That's not what pay to win means. Of course it's possible to play LoL and never pay any money, but the things you can spend money on allows you to accumulate items that give you a performance enge in games faster than people who choose to play for free and grind for those items. Whereas a non-pay to win game is a game where there are no in-game buffing items you can purchase with real money.

 

Never felt like people who spent money has an edge on me. Sure they can buy high ranked accounts, but they are still bad. Sure they can buy 20 rune pages, but they are still bad. Sure they can buy all the champions, but you only need to be good with one.

And btw the in-game buffing items is bought by currency only achieved by playing the game. You can level up to 10 and spend $10,000 but you won't have any advantage over someone who spent $0.

Well that's kind of irrelevant. Player skill is not what determines whether a game is pay to win.

Pay to win is where you can buy items with real money that makes a character better than the character without those items. LoL has that with runes. If 2 players are evenly matched with a character and one has runes and the other does not then the one with runes will win in a mirror match. If you can buy the runes with real money then that's pay to win. in LoL you can buy the runes with real money, hence LoL is pay to win.
