This new loot system will kill this game's F2P player base.
Players feel cheated. Riot has reduced how fast players can earn champions without paying money. you guys are killing the life blood of your game with this update. No more IP every game AND we cant reroll champ shards from loot. It takes atleast 10 shards on average now to get a champion, which is a ton of level ups. Also, if you don't randomly get dropped a champion (less than 1% chance) you really want to get or are saving for, then there is absolutely 0 benifits of this system. If you are reducing F2P incentives on an F2P based game, good fucking luck increasing your player base. The game is already hard enough for new people to get into, and now your company has the gall to make that wall even bigger. You guys have been slowly killing yourselves since day 1 with your greedy ass corporate mindset.
You need a large player base so that small percentage will give you tons of money. if you reduce the amount of people willing to play your game from entry barriers, then the less money you will get because you have a smaller pool of people willing to spend money on your game. Then, since there is no one else willing to join, other people will be even less incentivised to spend more money on your game, because there are less and less people playing. Have fun killing your own company with greedy changes like this.
