You guys are making a huge deal out of this. It's only 3 refunds forever, right? I can guarantee that most people will be making up those 3 purchases sooner rather than later. And that's not counting people using it on IP purchases as well.

Once they get something for free they will never buy anything again.
Dont forget you can only refund 3 times per account ever. therefor the amount of money it will actualy cost them is pretty limited.

Thx Chexx!

Why does it seem to me like all these replys assume that I am actually defending the position of "RIOT loses a lot of money for this"?
I was pretty obvious, wasn't I? I mean, all these words in italics and stuff...

GUESS WHY
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (seriously though, hecarim only has 2 roles in a teamfight, initiate with boss ulti and stick on the AD carry. With the current meta of every AD having 2 jumps u need dat ghost to stick to em, it also lets u gank without ultimate)
|
Aaand this is why you ban alistar
|
Ghost is probably better in a tournament setting, but I would never go into a solo queue game without Flash on Hecarim.
|
Alistar ganking and killing every lane 100%.
Holy crap.
|
This Alistar, real terror. iG maybe trying to hide their strategy for the season final.

iG is always like this sometimes they play reallly really good but sometimes they just suck.
In game 3 they played good but the start where they invaded and gave irelia 2 kills. Just snowballed away from them.
2 game the whole team disconnected and LG-IM got 2 kills. same like game 3

Yep, but I didn't mean they played bad cos they want to hide their strategy. I believe they still play at 100%, but with just standard stuff.
This 4th game is quite interesting though, fight and gank all the time!
