Getting Blue essence takes waaay too long

Once i hit around level 60, I'm not even getting 1000 BE per level, it's taking the longest time to hit 6,300 blue essence to buy a new champion. Why is the system like this? Before it took me about 2-3 weeks to get 6.3k IP, but now it takes a week to level up while only getting 800-900 blue essence. Riot, please fix this system; let us get at least some blue essence per game, or at least increase the amount you get per level up.

riot was like "there are a bunch of people that have over 100.000 IP so now we change the system... the 'old dogs' still cant use their IP for shit, while the new players barely get any ahahah"

Something about the "I'm not even getting 1000 BE per game" makes me think this might be a troll post.

Yeah blue essence is pretty brutal. I have 100k but i've also been playing siince s1 and have all the champions owned. New players are getting shafted to get champs, old players have noting to buy. feels bad man

I said this before the system changed. Nothing is more frustrating than seeing that champion you want and being 10 BE short of it, because instead of just needing to play one more game like before, you have to play 10 ish games to level up to get it.

I honestly don't care if there is a net 10% gain or whatever the number they said before was, this system feels really bad when you are trying to get champions.

I specifically made a new account to see what the system would be like, and it's so painful. I bought some of the cheap champions to get enough for ranked like most players would do, but it really hurts the fact that I only have so many champions for the role I want. The number of times my teammates are all "pick this champion" and I can't because I don't own them is really frustrating.

Can confirm it feels bad. And considering you should have a lot of champs in ranked if people want to swap... i mean is that even possible to do in a human lifetime? I sure as hell am not paying 5 dollars for RP to unlock at most 2 champs. Screw that noise.

You can disenchant champion shards for blue essence in your loot page. A single shard often goes for 1000+ BE so I'm inclined to think that the occasional shard makes up for the deficit in BE from leveling alone.

try being on a new account, level 18 own 2 champs spent well over 24 hours playing the game....Lulu and maokai over 20 games in the past day feels good man.

They changed it based on the communities age,most of the players are 12-17 so they have all the time to play the game and get BE,on the other hand people with lives and shit dont get shit xd
