Let us get "Essence capsules" when we get S+ or S

You're literally trying to pull the most literal nonsense out of thin air

What?

Damn son

Regardless of how much you have to disenchant to get that free skin, it's still a free legendary skin. Better than shelling out $15. And you get Ultimate Skins for completely free from chests without enchanting them now too.

Go back to s4. Now come back. Do you see how much more free stuff there is that wasn't there before?

The Rune System was a scam in the first place and realistically cost players more money now because they need to get more Rune Pages to actually stay relevant while playing the game.

Thats bullshit. I mean the whole complaint about "reeeeeee, riot gives us not enoug free stuff while i can play the game for free and 3 years ago nothing of chests, capsules, missions existed, reeeeeee" is bullshit, but that especialy is another level.

I have 19 Runepages from old system and honestly need only 5 now as i just have on one page 1 path selected and can easy change it. Theoreticaly someone can also just use 1 rune page as you can realy edit it fast in gamelobby which you could not before and therefore needed much more pages. I see many palyers from pro and high elo to lowelo just editing there 1 rune page every time.

As for your rest you live ina dreamworld.

he most literal nonsense out of thin air to argue a multi-million dollar company is losing money by barely giving out free stuff?

Alone that riot even gave be back for old runes is soemthing they costed them a lot. THey gave like 20% and it is not some small thing for the 100 millions of players league has and you have definelty of these players like 35% who not even spent one cent for the game cause you realy don't need it. and than riot gives a free system to everyone, a system they worked a half-1 year on it. And they not sell it to us, they gave it to us for free AND even pays some compensation. People bitched around that they not refunded 100% but realy: If you buy clothes and can't wear them anymore, you don't get anything. If you buy a car you definetly can't sell it after 7 years for the full price again. Especialy you don't get a free car after it too. But riot did that. This is not praising of a god developer but it just clearing that riot already does more as they need to do.

Sadly it is the basic principle where riot tries to give a finger and the comunity tries to grab the whole hand with the human on it. Seeing what here is voted down and what voted up shows just how little the comunity can understand about economy and how ungrateful they are sometimes. As Uni3489 said already to the lootsystem: "Regardless of how much you have to disenchant to get that free skin, it's still a free legendary skin. Better than shelling out $15. And you get Ultimate Skins for completely free from chests without enchanting them now too."

Riot barely gives anything for free and you know it, friend.

Skins? Runes?

The only thing that's really gated by the leveling experience that wasn't previously is buying champions and rune pages, and even then champion shards allow you to buy the champion on a discount.

Like, what do you want? A free skin every week? How are they supposed to make money off a free game if we're constantly getting the premium cosmetics for free?

Edit: I'd like an actual explanation, you know. Otherwise y'all just come across as... wanting more free shit, which is kinda my point here. You're kinda proving me right if you don't explain WHY we need more free shit.

Well hey. I have so many keys I don't know what to do with them. (They're all from the old system of win and get key shards) I have 18 keys and no chests, which is about the opposite of most people I know.

Compare how much stuff you can get for free, and the rate at which you can get free stuff in League of Legends. Now compare it to another game like hearthstone. see any big differences?

in league, you can get for free: -champions (at a decently slow rate but its not that slow) -skins (3 promotional free skins + rerolling skin shards, which no one seems to do even though you can get good skins from it) -you can actually play something that is meta without spending money

now take hearthstone -you can get enough gold for one pack without quests through 30 wins (sped up slightly by quests but only one a day) -All alternate heroes (basically skins) cost money with just a few being free promotional stuff **-pay to win players have a pretty big advantage over f2p players (this applies to almost all other free games that actually try to make money) **

Riot gives more for free than you want to admit, and you know it. They already have a higher earning rate for the free currency, and **spending money does not give you gameplay advantages, just cosmetics and maybe extra champions that your probably dont even need
** If Riot was to be like other companies, they would give you zero skins for free, make you spend money for runes, or even make certain items only unlockable with money. However, Riot is not like other companies, and gives the people who spend money only cosmetics, and no impact on the gameplay itself. Riot is already doing the playerbase a huge favor by NOT being like other companies and make us spend money for gameplay advantages.

Honestly Riot spoils us too much to the point where people are begging for more when other companies dont even give as much as Riot.
