I posted my idea about refunds a while ago.. I say for the spending x amount of money someone should get x number of refunds (every 6 months) (if this started it would include the 6 months prior to releasing this) up to a maximum of 3 per 6 months, or 1 refund every 2 months. Or make less money needed spent but over a longer course of time, if that makes since. like x number of dollars per year = x number of refunds.

You need to work on your pitching skill. When asking for a feature, be general about it, and allow the producer of the feature to fill in the specifics. For example, instead of asking for "2/3" IP, ask for "partial" IP.

Also, in this case, you could essentially get the same thing by asking for a less complex feature addition. Instead of refunds, ask for rentals, which accomplishes the same thing and gives Riot more control. With a refund, players just end up controlling how long they use a champion which has an indefinite value. With a rental you're getting the same effect, the value of a purchase is defined by Riot, and a more effective pricing scheme can be determined. This will also allow users to feel like they're taking advantage of a system that was provided to them by the producer, and not manipulating a system that was intended for different reasons.

Err, I wasn't pitching to Riot, I was pitching to OP. I don't even use my refunds, I'm tired of hearing "giv mor refuns nao riyot!" and "no riot not need giv nethin for custuhmersz" Trying to get some middle-ground talk going. I could really care less what Riot does because I'm happy with the time/money I spend on this game.

Riot is a business model, thus people who pay should be entitled to refunds.

Riot isn't a business model, they're a business. Not all businesses offer refunds to their customers, many if not most, especially when electronic goods are involved, don't offer refunds unless a product is faulty, and even in those cases many have a replacement only policy. Your logic is flawed, your premise is inaccurate and your conclusion doesn't follow from it.

3 refunds is plenty, i've bought just about as many champs as i have really any interest in buying, and i've already used the 3 refunds, and bought those champions back. the need for constant refunds is just terrible. constant refunds for every player? Riot would hardly get any business, and even if it was just once every year, why would u need that many refunds? you really don't, most champions u can get used to over time or learn to play better. Others u just really aren't good with. however there is really only one problem with the refund system imo. Riot needs to make it where if someone tries to use one of their refunds on a champ that costs below 6300ip (975rp) or skin (not sure if can refund skins) a message should appear suggesting that they save their only 3 refunds for more expensive champions or skins. i say this because many LoL beginners sometimes don't understand that it's best to save your refunds for expensive items instead of wasting on a champ or skin that you could get the ip for quickly or rp that you could get with just another 5$.

i know many ppl on LoL that have done this, that have refunded a 3150ip champ or something else which they regret doing. my rl friend that plays LoL did that, wasted all 3 of his refunds on getting back ip from 1350ip and 3150ip champs then spent the ip he got back on runes before i could suggest otherwise. so i believe riot should warn players about wasting their refunds since they only get 3, like make a message when you're about to refund a champion, stating that the champion is of very low cost and you cannot obtain anymore refunds after they're used.
