Hextech Crafting System Should Be Bought with IP too
Hello my name is Skebu I've been playing league since season 2, with 2 thousand wins under my belt I can proudly say I'm a Veteran. With that said I have a simple idea an request and I want a reply if possible, and I have not done any research and you are welcome to fill me on the info if you want to.
**(This is leaned towards more veterans) **
What I've heard: So the hextech crafting system is implemented into the game to reward players who've spent their time playing this game, and rewarding those who've skillfully earned it. (Reward those who've gain an S-rank at the end of the game)
This was absolutely amazing, the basic idea of rewarding the players who spent their precious time towards league and rewarding them with a skin that otherwise you'd have to spend real money towards was such a great idea.
Until the day it was released I found out that in order to gain key and a chest you'd have to play games, many games. And with luck included you might have a chance of getting a key. This is absolutely fine for beginners and those who are still learning and find out about the game, but for me and probably most veteran it felt wrong.
What I believe: The reason why I felt it was wrong was because, the IP I've accumulated over the years that not only represented the time I've spend towards league, but the commitment to league I felt was wasted. When I first started out I was enthralled to play more towards a goal, in which case was to unlock a new champ or runes. Why? Because each game I played, It mean't something. I was rewarded for the time I spent and not how good I was or if I won or lost, what matter was I was enjoying and enduring it towards a goal. And once I owned all the champs and the runes that I needed, the games I played from then on felt... Empty. I played towards nothing, I bought skins with my own money believing if I did I would be supporting league and just maybe I'd feel league would give me back that magic. And it did with champion mastery, even if it's a only a symbol above my head I felt accomplishment, I was rewarded for playing someone I enjoyed not much but something.
End Note : The hextech crafting system is a chance for veterans & soon to become veterans to come back/or continue to play league & for league with open arms, welcome them and thank them for the precious time they made for league. IP stands for influence points... and the definition of Influence: "the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something, or the effect itself." So lets have an effect on the community, and thank them with this change.
Thank you for reading this, sorry for mistakes and grammar.
- Love Skebu
