Idea for Runes Compensation!

HonestJohnTheCon·7/24/2017, 12:29:54 PM·2 votes·418 views

Everybody who spent any amount of IP on runes gets a free icon. Everybody who spent 10k of IP on runes gets a free ward skin. Everybody who spent 25k of IP on runes gets a free chroma of their choosing (this shouldn't result in any revenue loss for Riot, as chromas go on an IP sale twice a year anyway). Everybody who spent 50k of IP on runes gets a free legacy skin that Riot has made in memory of the old system (Runic Xerath? Runic Malphite? RUNIC YORICK?).

In addition, players who spent IP on runes will get up to 10 free champion shards based on how much IP they spent. It would be something like: 5k - 1 Champ Shard 10k - 2 Champ Shards 20k - 3 Champ Shards 30k - 4 Champ Shards 40k - 5 Champ Shards 50k - 6 Champ Shards 75k - 7 Champ Shards 100k - 8 Champ Shards 125k - 9 Champ Shards 150k+ - 10 Champ Shards These shards will still be useful for people who own all the champions due to blue essence for m6/m7 tokens.

I feel like this is fair for Riot, because they don't have to allot THAT many resources to compensate, and I think it's fair for the players too, because it gives them some limited time content if they spent enough IP.

Please list your comments or suggestions below! If you agree, upvote this so Riot might see it!

I feel like such a tiered rewards system may noob-trap people into spending ip on runes (which will be gone) to reach a certain rewards threshold.

There is also the problem of the OG players which already have all champions. Though they can grind those shards into blue essence and use it on champ mastery or RR into any new champ that comes out, it's just not something they would have used it on considering champ shards normally cost 1.7K. Making them worth 10K each doesn't make them "better."

I'm personally hoping they give us something associated with crafting, maybe boxes. Even if they are all garbage, I will have fun opening them.

I'm pretty sure it was already said that any/all IP used to purchase runes will be refunded when the new system rolls out.

like i dont get why ppl expect a refund on something u purchased to be better ta the game. i do not expect riot to refund the runes ivbe bought. The game is changing hell i dont even have anything to spend ip on so unless they gonna give out rp for this it will be useless.

This would be amazing, but I think that Riot already has something planned for compensation. Also the value of runes to shards doesn't match up on your chart. I think if Riot were to do that, it'd be more shards. But as I already stated, I believe Riot already has this planned out.

This is bs. I have all champions, champion shards have absolutely no use.
