Riot Games has announced League of Legends RP andTeamfight Tactics TFT Coins are getting price increases this year. RP and TFT Coins are used to buy cosmetics for League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics, respectively. The premium currencies can only be purchased with real money and can be used to obtain both Champions and Champion skins, for League of Legends, or Tacticians and arena skins for Teamfight Tactics.
While League of Legends' Champions can also be unlocked using the game’s free currency, Blue Essence, it takes a long time to earn enough of it to buy the game’s more expensive options. The BE or RP price of LoL Champions depends on both how long it's been since their release and how many Champions have been released since. Because of this, those wanting to get their hands on the game’s latest Champions, such as League of Legends’ newest champion Bel'Veth, soon after they become available will be forced to purchase and spend RP to obtain them.
