The events for this game would be a lot more fun if you didn't have to pay for them

Every event is basically special mystery boxes and skins both of which you have to pay for so the people who don't want to spend money on this game can't participate. If you look at a game like Overwatch, they add a lot of cool new things that everyone can get without having to pay anything which makes it a lot more fun. Having to buy into events is really lame tbh.

But over watch costs $40-$60 where league is free.

Is this some new brand of sarcasm? Almost all League events have a lot of freely accessible content for all players. Overwatch events usually have a single very poorly balanced game mode and a pile of cosmetics with horrible droprates for anything good.

The Blood Moon mode is better than any of the Overwatch brawls and the price on blood moon skins is extremely reasonable compared to Overwatch where you should expect to spend 40 dollars to get the skin you want.

I'm disappointed that the revel boxes are only attainable through RP but that seems unusual for a League event while ever Overwatch event has angered me.

As an overwatch and league player, if you pay for that many lootboxes, even if you don't get the skin you want, you'll get a bunch of extra skins and cosmetics, and you'll probably get enough credits to buy whatever you want.

A bunch of garbage I don't want for heroes I don't play.

This is a lie. Boxes give an average return of 55 credits apiece and that's only if you already have almost everything unlocked. A legendary skin would cost almost 60 dollars in boxes to afford through credits.

getting skins in overwatch is way easier than in league though, every level up gives you 1 box and it's very easy to do, whereas hextech components take ages and you can only get so many chests at any given time (and you can't even get them if you already have an S on that character)

of all the things i hate about overwatch their lootboxes seemed the most reasonable

Getting the skin you want is actually a huge pain in the ass in Overwatch. It generally costs about 40 dollars for the highest tier of skin (anything that's more than a recolor), more if you aren't lucky.

The only free thing is the recycled game modes that Riot puts out. Everything else is something you have to pay RP for.

I think they should have some of the stuff cost IP... even if it is like 7k or 10k IP...
