Leveling A New Account and Getting almost no champs

A Magical Banana··2 votes·973 views

So I recently made a new account to see how the lower leveling drops are now and I'm extremely disappointed. I only have 16 champions and I'm level 22. When I first started playing 2 years ago, I had at least double the amount of champs at level 22 then and that was without spending actual money to get them. I've disenchanted almost every single champ shard I've gotten (most of which were worth 1350 or less in the store) in order to try and get the champions I actually want and even with getting such cheap shards, I most of the time wouldn't have enough BE to upgrade them due to how little BE you get now. I like that Riot encorporated getting 50 BE into the first win of the day, but that is only a once a day chance to get a miniscul amount. By the time the next champ is released, I might have half of the BE needed to get them at this rate. I really think there should be BE per win again like they did when they still had the IP. I understand not getting any if you lose (though you did get small amounts of IP if you did) but at least reward us for winning. I've gotten a chance on all the champs I do have except maybe 2 so that ruins that option for getting more champs. What do you guys think? I think we need a way to earn more BE.

This seems suspicious. I seem to recall that back when I was leveling this account, I was three champs short of the 15 champ cap for ranked when I hit 30. Granted, I had splurged on Bard, at least, and maybe one other 6300. So really, which 22 champs do you have? are they all of the 450's? because you said you were only getting the ones you wanted.

I'm level 22, not have 22 champs. I have only 16. I have Ashe, Soraka, Ahri, Leblanc, Veigar, Zoe, Lux, Sivir, Eve, WW, Annie, Kayle, Yi, Ori and Teemo. Ori, Zoe, and Soraka I spent RP on instead of blue essence because I have gotten so little. Back two years ago, I had many more champs than this, Definitely more 4800 and 6300 champs. I also didnt really spend RP on champs at that point, only on skins. But now I feel like I need to spend the RP to have the champs I want/need for the lanes I play most often.

It's important to note that the amount of experience required has been reduced. Level 22 does not equal level 22 anymore. Also that "miniscul amount" raises the First Win of the Day bonus to more than what it was before in IP. I don't think we need a way to earn more IP/BE, I'm content with earning more than I did with IP.

While yes experience required was reduced, you are still earning a lot less BE then we did IP back in the day. You would earn IP after each game you played. You would get at least 20 IP even for games you lost. The amount you earn now is almost none compared to how it was. I'm not saying we need to earn the same amount as before, but something for winning games would be nice also. I'm sitting at 702 BE with just winning my first game of the day and having just gotten Teemo from my last level up and sitting at 600 BE about two days ago after getting him.

Well, I've been doing research myself on the issue to see what the reality of the issue. It's ongoing but so far, no, mathematically that is not true. It's looks to be that you are getting about the same or a little more IP/BE on 30+ accounts and (I will have to create a new account to double check exp but) based on published reward values, once you complete 1-30 you get more BE value per level. Just finish the levels and claim the rest of the BE drops.

give me proof. becaues before be i could easily earn 200 ip a day EASILY. first day win gave us like 150 IP and wins after that would give like 70-90 based on ur score. so please tell me how this is better? show me some pcitures breeak the math down becaues i used to earn 400 plus ip per day before this update palying 5 games a day.. know playing 5 games a day nets me maybe 1 capsule every 3 or 4 days which in turn might give me 810 Be so if we factor in the first day win of 50 we get an extra 150-200 be. compared t me getting 400 ip per day which in 4 days would net me about 1600 Ip MINIMUM. so show me some screeen shots or somethign my man becaues im calling absolute bullshi on u getting more BE than ip. this new update only hurts people like me who grinded 4-7 games a day and helps casuals who play 2 or 3 but even in the long term will still hurt us all.. so again post how much BE u have gotten in the past month. becaues ive barley gotten over 4000BE compared to me getting like minimum of 8000 a month on IP
