I didn't intend to hurt Riot's income at all, I adore them as a game company as much as you do, I just wanted to create an incentive for long-term players who don't want to waste every single bit of their monthly income on customization. Of course it's not quite that way, but I hope you see my point here.

After all, you make it sound like it's an easy and motivating thing to ramp up thousands of IP, but it actually isn't, I can see people just not wanting to afford all of this time. So they will still get lots of RP. I mean, Riot could to things like allowing only one skin purchase with IP per month or something, I don't see why the idea should be completely abandoned.

Nah, 200 RP would equal 1000 IP in my system. :)
