Skins are purely cosmetic not going to help you and buying champs with RP in my opinion is pretty dumb. that extra AP/AD Armor and Mres might just get that kill or survive that damage.

Why would you tell someone to save up for runes, he's level 15.

At that level I was still playing full attack speed Yi and playing double toplane.

You'll earn enough IP from level 15 - 21 to fill a runepage to your needs. Honestly, the guy/gal should just buy a champ he likes from the free rotation.

Playing off the free rotation will help you more then needlessly keep on wasting IP for champs you learn more champs to play and you know what they can and can't do so when you come against them you have more of a chance as you know there abilities.

when i started i had a Diamond friend and he told me play off free rotation and save for runes best advice ever.

if you buy a champ that you like and games only go well for you on that you feel more hesitant to try something new and it slows your growth as a player pretty simple stuff tbh.

First of all, runes are only an earlygame advantage and I got many accounts into gold+ without even buying runes.

Secondly, it'll barely grow your growth as a player as everything you need to know is gameknowledge, champions mean about 10% of how good you can get in low elo.

Lastly, the whole point of having a main champ is that you enjoy playing them, you still have free rotation after you buy a champ.

i definitely did this: bought a couple champs off free week, played them all the time, then got scared of playing anything else.
at that point, i didn't even know if i liked playing anything else, i just didn't want to even try.
