Your pounds won’t carry you quite as far in
League of Legends at this point. The game’s prices for Riot Points (i.e., the currency you use to purchase everything else in the game) will be
increasing on July 25th by roughly 20%. Developer
Riot Games has stated that this is in direct response to the falling value of the pound and its consistently lower value following the unexpected Brexit vote a year ago; while altering prices was hardly an original goal, after a year went by and the pound remained low, it was time to make the change.
The silver lining (of sorts) is that players should still receive the same points from a single purchase as they would if they converted from dollars to pounds and then purchased a point bundle, so it’s more about parity than just hurting gamers in the UK. Any points bought before July 25th will be unaffected, so if you want to stock up, now may be the time to do so.
