Popular Suggestion : Battle Boosters
Games such as halo, dota, fortnight and pugb allow the player to spend in game currency to have crates and boxes at the start of the game, this adds more mechanics and a higher degree of excitement to the start of games as you find out what you get in it, also the start of league games is boring and needs this change.
this would allow people who spend this in game currency on stuff to actually influence the game, not just buy some poorly drawn nami emote of green malzahar chroma, those are cosmetics and don't add anything to the game. I pump long hours into this game and I think my stock pile of blue essence should be put to better use then instead of these sprackles and sprinkles.
It would make the game more exciting as you find out whats in side, extra health pots, wards, a dagger or, if you spend more on a big battle booster, something to give you a more meaningful edge over your oppenent, such as a serrated dirk. This would, inturn, also speed up the game, especially in ranked and in LCS, a big draw for players is the intense, all action, battle royale playstyle, battle boosters would allow for this.
I suggest brining back influence points and have them drop in hextech boxes, afterall, influence points should allow you to influence the game, it just makes plain and easy sense.
For this, there should be three tiers of battle boosters.
- Small Battle Boost - can be bought with blue essence, would contain regular starting items, nothing crazy. 2)Medium Battle Boost - can be bought with Rp, Be, or IP, might contain second tier items, bust mostly regualr
- Big Battle Boost - Afraid of promos going against you? Drop a few spare rp that you don't need and start the game with a complete item. This would take so much stress out of ranked.
Thank you for reading.
