I need reasons why you shouldn't be able to buy power.

Everything else it the game (minus skins) can be earned after playing for a while. While you can technically "buy" power (runes that give your champions permanent buffs), that same power can be earned by players who've earned enough in-game currency, buying with real money only gets you it faster. Champions are the same way, where any player can unlock them with in-game currency, however, players that can purchase those champions with real money to unlock them faster.

Runes also cannot be purchased with real money (RP).

I personally think games should just stop using the F2P scheme. I'd rather pay for the game and play equally with everyone, rather than play it for free, face overpowered opponents, and hackers who can just make more accounts for free.

On average? Right now we have 82.
But we've had over 12k unique users.

Well I know this might be late but $210 for 64 GBs of RAM, 3 TB hard drive plus like 256 GB SSD. Somewhere around 100 MB/s Ethernet port.
It's super overkill but it allows us to host more than 2 servers 100+ people on each with breathing room.
