We should be allowed to GIFT CHAMPIONS with BLUE ESSENCE.
I'm sure blue essence is a nonfactor for many players as this resource's(and leveling) current value diminishes the more you play. This simple change would no doubt improve leagues ingame value system.
I would like there to be a system that allows friends to gift CHAMPIONS with blue essence. Blue essence will hold more value to veteran players while making introducing league to new players more attractive.
This gifting system can have a multiplied price, gift amount limits (in all or per friend), or certain time frames (e.g. christmas). Or SUMMONER LEVELS granting blue essence gift coupons. Have a set amount of games/kills/assist with that friend between gifts as a prerequisite before gifting becomes available can also help keep integrity or overuse down.
This would let the rift become more accessible, while encouraging people to play with new and old friends.
