Coming from a newer player from Season 7, Season 8 makes things feel worse to play.

While in Season 7 I felt like it was way too difficult to get new champs. It took days of 10+ grinding to get one of the 6300 champs, which resulted in me spending money on champions.

Seeing Season 8 the only thing I saw was that new players will get lots out of this, making it easier to get new champs (SPOILER, I DON'T SEE THIS) and also making leveling easier when it comes to runes/masteries so that new players aren't so confused by them.

My problem is that Winning games feels like ABSOLUTELY nothing. Previously at least I'd get to see my IP go up a bit from some games after a long day, but now it's just me looking at a level that gives me no boost to continue playing. I had finally hit level 31 after grinding a bunch of games and I get about ~800 essence worth of garbage champion shards. I had never been so disappointed from playing so many games. There needs to be something to give players that boost to continue playing. The fact the DAILY MISSION only gives XP is insane to me. If there was BE along with it, things wouldn't seem as bad. Or maybe along with the Daily Mission, give some missions that go along with it some days that give you some BE. Currently only grinding to get levels is way too tiring for people.

When it comes to runes I think they did a better job at making the list smaller so new players understand it, but there's such a large imbalance right now in Attack/Defense, but I'm sure that will change over time.

Please, for the sake of people who play the game to try to get the champions and have fun, give us something to play for.
