It also has to be said that if they did remove the paywall from skins, there would be nothing left that's exclusive to paying customers. That's has very dangerous implications from a business point of view and would lower the perceived value of the skins. Their exclusivity is part of why people buy them. If you don't believe me, go check how much it is for something like Championship Riven . Exclusivity matters.

If skins could be bought with IP I would not have spent a cent on this game. As it stands, I've spent -- well, way too much anyway.
Thanks to Janitsu for the sig!

League will never sell skins for IP, it would be to much of a loss for them, also I would rather use IP to buy champions, I rarely if ever use RP for champions

(SEA Server) was running a rent-a-skin store a while back, which was simply testing. A skin was like 3000IP to 1000IP, depending on the price in RP. So it was like renting a skin for a week... still, selling skin with IP is impossible. They need profit

Unlike everyone else here, I can actually see this happen. However, I think they would be totally new skins, probably around 2 for over 10,000 IP each. Riot already knows they need more IP sinks in the game so I could see them adding a few skins that could be purchased with IP, but they will never add IP prices to all skins. Personally I would rather them see adding skins for achievements, such as 100 ranked wins with Nidalee unlocks X Nidalee skin

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't do that as it would encourage less teamwork.
"Oh, I need one more Nidalee win to get the skin? And I'm jungle? Well, guess it's time to jungle Nidalee."

Just as an extreme example.


Thank you to jhoijhoi for the sig, and all the dividers in the guide.

Even renting skins has little chance of happening.

Buying them through RP is what keeps RiTo invested in this game.
