There is an in-game Store, where you can buy some goods that are not
mandatory to play the game, but still useful.

For example, you can only select 10 out of 40 champions to play
with (unless you purchase some of them - once purchased, these champions  
are
always allowed to be played with), and these 10 are being rotated every
week so you can play all the champions, but have to wait for a proper week  
to come.
