Why has trade not been introduced?

I have been pondering over this question for a while but why can't players in LOL have the opportunity to exchange champions, skins, projects ect? I understand it would require a lot of work, however it would improve the gameplay and communication between players would increase resulting in a better experience of the game. :)

Riot doesn't want to create a 3rd party market, as those can usually end up screwing a player over

inb4 people start making alt accounts to get their free first hextech chest and sending all the skins to their main.

What if Riot adds a "trading tax" of 1 rp? New accounts don't have any rp and if people want to get free hextech stuff form the first free chest, they're going to have to drop at least $5 on their new account to trade.

It's possible but eh. People would find a way around it. Get them to gift them 1 rp for the trade tax with a "Draw for RP"

Maybe Riot can implement a trade system similar to the gifting system where you can ONLY trade with friends. That way you can't get screwed over by other people and if you do get ripped-off by a friend, that's kinda your fault for trusting them and you should probably delete them :). I think it would be cool if you and a friend could go into a trading lobby (similar to a custom game lobby) and see what the other person has (skins, hextech items, summoner icons or even ip) and select what you want and what you're willing to trade. Once both players agree to the trade, there should be another confirmation to ensure the trade and also acknowledge both players about the rp value of the items that they're trading to make sure it's a fair trade.

I really really like this idea and think it would be an awesome addition. However, I feel like there should be a 24 hour window for you to cancel the trade or make sure that's what you want. Ect. That way you don't accidentally make a trade that you don't want.
