Maybe if the price slowly decayed from 7800 to 6300 over the period of a week? (this is probably a terrible idea)

7800 is for first week only. Honestly, it makes sense as it cuts down on all the idiots insta-buying and instalocking the brand new champ in normals/Co-op/ranked.

Brand isn't a new champ.

Huehuehue.

So if you bought one of the heroes that recently got a price reduction, when do you get refunded IP?

I really like the new IP/RP pricing changes. That's a lot of reductions overall, and a set schedule of how others will also be reduced. Sure the initial IP price of new champions will be a bit higher, but waiting one week isn't really a big deal, and if you really want a specific new champion you can still get it right away, especially considering how it sounds like they will be slowing down champion releases a bit.

Eh, lots of people constantly complain about having nothing to spend their IP on, more expensive opening champs and the degrading system fix the problem of people with ip inflation and people with too little IP. Totally like the change overall (I barely own 30 champs and this will help me out nicely).

One... MILLION.. Influence Points! *Insert Dr. Evil laugh*

What kind of strategy is this? Make people buy RP, cus 7800 is harder to grind? Thank god, i got almost all champions, but for newer players, this is an indirect force to buy RP.


It's not about newer players, it's about impatient players.

After one week the price will drop to the familiar 6300 IP, so players looking to patiently collect them all through grinding can simply wait. The price bump is a slight, but significant, nudge to the "GOTTA HAVE IT" crowd, those players who are so excited about a champion they simply can't wait, as well as those who simply enjoy flaunting new champions and skins.

Is it a money grab? Certainly, but it's a very reasonable one and it's coupled with a comprehensive and sensible price reduction plan that players can plan around and ultimately represents the biggest steps toward helping new players we've ever seen. It's all good in my book.



I actually kind of like it. I bought Vi for a friend with RP as an xmas gift, since this girl is a massive cyberpunk/strong female character/ cybernetics fan- totally the perfect character for her. Having to fight over Vi with people who just bought the newest thing with IP "just cuz" is sorta disheartening. Same thing happened with me with Khaz'ix (I'm a big enough Aliens fan that I own 15+ novels and have Weyland-Yutani sticker on my car).

It'll be kind of cool to have one week for just the people *most* excited about the new champ.

Played some VI jungle. I enjoyed it but I don't know if it's such and awesome character or because she's viable. I'm not that very good either so...

Is E, W, Q then R > Q > E > W the way to go? Low CD Q is really invaluable I feel but W vs E I don't know. W is iffy, I don't know what to make of it.

For jungle Vi, I've been going WEQ, R>Q>E>W. The AS boost from W demolishes the camps at level 1. Also, Q and E get the most out of leveling them earlier due to the CDR on them.

No one is really "whining", and in this case riot's "greed" is actually providing its players with a sensible, scheduled price reduction plan that will help new players quite a bit if they want to play without spending money.

real greed yo.

The only people this really hurts are people who own nearly all of the champions, if you are getting into the game or don't own many champions it's going to save you more time/money overall.

This actually makes it cheaper for people who don't use RP. The price reduction is much more frequent then it used to be.

I am at 88%, but that might be because i only pick Sona after the enemy picked their support, meaning if i pick her, it is in a favorable matchup. Still, be quiet about that, otherwise people notice that sona is still OP.

WHAT? SONA IS OP? WHERE!?

I thought I heard Sona was OP.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

You must have heard that wrong. She got nerfed, she is pretty bad now. Less HP than a minion, and stuff.
