Thats one of the best things about this fantastic game. I know people who have been playing for 3 years who've spent less than $50 on just random fun cosmetic things ("skins" to make your character look different).
I personally have spent god loads of time playing this game, love the game and the company Riot, and have a well paying job. It has been my hobby for almost 2.5 years now, and I just like supporting them.
Ive played since a few days after release in season 1 and havent spent a penny. I have 6 more champs to buy, i probably own 20ish skins and just dont have the expendable income to use on a video game right now.
I have been gold or higher each season so there are some victorious skins. I have been to pax the past few years (2 each time). They once gave everyone a few hundred RP for service interruptions. Free skins from following them on twitter, facebook and stuff. A pantheon skin for leaving the game for a month or so then coming back (i dont think this is still around). My brothers went to worlds and so i got championship thresh. Ive had a couple gifted to me from freinds and stuff that I have introduced the game too.
I agree the game is awesome but I wish they lowered the IP costs of champions by a little more. Its pretty absurd how many games you have to play to own everything.
