So I got myself into playing League of Legends two weeks ago and I am hooked! I didn't like DOTA because it wasn't very noob friendly, but this game is much more noob friendly and if anyone is wondering about it, I highly suggest it, and it's free to play. My girlfriend and I have been playing it everyday and she loves it just as much as I do, which is awesome because starting a brand new competitive game with my gf is just what I needed. I was way better than her in SC2 so it was just her relying on me in 2v2s, but in LoL, she can actually get a better KDR "sometimes" anyways, the main point of the blog is that I just bought riot points.. I bought myself 50 bucks worth and same for my gf. basically I just spend a 100 bucks on a game that is free but has microtransactions to gain revenue (small ingame items u can buy for real money like custom skins). it was an impulse buy and i can't decide if it was a bad decision or not. i made my gf super happy because she is ecstatic about buying skins (which is always a good thing :D). i hate my impulse buying habits.. i'll probably regret this a lot tomorrow. hahaha.

it's a bad decision because you can buy pretty much everything useful with IP, I think

Remember kids, League of Legends is a free to play game which the average player has spent money on!

I've never bought any rp points, but if I did I'd buy skins

normally i'd say it's a waste of money, but if it brings you closer to your girlfriend then most definitely not

I don't really understand why you would buy RP after two weeks of play...you should still just be learning the free characters. I can see buying char and runes later on.

Please don't buy skins.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

I've spent as much money on LoL as I have on SC2.

I won't say which was the better investment, but I haven't regretted either purchase

Skins seems little pointless imho and you can buy rest just with IP, but if you got lot of money, RP will get you things faster. I woudnt buy them though...

Skins and ip/xp boost are the only things you can buy with only rp, and it doesn't take long to save up ip.

I would say just don't spend like this every week. Or every month. Actually, never spend money like this again. Couldn't you still have fun without the riot points?

I completely agree, though sometimes I get the feeling that the ratio of money they are cashing in to the amount of money they are spending to make the game better/balanced is off, but I try not to judge because It's not like I have their financial info or anything.

"Much more noob friendly" doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. Hehe.

It's in a great genre of games though, I'll give it that.
