I dont remember what I got for the first two levels but got a jihn shard last night. Doesn't really matter to me because I own all the champs, but threads like this make me laugh a little. Multiple Riot posts have been made showing the math for both the former and current system, illustrating that the gains are more then they were. But then we get this weird perspective from people of, "I used to be able to get a champ a week! wtf riot"
Sad thing its straight up not true unless you're playing lol every hour of the day. Basic math:
average champ costs 4800 IP/BE
used to get around 100-150 IP per game it if was a win and a long game.
So ignoring the first win bonus and assuming you win every match you play... 4800/150= 32
SO you would need to play around 32 games to unlock a champ. *again this is also winning every game, so in it would take longer.
dont know about you, but I dont play this game for 30 hours a week.
