I mean with each new champ they got a ton of money but where is the limit? We got 106 champs right now. Honestly I think that's a serious problem Riot's going to have to deal with. It really comes down to question of if there is ever going to be a time when enough is enough and there's just too many champions... how many champions can be made? Let's say Riot releases ~20 champions a year, in 5 years we have approx 200 champions. How is that going to work out in the long run? It's just going to become overwhelming and eventually I think it will hurt the game. 200 champions to learn? How will new players be able to cope? If you take a break from LoL you'll fall so far behind it'll be impossible to catch up. But without new champions people would eventually have an excess of IP, they'd lose all the money spent on people buying champions and their only source of income would basically be skins. One champion a month would be a lot better for LoL in my opinion. But it would cut down on Riot's profit from releasing new champs because many more people would be able to afford it with IP. I dunno, just seems like Riot's marketing is short sighted and not good for the long haul. Other game companies constantly make and sell new games, Riot's just got this one and when it runs its course what then? LoL2 where they do a graphics upgrade and we've got to rebuy all the champions/skins we previously had? Or should Riot make as much bank as possible now and retreat to their private island in a couple of years.

I feel like camera lock is one of those features meant to wean in players coming from MMORPG backgrounds (expressing regen as per-5 rather than per-second is another; though that's kind of WoW-context specific). Some people never grow out of it I guess. | ||

Or maybe not... I've already got 3 skins for gangplank. Personally I feel that this is enough and I'm done buying skins but maybe I'm just really stingy. Part of it is going to be continuously bringing in new blood - SC2 has no in-game purchases and Blizzard made that profitable somehow. | ||

Well that's not exactly the same business model, seeing as Blizzard releases other games, and doesn't continually produce new content/features for the existing game. | ||

I think Riot has recognized that this could become an issue - which is probably why things like ward skins are being introduced. I doubt they ever stop making champions period, although they could slow down to 1 per month - maybe adding other cosmetic goodies to soak up IP & RP. | ||

Or maybe not... I've already got 3 skins for gangplank. Personally I feel that this is enough and I'm done buying skins but maybe I'm just really stingy. If we assume that most of the LoL playerbase falls into a range of say 20 years, then the whole userbase will cycle out over the course of 20 years. That means another several million people who will buy 3 gangplank skins each. The numbers above are based on fiction and therefore 105% accurate. You get the point. Also Riot will produce a new game sometime in the future. Unless they all collectively decide to take the money and leave. | ||

On top lane trundle btw when i plan to get shurelias on anyone besides besides support I usually go kindlegem first too, the extra hp and especially cdr is pretty damn good and the regen you get from philo is actually pretty shitty thats why we still see alot of pro supports go straight heart of gold although 99% here agree that it's a shitty item | ||
