Do we really need Blue Essence to get mastery 6 & 7?

I like the idea of champion mastery 6 and 7. You have to be good enough at your champion to get S grades, unlike Mastery 4 and 5 that you can get just by grinding out lots of games with a champion. It seems kind of weird, though, that you need blue essence to get it. I know that you can get blue essence with IP now through champion shards, but the whole thing seems kind of unnecessary.

-Blue essence has nothing to do with your skill on a champion, so why should you need it to get to level 7?

-Riot probably makes barely any money off people buying hextech chests for blue essence, because they implemented the option to get blue essence for IP

-The complicated crafting system confuses newcomers

So why do we still have this in the game? We already worked hard for the Mastery tokens, don't make us pay extra.item 3070

It's more that Riot wanted to give the people who have played the game for a long time, something to do with the mass amounts of IP they have.

You don't need IP or RP to get blue essence, just build item 3508

I think people complained about not having uses for their essence, particularly blue, so Riot tried to give them an essence sink.

you are on to something...

but its a ploy to get people to buy hextech stuff t (keys/chest) to get essence to unlock lvl 6/7 its all bout that mighty $

but heres how you beat it... use your ip to get champ shards... use champ shards to help unlock your lvl 6/7s and if you get some you dont need /or more then one for a champ disenchant for essence and you win

i know you need IP for champs / runes etc... well i dont... i have nothing else to spend my IP on
