You could, imo champs aren't worth the RP. Takes me about a week or so of playing to get 6.3k IP if I REALLY want it, otherwise I just get it gradually over 2 weeks or so.

However I do spend RP on skins because I obviously have to beautify my favorite characters.

Hmmm ya that makes sense, any cool cheap champs I should pick up?


I'd say you should look at the different roles rather than individual champions to get an idea of which type of champions you like to play. Right now you play Morgana, Viktor and Galio (as far as I know), who are all played as AP mid champions (though Galio can be built as a tank as well, he's more of a counter to AP champs than a standard AP champ himself).

As you may or may not know, the current meta evolves around having an AP champion mid, an AD carry ( Ashe, Sivir, Tristana) + support ( Soraka, Taric, Alistar) in bottom lane, a jungler ( Warwick, Nunu, Amumu) and normally a melee bruiser ( Nasus, Warwick, Garen) top (though an AP top is possible as well).
Note that I've listed some cheap champions you can try for every role, these are not necessarily the best choices for those roles!

Jungling may not be the easiest role to pick up if you're new, especially not on lower levels since it requires having runes in a lot of cases (depends on the jungler).

Players at your level probably won't stick to this current setup though, that's my only concern right now.


Thanks to jhoijhoi, GrandmasterD, The_Nameless_Bard, MissMaw, JEFFY40HANDS, Xiron and myself for the sigs!

Morgana is like really cool, although I just failed hard against Anivia.
Some guy, Shaco or something, ganked me so often. :( Makes me sad


You didn't fail, that Anivia had 160 games played and you had 8, plus you got ganked by Shaco. That's the reason everyone bans Shaco in draft.

Hell I saw you using Zhonya's active last game, that's something most level 30s struggle with. Incidentally, the Galio you were just laning against had 1200 games played. :P

I support buying RP since that keeps the servers up and running. Morgana is 1350 IP, I suggest buying her with IP, Viktor for 975 RP is fine investment if you don't play a ton. I usually buy champions with RP when they're on 50% off sale with RP from Tournaments or just out of my pocket.

edit: price was wrong, season 1 days how I miss you!



Thanks a lot to jhoijhoi for this sig!
