Green Essence [Possible solution to community outcry]

Upcoming Changes to Leveling, IP, & Rewards - Nexus - League of Legends

So,

The league community has been talking a lot of the disappointment in the 20% ip conversion for their old runes before the year 2017. Well, Riot can't really afford for players to be having 100% conversions over to ip because of their business plan. Essentially, if everyone were to have that mountain of ip, the next 3 new champs would be almost exclusively bought with that new mountain of ip OR they would have to adjust the ip cost of champions to fit the new extremely large amount of ip floating around. This is because new champions purchased with RP is a significant amount of money going into Riot, and if nobody needs to buy the champs with rp because they have that rp, there is just solid business method to solve it, without pissing off your community.

EXCEPT, there is. and it's something they have already implemented in the game. Temporary Currency.

Events, like the Yasuo v Riven or the Ticket Arcade events, have dropped Currency that could only be spent on certain items, in a certain time.

I suggest they develop a 50-75% converted paid cost to currency Temporary currency, in this case something like "Green Essence" for the runes conversion overall, and allow those points to spent on the in-game chroma\ward skin shop already announced in the same vein as RP and Tickets could be used to buy those Good \ Epic \ Legendary Orbs that drops skins and such.

Basically you just have the shop setup like this: -You want to purchase Pentakill Ward from Temporary Shop -It costs however much blue essence \ however much green essence

This way you could give players more of their spent currency back, create new costs for the Chroma \ Ward Skin Shop for the temporary currency, when the temporary currencies time is over, it converts to blue essence at every 5 Green essence for 1 blue one, heavily encouraging the spending of the green essence while its around.

Which you have to do because otherwise people would keep the green essence until it completely converted, causing the first problem, or they would lose it all because the currency is temporary, which nobody wants.

The point entirely for Riot is to give everyone an opportunity to be rewarded in some way for playing, and not losing tons of dollars, without pulling a full Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft level of "shut up and deal with it" kind of response.
