Will riot be refunding our IP when they switch out the rune system, because a lot of people may not have a lot of the champions and would need the IP they put into the rune system to get the champs instead of having their hard earned IP going down the toilet.
NinjaGuy692 votesThey haven't said how they plan on compensating players who spent IP or RP on the old runes, but they have said that they're working on something. I wouldn't expect to get your IP back if I were you though. That would be a logistical nightmare for Riot to give refunds to millions of players across the world over years and years of transactions.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votesok i get it people cry over IP but dont say it was HARD EARNED when all you did was play the game. good or bad, win or lose. feed or carry you get IP for playing dont matter the game mode
NotSpecialDude1 votesyou gain like 60ish Ip for a lost game and 100ish for a won with 200ish for the victory of the day bonus.
Runes can run up to 10,000 ip. If a game on average is 30 mins how much time would it take to get it if you win only half your games.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo3 votesbut you are gonna play the game regardless... the IP is a by product its not why you played the game

A lot of times i log in just to get my first win of the day in a bot game. It's boring but fast and i do it solely for the IP. It's akin to work (though a cushy white collar job)
oSEXYPLATYPUSo2 votesi just dont get why people think riot owes them anything
any other company changes a price on a product 2 yrs after you bought it... you dont go back and demand a refund
buyer beware as is no warranty
lol
LegendaryLemur1 votesI think it's a reasonable expectation (though certainly not protected in any legal sense) that the things you buy continue to hold value commensurate with whatever else you might have spent it on.
Suppose someone spends all their IP on runes and has zero champions, while another spends all their IP on champions and has no runes. Then runes are eliminated with no compensation (i understand that Riot is considering a method of compensation). Seems a little unfair. Is Riot obligated to make it 'fair'? Of course not. But they can and most often do try to make things fair.
I don't know, it's not that big a deal in any case, but that's how i see it.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 voteswhats funny the skins/champs etc you buy in game with RP (aka real $$$ ) is not owned by you, they are property of riot and riot just lets you use them (aka license ) to you as long as you are in good standing with your agreement of TOS (account)
so that is how when you see people cry over bans and say i spent X amount $ they are to dumb to realize nothing in their account is theirs not even the account
BlueThingamajig1 votesWhat you say here is true, but misses the point. Riot loses little when they permanently ban a toxic player who happened to have paid money for content. It can be reasonably argued that Riot gains from doing so, by improving the player experience such that other players are more willing to purchase RP. Indeed, an incredibly small fraction of players are permanently banned. Most people don't care that the toxic player receives no recompense, or that the toxic player is upset that they receive no recompense.
When Riot changes the runes system in the upcoming preseason, literally every single active player will be affected. If Riot chooses to provide no compensation, they create a LOT of consumer ill-will. It's a completely different situation. Instead of a tiny fraction of upset people, you suddenly have a near-universal percentage of players upset at a lack of recompense.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votesbut as a player who has played since end of season 2 and has all champs, 20 rune pages, more runes then i need i wouldnt care that i didnt get a "refund" of ip
wtf could i use it for in game?
hell a week ago i had over 25k in IP and blew it getting mystery champ shards to turn into blue essences
RallerenP1 votesThey will definently do something to refund, but it hasn't been decided completely yet, and we will get updated when they. Also, getting IP back would suck for those who already have all champions. Though that's another problem entirely. They should add more things to spend IP on. Even like an icon that costs an absurd amount of IP would be cool.
AJStarhiker1 votesRunes were never sold through RP, since Riot didn't want a pay-to-win model. Rune pages, however could be purchased through RP. And I'd be interested in how those will be handled.
Evewynn1 votesI would be very disappointed if all we got was IP.
I already have every champ in the game, what do I need IP for? Changing my name a superfluous amount of times?
Violet Fields1 votesI'm worried more or so about the rune pages I spent almost 30 dollars on.
J4 Ulted Mexico1 votesRioters have said that they definitely are going to compensate in some way. To what extent? We don't know yet.
ModWuks1 votesSeems like this thread ended up in the wrong sub-board somehow. We're going to close this thread, as it doesn't relate to the Player Behavior systems, but rather is a Gameplay inquiry. We strongly encourage you to re-post your thread there, where it can gain visibility from the appropriate individuals!
Thanks for your input guys i do hope a riot member will come in though to let us know.
