Why the Orange Essence change in value?

Brownie Elfie·Nov 24, 2017·3 votes·569 views

I seriously dont understand why orange essence was changed. Blue essence I get since it was an attempt to reform how people got champions and add depth to leveling, but what does that have to do with orange essence. For an example to show you how bad it is, I have a pretty high quality skin shard: Zombie Brand, a legendary skin It costs 1520 orange essence to upgrade to perm, but it only gives 364 orange essence. Thats not even enough to upgrade safari caitlyn Can anyone please shed some light on why this change happened? I'm not trying to criticize Riot for anything cuz im more than grateful for free stuff, but I just want to know why.

Except, CHAMP SHARDS are not free stuff we are getting. They are literally the only way to make progress to play the game. Emotes are not free stuff we are getting. "Runes" are not free stuff we are getting.

We hardly got any new free stuff.

Skins are free stuff, orange essecne is what you use to unlock that free stuff.

I agree. But Riot said the reason OE is going down is because we are going to get so much free stuff that it has to go down.... I haven't gotten any since patch. And I am not complaining about it, just saying I am not getting all this free stuff Riot was talking about.

@OP, It was a sad day. I had to disenchant all my good shards like ZOMBIE BRAND among many others that I wanted to keep.

Riot said we would get MORE Skin shards, but I have not opened a single skin shard. Even if I did, it wouldn't give me OE to make anything. It might be a change to help people who buy more chests, but even those people said they are complaining.
