Orange essence

Hey everyone, i usually don't like to complain about the new system unless i'm joining in on another conversation (admitting it's pretty horrible right now how blue essence works) but what in damnation has happened to orange essence? I had a 1350 Epic skin that cost 1000+ essence to unlock but i only got 205 or so essence out of it, my friend had spirit guard udyr and he could disenchant it for a pathetic 1/5th of the price it costs. Now it feels crap to disenchant, even if i don't want the skin. I had the new nida skin and i don't even play her nor like the skin that much but it made me feel guilty to disenchant it because it'd pretty much devalue the hell out of it when before you could get your skin after 2-3 shards of the same or lower quality, what the hell is this? Why did they make this change?
