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.

haha try and get some of the expensive champs!
and save some for when new ones come out, cause you'll want them!
=P

I want a girlfriend like yours.
|
dunno i find RP to be insanely overpriced lol
|
it's a bad decision because you can buy pretty much everything useful with IP, I think
|
lol i have the biggest buyers remorse so I stop myself from buying pretty much anything that I don't absolutely need. Kudos to you
|
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.
|
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

Nothing wrong with supporting a company that makes an entertaining game. Have fun!

damn it would be cool if my gf would like games. actually I don't know, maybe it would be bad thing. :D
|
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...
|
you made your gf happy with 50 dollars. It was a good decision.

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.
