Am I the only one that doesn't like the new essence system?

I really don't think that we get enough essence when we level up. Not only that but you can't reroll champ shards anymore. The amount that you can disenchant them for doesn't seem like its enough and it just makes the game seem a little less satisfying. I have 4 accounts currently (not from permabans, my first account is a little fucked up because I played ranked way before I was ready and I was just stuck in elo hell. Each account I've made has been placed higher) and I only have one that has all the champions. Its going to take forever to get all the champions on my other accounts unless I spend money to get them, which I feel is Riot's underlying intention for changing this system in the way they have.

I mean realistically, when it comes to ranked, especially in higher elo's, it can be a disadvantage if someone doesn't have all of the champions. Like you can't first or second pick high priority champs and then trade if everyone doesn't have all the champions. I feel like the game would be a lot better if they were all free and they made certain qualifications to get to play ranked (so you don't have those brand new players going into ranked playing multiple champs in the wrong roles just because). I really don't think that people spending money on buying champs would be enough to effect Riot in any major way if they changed this system either back to the way it was or altogether.

I mean all I really want is to have it be easier to get all the champions lol.

Okay, I hate that shit too, but "Am I the only one" are especially cancerous threads when half of a page is covered with threads of the same topic. If you want to ask such question, plz at least look at top 30 threads and If there are at least two of them with at least 20 upvotes, you have your answer and can come up with less cringey title.

No, a lot of people are in agreement with you. Those who aren't are defending Riot's bogus math and saying that wanting more currency is whiny.

You get more BE compared to IP in the old system. In the long run you'll be unlocking champions faster even before considering that you no longer have to buy runes and you can use champion shards directly for discounts.

Realistically, you ll get champions faster with the BE system. It literally took years to gain enough IP to buy all the champions before the change.
