^when you donate something to kids in africa, then you don't get anything back either. People only do it because they feel better with donating. It is the same with buying something for rp, be it a skin or a clg icon.

Edit: and stuff like buying a champion or a rune page even adds to the game.

With skins, it is a purchase. It just so happens to be a purchase that doesn't affect your gameplay, only your aesthetics. It's like paying for a new spray-painting on a car. Practically speaking, it doesn't help the car get from A to B any better, but it's just a prestige and vanity thing.

For the icon, I would agree that it's a donation. But with donations, you don't look for the best deal or look at whether it's a rip-off to donate. You only consider whether or not you would, out of the goodness of your heart, give money to support the cause. Unless you're buying it just to look cool, in which case, it's no better than buying skins.

No more than IP does. All you've really paid for is time you wouldn't have spent wasting farming IP, but it doesn't add to the game. It hasn't given you 'extra features' that the game itself wouldn't have given you.

cars are painted to avoid corrosion. you can also try stainless steel, but it simply costs 5 times more than regular one.

I'd expect a bit more for 250RP. (I wrote a bunch of stuff because I think this act of simply giving money for sports is a waste, but have it your way)

it's a way to support your team, in no way shape or from will an icon make someone play better.

but it is a nice way to promote esports and show some love for your favorite team.

Money going into esports means a bigger prize pool, bigger prize pool means more people start playing the game, more people starting to play the game means more money going into league, more money going into league means more content.

well at least in theory anyway

regarding this as an industry is a problem, at trying to continuosly atrack people to your circle is yet another problem many seem to ignore.
