Influence Points are
the virtual currency that you can obtain by playing games of League of
Legends. Win or lose, you get IP. As you would expect, you get more
Influence Points for a win than for a loss. You can use Influence Points
to purchase all sorts of goodies in the Riot Store, accessible right
from the main menu of your LoL client. Influence Points are good for
just about everything in the store, and for the few things they are not,
you'll need Riot Points (see the sidebar for an explanation on Riot
Points).
As a new player, you may be tempted to spend all of your IP on your favorite champions. I can sympathize with that urge, but try to fight it. Influence Points are the only way to purchase Runes, which will strengthen your champion builds at higher levels. While Runes are rarely used below Level 20, once you hit that golden level, you will be at a disadvantage against people who saved up in the interim.
Estimates say that you can look forward to accumulating around 15,000 IP or so by the time you reach Level 20, and that is more than enough Influence Points for you to fill up a Rune Page.
I'll talk about Runes and Masteries in the next section.
