I Feel For Players New And Old

I feel you, both sides of the coin. I feel you. New Players: This overhaul in Pre-Season is just right for y'all. Truly. It's going to help introduce players to good ol' LoL and get them into a good spot where they can say "I'm progressing. I'm not grinding too much (or it doesn't feel that way). I'm being rewarded justly." They deserve this just like I did -or everyone did- when I first started back in 2013. They deserve to have fun and feel like they are getting rewarded properly.

Old Players... I guess I classify as a LoL vet. I own everyone. I buy them newly released champs with IP. I may drop some cash for their skins. I own a ton of skins. I love this game. Many others feel the same and behave the same. The overhaul... just isn't for us? We hardly get any retroactive rewards for our hardwork. I saw some rioter (Maybe Cactopus?) say something about "emotes" for these players, but... seriously? An emote? ....I have level 7 masteries on a couple champs that I grinded for and deserve to flash. But an emote? For years of dedication? For all the money I've spent? ... an emote is what we may be rewarded with? Not a border that comes with an icon that says "AY FAM. I SANK MY SOUL INTO THIS GAME TO THE POINT THAT I'M NOT SURE I HAVE ONE ANY MORE!" Even more, with the level cap increasing - not sure to what, I may have read over it- we all start at 30! I'll reference this sentence in a bit. The level up rewards seem great!... for people who are new or don't have... well every champion and want emotes.
Personally, I say this because there may be some vets who don't agree and that's cool, I want a retroactive reward system. "Hey, you put so many hours in league or earned this much XP past level 30! Here's some chests that can give you BE, a champ skin, or something new! Nothing is guaranteed!" Example: I'm 30 now and if I went from 30 200 for some reason. That's 170 levels. Make it 17 chests that we get! WIth say 2 or 3 drops each! No chances for gem stones. Chances for things stated above. Or round up/down to a multiple of 5. So 17 could be 15 or 20! (I'd say 20 :P) I didn't just come up with this idea... another, newer MOBA did. Paragon. They recently had a massive overhaul where the level cap went from 50 to 99. Their veteran players were granted chests based off how much they played. They were rewarded accordingly. Their loot/chest system was reworked at the same time as well. It was great! (I definitely don't play Paragon a ton, I do a little, but I have IRL friends that got a ton of stuff because of how much they play)

Maybe it's asking for too much. But frankly, Riot, this update is a slap in the face for veteran players! You're doing absolutely great things with the new players in terms of level up rewards, runes, and BE/IP stuff. But for the rest of us... your loyal players I say this: RitoPlz.
Cater to the new players. Help the enjoy it. But don't abandon us veterans. We deserve something more than a simple emote for the dedication we have. We deserve more than the "BE Store" (since Currently I'd probably hit ~40,000-~90,000 depending on the formulas I've been seeing for conversion) We deserve better than a simple slap in the face.

Thanks Riot, you're helping the noobies out to enjoy your game (I'll restate, that's great!) but it looks like you simply don't want to put any effort into us veterans and that hurts. RitoPlz
