Buy *ALL* champions; present and future

People usually don't spend money on the champions themselves, there's IP for that. However, people also don't like grinding for IP for days to get one champ. So here's an idea: Give players the option to purchase all present and future champions for one price (say, $50? This number is not to be taken seriously, as it is just a placeholder. Just say price "x"). This would have massive benefits, both for Riot as a money making business, and to the players.

The Benefits: 1.) People usually don't spend money on the champions themselves, and buying this[all-champion-pass] would be doing just that. 2.) Now, people that bought all the champions will want to buy skins for those champions, broadening the possible amount of customers for skins: more money for Riot. 3.) Fixes rune IP issue: the people that bought this pass won't have to decide whether to spend their IP on runes or on new champions; they already have the champions. 4.) expanding on point 2. With a bigger market, more skins can be made and sold for even more money. 5.) eliminates arguments of 'buying power' (NOT referring to masteries and runes, btw) , because (for the people who bought the pass) everyone has everybody.

Addressing issues: (I'm acting as if this was actually in the store) 1.) What if I already own some or most of the champions? You could receive compensation (If you spent RP to buy the champ, you'd get a percentage of it back. same with IP. This is so that people can't buy a bunch of champions with RP and then refund it in IP, which would be buying power.) Price would NOT be flexible, as it IS a pass for FUTURE champions as well.

2.) What happens to the free rotation? Won't that become pointless? Yes, but only if you buy it. if you don't, the free rotation would still be relevant.

3.) I already own everyone. What point is there to buy it if the price won't change? The percentage refund should be high enough to compensate. OR Riot can come up with a better idea (idk.)

ALSO (DIFFERENT TOPIC): Riot, please make Rune pages have no limits. Seriously, It's kind of stupid how you can have several masteries free but rune pages are limited. at the very least, make pages purchasable with IP (like the runes themselves). Riot, please. Fixing this will create a greater feeling of balance and not buying power.

Thank you all for taking the time to read this and tell me what you think! (I don't know what category this belongs to, so I'm just putting it in champions and skins. There should be a new category called business suggestions or something)

EDIT** I know $50 is ridiculous, but the price was not the point at all. That number was just a placeholder for what would most likely be a much higher price. My main point was the concept of a pack like this. It might not affect veteran players much, but it would be cool to have anyway.

Champs cost 5-10$. Buy 130+ Champs for 50$. 5-10 champs cost 50$. Buy 5 champs get 125 free. Do you realize what you're saying?

And just grind for it. Back when I was able to play League I had almost every champ give or take 10ish. I started at Season 2 and stopped after my laptop broke in late S4.

And Runes have more of a impact than Masteries. You could have one mastery page and still work with that because you can edit it at champ select, but you can't for runes so you need a bunch of pages already prepared for you. Just wait till a 50% sale comes up, buy 7, live life.

I could have seen Riot doing this when LoL was first released, but nowadays it would be pointless for the business since they would lose money. Currently in RP it would take 95,493RP to buy all champions (not including sales) that equivalent to buying the current $100 RP pack about 6 times with buying maybe the $50 RP once to buy all champions. with how much champions they have i can honestly say a bundle of this sort would cost no less than $200 to at least make it inciting for customers to buy, but then you have to include future champions as well which should up the cost since you are getting all future champions making maybe another $100-200. Judging by what Riot themselves have stated in the past majority of the people who play this game dont spend money on it, so do you think something like this could work if most people who play this game dont spend money on it? Dont get me wrong im sure if Riot was to do something like this they would be fair, but at the current state i cannot see thrm doing something like this right now!

This is already in SMITE another MOBA i play and is making a lot of money. I would gauranteed buy this if it were there because its just simply too expensive to buy all champions separate. Also as for the "i spent rp on champions already" problem just refund any ip and rp they spent SMITE done it and I'm not saying go copy SMITE I'm saying this is a very smart business plan and with League being played by millions everyday I'm sure a lot of those people would buy it me included.
