to pay a certain amount of real money, in our case RP, to put the item on the store and that way league could still make a profit like that. I'm sure the people at Riot could also figure out something else to fix the cons of a player run store, this is just my idea and my opinion. Another idea for the player run store would be to do what Steam does and take a small amount off of whatever is sold, so both Riot and the players can be happy with the selling process, just don't make the amount Riot takes off a large amount because that would defeat the purpose. Another idea would be to give players either unlimited refunds, or restricted refunds. It annoys me to no end that we only get three refunds for your account. Having unlimited would make people slightly less cautious about buying things since they know they could basically undo it if things go wrong for them. Certain people have said that this idea would lead to people buying champions and refunding them when they got bored of them so they could keep getting champions with no effort. This problem seems so insignificant because it isn't really efficient for what this game is about, I could see a few people doing this but over all it wouldn't really purpose a problem in the long run. Now, about the limited refunds, this just means that players can refund the three free times, and then have to pay a small fee for refunding after that, and this way riot could still make an over all profit because they would get the fee from refunds, and the money from the items purchased with RP since not everyone really wants to refund certain things. An example would be me, a long time ago I bought a champion with RP and I had no refunds left, I wanted to use that RP for something I wanted instead of the champion since the champion wasn't what I expected. Since one of my over all goals in league is to get all the champions I would buy the champion back later with IP rather than RP. This could just be seen as stupidity and it was totally my fault for not doing research on the champ, but you get what i'm trying to say. All of the ideas that I have purposed have their own flaws, I just think that at least one of them would make purchasing items in league much easier, and more enjoyable for the players for certain situations. This topic feels very important to me and I just wanted to let the community see my opinions and see what they think, as well as Riot, hopefully, and see if they agree with me or implement my ideas.
