Going to call bullshit on that.

When I hit level 30, I had two complete rune pages and 9 champions (3 of which cost 6300 IP) with IP to spare. There's no way you hit level 30 with so little stuff. And even if that isn't enough, there's still a lot of 450 and 1350 IP champions available which take only a couple of games each to unlock.

now compare that amount of champions to the total amount there are. how is that not being gimped for not spending money?

You don't need every champion to be competitive. Hell, there are tons of players that make it to Diamond 1/Challenger playing one champion. Skill > Champion Pool

Er, it was completely true. When I hit level 30 I only owned about 20 champions including the free shit and runes for 2-3 rune pages. I had to buy rune pages with RP to remain competitive. Not to mention many champions which I actually bought at a low level (for example, Shaco) were champions people would rage at if I wanted to play it in ranked. SO it ended up with only having ~15 champions I could play.

Also no, I don't -NEED- every champion to play. However I don't like the majority of the champions (and most of the 450 IP champions) and to get champions I actually liked and wanted to get better really hurt my IP pool.

Did you use IP boosts to have that much IP? I didn't use any boosts and I hit level 30 with maybe 10k-15k IP to spend? That's like 3 champions at 6300 IP. I don't know how you got enough IP to afford all that.

The biggest problem was rune pages, not even champion pool, they are way too expensive and necessary for ranked.

Guys, I pretty much play the same 4 champions in Ranked:
Riven (top or jungle)
Kayle (top, mid, jungle or support)
Nasus (top or jungle)
Ahri (mid)

I do play others, but it rare, such as:
Akali (top or mid)
Garen (top)
Elise (top or jungle)
---

Kayle, Nasus, Garen and Akali are cheap
Only Elise, Riven and Ahri are 6300 IP

So if you grab a solid 15 champions and get good at them (not saying I am) you have pretty much everything you need to get far in Ranked.
