Also you've been playing for several years and have had that much time to make more IP after the fact, it's not the same burdensome cost as for a new player

It basically just boils down to :

Have you been playing since season 1 ?
Yes - You have infinite IP right now and it is entirely meaningless to you
No - You need all the IP you can scrounge up because you still dont own all 137 champions/dozens of rune types/20 rune pages

Players who have been playing longer get a little reward incentive ( urf warwick) to get rid of their truck-loads of IP and to make them feel like all of their effort wasn't for nothing(lol)

Players who havent been playing forever get the reward of not having to grind out all of this poo poo.

ive been playing longer than probably anyone in the forums, since the first couple weeks of beta, and still don't own every champ or rune that i want

Don't worry, in apologetic tones and naive optimism they will change the details 3-5 more times. The final iteration will reek of corporate greed, and the low level rioters tasked with dealing with the fallout will all pay a dear price.

I spent about 4k IP on runes a few months ago just before they announced the changes so I'm psyched to get that back.

the runes system is literally being changed because it's so garbage and adds no value to the gameplay because everyone uses the same setup.

It's a 50K IP roadblock and yeah I would appreciate getting the IP back so I could actually use them for champions I want.

i think it makes sense as a business decision, even though it feels arbitrary to players, but the IP/RP economy has been such that people spend IP on runes and RP on champions when they are not going for skins, and suddenly putting all of this IP back into the game would give everyone about every champion, which dis-incentivizes people to play for first win of the day bonus to get IP, thus reducing play rates.

I think it's kinda sad that people are playing to grind IP instead to have fun, but yeah I guess you have a valid point. They could at least give us more than 40%, like 60/70%.
