"Normally we don't do this"

lol, k

[–]lHatedl[lHatedl] (EU-W) 16 points17 points ago

So many of these pictures on Reddit atm :D

[–]MYTHAtrue 14 points15 points ago

he clearely did this cause he got a thing for OP

i mean DUH the wink at the end.. Taric flair...

[–]I_Think_Alot 3 points4 points ago

There must be some stipulations to this.

[–]occamsrazorwit 10 points11 points ago

It's not like he bribed Riot with bucketfuls of cash... wait... oh...

[–]Jozhua 0 points1 point ago

"Thank you for contacting me." was the only prefix in my request :]

[–]Renuru[Renuru] (EU-W) 0 points1 point ago

well apparently they refuse to tell me because of my privacy.

[–]microtony[microtony] (NA) 39 points40 points ago

As a stockholder of Tencent Holdings Limited, I sincerely thank you.

[–]twistitup 1 point2 points ago

I don't get it, what does Tencent have to do with Riot?

[–]Ken-CL 6 points7 points ago

they bought Riot.

[–]De4dstrike 1 point2 points ago

they own a majority of riot

[–]twistitup -1 points0 points ago

Oh wow... The Chinese servers being run by Tencent makes even more sense now!

[–]Sacramentlog[Sacramentlog] (EU-W) 53 points54 points ago

That's less than 3 packets of zigarettes a day.

And unlike smoking continuing to play LoL wont give you cancer, even if your teammates say otherwise...

[–]Snoopy_Hates_Germans 11 points12 points ago

Who smokes three packs a day? Like, really? Pack a day, sure, I know folks who do. Two packs a day, not unheard of. But THREE PACKS? Where does anyone find the time to smoke 60 cigarettes? Four cigarettes an hour from wake till sleep?

[–]FluffyK 0 points1 point ago

Three packs a day is insane, yes.

When I was working in a dep, most people actually told me they smoke 1 packs a day, sometime one and a half. My mom smoke about half a day.

It's already too much too be honest. I can't imagine three packs/day.

[–]SkiLucker 0 points1 point ago

How long does OP play LoL? If he plays since Beta or S1 i kinda ask myself where you life that Zigarettes are so cheap. In Germany zigarettes cost 4€ per pack, thats like 5-6USD, so in germany that is less than a pack of zigarettes a day.

[–]freakinbird 13 points14 points ago

Do you have a stable source of income and no specific needs or outstanding to spend your money on that this prevents you from?

Then why not?!

Are you trying to payoff a 500,000 dollar mortgage and a new Mercedes while working as a sandwich artist at Subway?

Then you need to get really good at making that Italian BMT, and fast.

[–]TiamatGragas[S] 21 points22 points ago

How dare you suggest I work at Subway...

I work at Quiznos.

[–]freakinbird 5 points6 points ago

Quiznos used to be the shit. Whatever happened to you, Quiznos?

[–]brendalais 4 points5 points ago

We got this place here in Indy called Firehouse, not sure where else it is in relation to the US, but it completely dominates any other sub shop I have ever been to.

[–]BIHMFsc 1 point2 points ago

Don't care if it's relevant. Firehouse IS the shit. Haven't had it in years though.

[–]CheeseWreck 1 point2 points ago

The hook and ladder, so good.

[–]ABitCurious[LeifOnTheWind] (NA) -3 points-2 points ago

Very relevant to this discussion.

[–]Pillow_Starcraft -1 points0 points ago

Upvote for a fellow Hoosier! <3

[–]brendalais 0 points1 point ago

Hahaha, where ya from?

[–]Pillow_Starcraft -1 points0 points ago

about 10 minutes west of Plainfield.

[–]brendalais 0 points1 point ago

Right close to me, hahaha. Right in Brownsburg.

[–]JeffBlaze 11 points12 points ago

man, you should get like a VIP lounge in champion select with booze and hookers.

[–]Altarix 5 points6 points ago

Blackjack and hookers.

FTFY

[–]Roanapur[Roanapur City] (NA) 1 point2 points ago

I'll happily spend 2k for that.

[–]I_PWN_SMURFS 22 points23 points ago

2k $ for a game

shit dude o.o

[–]lHatedl[lHatedl] (EU-W) 79 points80 points ago

2k $ for a free game

ftfy

[–]SomewhatFreaky 17 points18 points ago

It's so free.

[–]wuollett[MisterTxasRanger] (NA) 21 points22 points ago

It's so free.

[–]leojwinter 0 points1 point ago

Knowing full well what this was I still clicked and enjoyed.

[–]toughlarsn 7 points8 points ago

you spend so much more on free games than on games you pay for tbh xD

[–]galas567 13 points14 points ago

Playing for 2 years, spent 0 $ on the game, same as many other people.

[–]luquaum 5 points6 points ago

while that is ok, I used to play WoW and since playing LoL buy less other games so why not throw them a bone? :)

[–]galas567 2 points3 points ago

I'm a poor college student. Got no money for skins :( , or other games.

[–]the_Yippster 0 points1 point ago

Whenever i think I spend to much on LOL I just have to remember the WOW days and I'm fine :P

[–]DreXxiN 2 points3 points ago

As long as you aren't saying that in pride, then good job. Otherwise "Hey gaiz I enjoyed 2 years of entertainment and I don't support the company XDXD lol rebel!!!"

[–]altairian 0 points1 point ago

The whle point of a free to play model is you pay what you are willing to spend. For most people, that is very little or nothing. However, even if person A spends nothing, maybe person B only got in to this game because of A and B has spent 50 bucks on it. Don't give people crap for "not supporting" the game. Riot's business model is built around having many players that don't spend a dime.

[–]toughlarsn 0 points1 point ago

most people does this i think, atleast me.

[–]lHatedl[lHatedl] (EU-W) 2 points3 points ago

Well this is true.. :D

[–]vangsho 4 points5 points ago

its not that much over 2 years for a hobby.

[–]I_PWN_SMURFS 4 points5 points ago

its 1k per annum, so its 80$ per month. In my country minimal wage for a month is around 450 $

for me its just a waste of money and problem of the 1st world countries where to spend 80$ :]

[–]Radion4k 11 points12 points ago

You can spend 80$ a month on cigarettes OR on LoL. Well, both will probably get you addicted haha

[–]double1337 4 points5 points ago

But if you're addicted to cigarettes there's no other way. You can be addicted to/play LoL for free. You choose to pay the 80 dollars monthly besides from that.

I don't think many smokers would pay for their cigarettes if they could get same quality for free.

[–]Qualdrion 0 points1 point ago

In my country minimal wage for a month is probably around 3-4000$ (before taxes) lol :D EDIT: Meant to type 3-4, not 4-5 :S

[–]lHatedl[lHatedl] (EU-W) 1 point2 points ago

Depends on your job

[–]Atermel 1 point2 points ago

Well, for the same 2 year for a hobby, i spent 20 bucks. And I can say i enjoy this game as much as he does with all his fancy skins.

[–]mrthbrd[such a misfit] (EU-NE) 8 points9 points ago

You don't know that for sure.

[–]godsend1 0 points1 point ago

Why does it matter? People can choose to spend £2000 or £20 on a hobby and still have the same amount of fun. It's just how much an individual wants to pay :D

[–]tekknoLogic[tekknoLogic] (EU-W) 1 point2 points ago

his point was that he can never be sure if it's the same fun to play with or without the fancy skins. spamming laugh on Nunu Classic is not close to the fun you get while spamming laugh on Nunu Bot for example. h4h4h4h4h4h4h4h4

[–]mrthbrd[such a misfit] (EU-NE) 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, that was what I was trying to say.

[–]Phlebas99 0 points1 point ago

"Play League of Legends" they said.

"It's free" they said.

[–]Caphero[Beat it punk] (EU-W) 2 points3 points ago

http://imgur.com/rlSyf .. not even close to you

[–]daweedhh[Ald0Raine] (EU-W) 0 points1 point ago

You should get an adblocker mate.

[–]rbtje 3 points4 points ago

How are you gonna find singles in your area with an adblocker???

[–]mjbrown547 4 points5 points ago

Lol is great cause it's free

[–]TassadarWS 4 points5 points ago

Obligatory..

[–]XRay9[LeeSingah] (EU-W) 2 points3 points ago

Great now you made me think about how much I spent and I don't want to know.

[–]kidblast 2 points3 points ago

Why can they not normally do it? It's just a receipt for money that I have spent. Other MMOs do it.

[–]NemesisJax[Nemesis Jax] (NA) 0 points1 point ago

I messaged them a little while ago to see. Haven't received reply yet, but it is probably around there.

[–]GreagL 1 point2 points ago

Do you buy champs or skins?

[–]TiamatGragas[S] 18 points19 points ago

I typically buy the bundles for new champions. I've been playing for about 2 years.

It's mostly skins. I love them too much. I have at least one skin for every champion. :S

I hope there are others like me who see their number and go "wow, I didn't know it was THAT much" then buy more for the great skins coming out very soon.

I would stop, but Headmistress Fiora said she'd hit me with a ruler if I didn't buy even more skins. ;o;

[–]CheeseWreck 1 point2 points ago

I've got atleast 1 skin for 90% of the champs I own. Only missing 8 champs, and I have multiple skins for the champs I enjoy playing (a lot of them). I'm not sure how to go about knowing how much I've spent. I'm also not sure I want to know how much I've spent lol.

[–]CptQ 1 point2 points ago

Some weeks ago someone posted that he has bought every skin except triumphant ryze. So you are not the only one who spends that much ;).

Edit: I know he just can get the skin by winning a torunament. Sry for poor wording.

[–]Raxion[RyumiBRO] (EU-W) -2 points-1 points ago

I bought 0 RP and i've been playing since the beta rofl :>

[–]Barph[Barph] (EU-W) 5 points6 points ago

Then you probably suck at the game as you can only be so good with a champion without a skin for it, buying a new skin inreases your potential to the next level.

[–]Raxion[RyumiBRO] (EU-W) 1 point2 points ago

chill bro, its just that i cant get any RP (not even paysafe cards) from where i live (north africa , tunisia) I would accept they reset my elo to 0 for 2k RP just cant.

[–]tekknoLogic[tekknoLogic] (EU-W) 1 point2 points ago

it was a joke. dude that has to suck. if you play on EU-W and change your payment options to Germany, you can buy them via online banking (if you really want some sweet skins).

[–]Edvart 0 points1 point ago

You can buy paysafecards online on their site

[–]Raxion[RyumiBRO] (EU-W) 0 points1 point ago

we dont have paysafecards available in tunisia.

[–]NZthrowawaysis 0 points1 point ago

Each to they're own, but you should do something like get a single RP card, just to support the game and enjoy it more :) Nothing better than having a cool skin to your favourite champ. ;)

[–]NoCoolNameLeft4Me 0 points1 point ago

are you me?

[–]Rustofolis -1 points0 points ago

lol - $80 p/m isnt a lot... depends how much you play :P

[–]sicone123 0 points1 point ago

would be fun if someone could post a price for everything you can buy atm

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Lol doesn't matter, have skins

[–]HuginTargaryen -1 points0 points ago

Oh my... That's a lot of money dude. o_o

[–]IR12 0 points1 point ago

What don't you own from the store?

[–]User02A1 0 points1 point ago

free game they say ...

[–]BLOWBACKKID 0 points1 point ago

there was a guy on this subreddit once who had all the skins, someone calculated that it must have cost him around 1000 USD.

what did you buy with all that sweet, sweet RP

[–]DreXxiN 2 points3 points ago

My girlfriend has spent over 2000 USD on LoL and has far from all the skins. She has been commended by Tryndamere for how much she's spent. You'd be surprised how much content is "Locked up" in that store.

[–]Obliterati0n[Obliterati0n] (NA) 0 points1 point ago

Champions?

[–]FuchsiaCity 0 points1 point ago

Lets be honest, you could be spending more.

[–]ChaosCore -1 points0 points ago

So this shit actually works : P

I've spent around 10$ on LOL total and thats cuz they gave us some free RP h4h4

[–]Spiderbubble 0 points1 point ago

Oh crap....

I'm so worried about my expenditure now....

[–]Ch4inLightning[Essential] (EU-W) 1 point2 points ago

Spent maybe 500 euros. Ironic thing this game is, completely free but everyone is spending more cash than you would ever spend on any other game. And completely willingly. Addiction at its finest.

[–]suupar[Infini0n] (EU-W) 0 points1 point ago

Well about 2.6$ a day. Not that much if you see it that way :D

[–]CryocorePhoenix 0 points1 point ago

You've spent 2000$ on RP! Good god,I earn ~2500€ a year. I feel so poor now

[–]AttackBacon 0 points1 point ago

Haha, I've spent $1140 myself since 2010. Biggest benefit is basically having every rune despite only playing 5-15 hours a week. BIG SPENDER HI5!

[–]VodkaHappens 0 points1 point ago

Thank you for keeping this game free for us poor students.

[–]Clam-[iClamz0r] (EU-W) 0 points1 point ago

I wasn't buying RP before earlier this month and I'm curious - why you people contact support to find out how much you've spent? When I go to store, I can see my Purchases history and calculate myself how much I have spent - so I guess this doesn't track old transactions from several months/years ago?

[–]bohrmupfel 0 points1 point ago

It keeping those transactions for maximum 30 days. After that you cant see it anymore :)

[–]Clam-[iClamz0r] (EU-W) 0 points1 point ago

Oh, I see... no idea why is that tho :(

Thanks!

[–]Oldcheese 0 points1 point ago

i am rapidly approaching this number in euros.

[–]Sicci 0 points1 point ago

poor riot they earn so little money for their hard work.. :(

[–]Toby_Wan 1 point2 points ago

Dude... That's like, a car or something :O!

[–]JafBot[Orba] (EU-W) 2 points3 points ago

If you were in the UK, the car costs £500 and the insurance costs £4500 at least.

It's half the insurance, would rather walk and have skins than not be able to afford a car :(

[–]Tyko 0 points1 point ago

I remember emailing Riot's (awesome) Customer Support a while ago and just wanted a total amount I've spent, the guy sent me an email like two pages long full of every single individual charge.

It added up to around 760-775$. I've spent more since then. Worth it.

[–]campmorelol(EU-W) 0 points1 point ago

holy fuck and i thought my ~200€ would be insanely much lol

[–]lstplcwnr -5 points-4 points ago

Who in the fuck... What in the fuck... Why in the fuck?

[–]Sh1do 0 points1 point ago

I know your feeling bro,i spent like 1,4k € aswell :D. And i really dont regret it,because i love the game and I love to have many skins. If you cant afford it,or the money hurts you,you shouldnt spend like 20€ every 2 weeks,but if you do it all the time there will be a big number.

And I dont think you can judge somebody because of that,just imagine someone smoking or drinking.That guy is spending even more money for ruining his health.

I regret nothing!!!

[–]cyanideSweets -5 points-4 points ago

Please friend, share the wealth. D: Harrowing skins and such coming up and I'm like. Damn... there goes any money I was going to have for candy for kids on halloween. I feel ba--.. holy zombie brand.. NOREGRET.
