I have every skin and chrome and have gifted a ton as well. I also own all ward skins. The only thing I never buy is icons.

Screw it, I’ll ask. Do you feel like it’s worth it?

And, the even tougher one, could you really afford it?

Hextech was a disgusting amount too tbh I have like 15k orange essence left over and 90 shards so luckily I can just reroll prestige/gemstones now. Also they've introduced several bundles etc like the signature bundles that I bought into.

O also I own all icons wards chromas and emotes that could be why too

Was there ever like just one period in time where you bought like $5,000 worth of chests or was this slowly over time?

I’m just curious how this stuff happens because I legit thought it wasn’t possible to spend $10k in our game

LOL in my defense it is a day 1 account has Human Ryze and all that jazz

And pretty much all special deals were purchased like signature packs, special chroma they add up over time.

I'm also the kind of loser that goes to South Korea for Worlds and try to watch as many SKT matches as I can at LoL Park on my weekends...so I put a lot into this game even when offline >.>

Doesn’t sound like a loser at all to me. That’s awesome, man. Honestly I’m honored I get to work on something that somebody like you would care this much about. So thank you.

You know, looking back on it. I'm sure many people would say absolute waste of money. I don't really feel like that. I spent money basically collecting every skin. Sure, its digital and I don't actually own anything but I like the feeling of owning every skin.

As for the affordability, yes. I was lucky enough to have gone to college and graduate with no debt thanks to my parents. When I got my job after, I spent a large part of my signing bonus on completing my collection. I don't look at that amount of money and feel like I could have totally changed my life with it. My current position leaves me with quite a bit of disposable income every month of which I usually throw some into RP.

Great to hear, and glad you’re enjoying it :)

Dude I just have to say, as a fellow game designer of a live ops game, I respect the hell out of the directness and openness of your communication with the community, amongst a ton of other positive qualities you have. I model myself after you in the way I carry myself with the community of our game, thanks for being so awesome!

That’s really kind of you. Thanks, and be well, friend
