About Refund Tokens...

I wanted to discuss the Refund Tokens in the store. I understand that refund tokens would be broken if they were unlimited in quantity, but I would want to know why we don't have the option to buy more, either with RP or a healthy sum of IP. I feel that just having three puts pressure on the person buying champions, because if he buys a champion he ends up not liking, then he just wasted 4800 or 6300 IP, or however much RP.

Now, I know if given the chance, you could make the price seem insignificant by just having 6300 IP, and shuffling with under priced tokens, but why not make the tokens expensive to the point where you wouldn't want to waste them, but available enough to be able to be in reasonable buying range to refund a 4800 IP Trundle that you didn't find to be satisfactory.

My recommended price range would be either 200 RP or 2000-3000 IP.

If there is another reason why they limit refund tokens, please let me know.

That's an interesting idea, I've always felt that they should give you 1 extra refund per year... but... buying them would be an interesting idea.

How bout as incentive for not leaving games consistently for an extended period of time, you should get tokens as a reward. OF course it should be a good sum of games so it's not so easy to just acquire a ton of them in like a week. Perhaps even capping the number of tokens you can have at a given time to like 2-3 tokens?

I had a post just like this in my browser so I could refresh it and see the replies, but there's a notice that it got deleted. Am I going crazy.

I've never felt like I needed more refunds. I've always thought if they were going to add more refunds it should be for certain amounts of RP spent like for every 50 dollars in RP you buy you get 1 token. Someone a while back came up with the idea to allow people to sort of upgrade skins which I loved. You would be able to trade in a skin for a given champ for half off of a different skin for the same champ. Its pretty common for me to decide not to buy a new skin that comes out because I already own a skin for that champ and even though I like the new one more, its not worth discarding first one I bought in most cases. Allowing people to buy refunds for a few hundred rp would let people do that. 200 would probably be too low though.

I also think if you give a way to get more refunds from RP then they probably also need to make legendary/ultimate skins either nonrefundable or cost more than 1 token to refund.

My recommended price range would be either 200 RP or 2000-3000 IP.

If you're going in that direction you might as well just let people refund items for, say, 50% of their purchase price if they've already used their 3 free refunds.

So you are wasting RP to get RP?
