So as I'm waiting in a 20+ min queue to play LoL, I put on my tin foil hat and wonder if this the direction Riot is going.
Would you even be mad?
How much would you pay for no wait time?

not really, sometimes i log in in the morning and i get no queue time.
Over the weekend it was over an hour...
No. And you're an idiot.
I wouldn't pay I'd leave but I don't ever see Rioting doing premium accounts like that. One way of doing premium accounts I'd love to see is a one time payment to unlock all Champs but again I don't see that happening as well.
If this was true, wouldn't they make us have long queue times on EUW and EUNE as well?
That's what they want you to believe.
Someone gotta throw a conspiracy meme out there.
Its an interesting subject, thats for sure. Currently LoL's only income is from RP thats mostly used for skins (which are completely optional) or for lazy people to buy champs.
A 100% free user doesnt bring em any profit, at all. You can buy any champ you want (even new ones) with IP, you can buy runes with IP and runepages can be bought with IP. Those 3 are the only ones you 'need'.
Now a premium service might happen, but apart from the instant login/play what would be a part of it? I doubt just a bump in loginqueue would generate a whole lot of extra income, however new champs/skins being exclusive to premium accounts for 1-2 weeks might change that entirely.
I wouldn't pay to ensure not getting wait time personally but if the service gives me stuff i'd actually use sure why not.
Suddenly, Supremacy makes a lot more sense.
Yes, I would like them to have this option with more features.
Like being only be matched with other premiums, there's just too many trolls / leavers / people who don't care.
I don't think splitting the playerbase would be wise. As it would destroy the competitive scene(IMO)
Not so sure that would work.
I take this game seriously, play at a relatively high level, and think I have a relatively good attitude (I've never been banned or anything) but I would definitely not buy this feature if they were releasing it.
I'm yet to spend money on a skin, etc, and I don't really intend to. And I'm sure a lot of other good players feel the same way.
Ya, just not on that feature alone, and definably optional
Maybe like a set amount of RP, or IP boosts a month.
A special set of icons.
No queue wait times.
$5 a month maybe?
$5 a month is retardedly expensive, especially for a free to play game. You want someone to go from a free game to $60 a year? You're going to lose a LOT of players.
Regardless of the price and features included, I wouldn't pay.
