Also, some people, like me, are natural collectors. We don't invest much IP in Runes, but in champions. I do say that I bought one or two champion bundles, but even if I didn't had the money, I could possibly do enough gaming to buy 2 or 3 champions per champion release, so even with the slow approach, it feels rewarding and I'm coming closer to a goal. That actually is a good measure: If someone who does just a few games daily can still progress fast enough to eventually catch up at some pint, you don't feel like you're stuck in eternal grinding.
