LoL's progression has become rng based.

I was watching some videos about the new Battlefront game and all the backlash that game has gotten because of there loot box oriented progression and now that IP has been turned into BE it makes LoL's only way of getting blue essence is with boxes. I know about the small changes with the first win of the day, but I still think it isn't enough.

I don't know what they could do in order to make it better I just wanted to tell anyone that would ever read this that this has gone undetected. EA has gotten so much backlash for there loot boxes but not LoL, I know that LoL is f2p but for us LoL "veterans" this is kinda sad.

I hope someone reads this and realizes what Riot is doing.

A set number of in game currency at a minimum with potential for higher gains vs a box that's 100% rng with no minimum on what it provides like in say over watch. Yes, they are indeed the exact same things, good eye great catch mate. Also Like EA riot totally makes you pay 60$ first to just download the game. Real shame there has been 0 post complaining about riots BE changes on the boards and its also disappointing how riots not made any changes to the system in the first few days to upgrade the experience, like say bumping the minimum Be from Shards to be 810 minimum or adding in some BE to First wins.

No personal disrespect intended I'm just feeling like throwing sarcasm around tonight. Battlefronts a real fuck you from EA the BE changes are more friendly to newer players and folks who lack content and only hurt folks like my self with all champions unlocked who will have to grind for new releases. Its been a hot topic on the boards and there has been hella tilt over it even for the folks who benefit from it which I find silly. Have a good night mate.

Yeah, im really sad riot is giving me free loot boxes instead of nothing like before.

Riot making the game better for newer players, and giving veterans a ton of BE bonus was a bad, greedy move. I only got 130,000 free be. My friend only got 270,000. Actually criminal.

Dont make me get started on that store, I spent all my BE there, now I have no BE for future champions! This was their plan all-along. The BE store was just to get me to buy new champs with my credit card, instead of the endless IP I was stacking, that I couldnt do anything with.
