Hi riot about BE and OE and RP.

Ok so this won't be long and detailed I'm just going to give you the feelings i have and reasoning that I have related to this and my personal actions (As well as the actions of a non trivial number of other people.

  1. I have everything I need on my main account and an obnoxious amount of BE likely more than I will ever spend on new champs (if you released one champ a month and I got 1 win a day 5 days a week it would take me more than 4 years to run out)

  2. I have a smurf account I enjoy spending some time learning new champs on. I was as I figured out what I liked going to buy some skins for it. However now the account is basically dead. I have no reason to spend money on it because I cannot unlock a significant number of champions or even have a full pool to pick from. I'd have to mindlessly 1 trick a champion on a smurf which come on there is no reason to do that.

  3. You may think that nerfing the BE essence gain and putting in almost comically skinner box manipulative RNG sinks is a good thing and you will get some addicts but there is a reason it wont work for long. People will keep to 1 account and long time players will be fine while newer players will play for 3-6 months hit a wall and quit. Whales will quit faster and you'll get less money out of them. "BUT WHALING WAS UNCHANGED!" Bullshit. I loved getting 50$ IP cards and buying boxes because 1 I support the game and 2 I Really liked the loot boxing because it felt like if I bought stuff I'd always get more than if I bought it outright. Well not anymore. Math isn't on the side of mindless loot boxing. You have actually nerfed it to oblivion along with buying champs.

  4. Honestly this change feels like it's worse than dynamic que and I already know one player who is straight up contemplating quitting if its not changed because he picked a role (support) and got most of the champs but then started to realize he can't carry as sup at his elo so he went JG. Now he doesnt have many JG champs and was saving up for some but it will take him about 900-1000 games to get merely the ~10 champs he wanted to add to his pool. To put this in perspective I play a LOT and I play possibly 800-1k games a YEAR.

TLDR; BE being bad makes me unable to recommend this game to others. OE being bad prevents me from buying loot boxes. I have no reason to buy RP for smurfs if I can't get the core aspects free because I'd just have to double dip on RP (Which is what you want and some people will buy into it but I would guess less than 50% resulting in again lost revenue.) So basically add the BE back at the end of games and nerf capsules please, or novel thought leveling is a flat exp amount for all levels after 30.

Well said completely agree with this post. Really wish Riot would get the $$$ out of their eyes and realize how greedy they are being. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

I meant more that this is them shooting themselves in the foot. Even from a logical perspective assuming base greed. They lost money from me straight up because I'd have to buy more to buy any pricing me out of bothering. Basically they are going about greed the wrong way.

They Should Find A Stable Way Of Gaining BE instead of RNG because even a 99% chance of a chance could still mean you got chosen with that 1% every single time [zombie-nunu-bummed]
