The Riot Points (previously known as Combat Points in Europe) is currency that can purchased with real money and is used to purchase things to add convenience, extra customization options, or to add diversity to the experience. Examples of things that can be purchased with Riot Points are Champions, alternate Champion Skin, or boosts, which are modifiers that increase the rate at which you gain Influence Points or Summoner Experience Points.

Buying Riot Points
There are multiple methods to choose from when buying Riot Points and in varying amounts.

Value of Riot Points
Here is a table representing common Riot Point values for purchasing champions or skins in the shop. Although many people claim that Legendary Skins cost $20, this table shows they actually cost $14 and that is not factoring in any bonus points you can gain by purchasing large bundles of Riot Points.

Trivia

 * Although they can be used to purchase champions, Riot Points cannot be used to purchase runes.
 * Beware when purchasing champions with Riot Points, and some are more cost efficient that others. For example, Sona costs 3150, and 975, whereas all champions who cost 6300 are 975. And so, purchasing Sona would cost the same Riot Points, but only half of the Influence Points.
