Riot sppears to have secretly nerfed the minimum BE of the level-up capsule

SEKAI·8/14/2018, 3:18:12 PM·51 votes·17,655 views

This isn't the first day where I get level-up capsule that contains total BE lower than 880, the promised minimum (iirc), and it probably won't be the last. I have gotten 810 and I have gotten 700 something total BE from level-up capsules before.

Please do not engage in this kind of shady practices, Riot please.

Hello. There was no change implemented or intended. If you got less than 810, reach out to support and we'll follow up. If there is a bug we'd love to find it.

I thought 810 was the minimum?

Tbh I hate your BE value being RNG based.

I'd rather get 700 BE than Singed Poppy Amumu And disenchanting all for a whopping 270 BE FeelsBadMan

Also, i've noticed that you can get shards for 4800 BE champs out of hextech crates. LMFAOOOOO if you arent gonna give me a damn skin shard at least make it so i can only get 6300 be champs, ffs. Stop fucking us rito.

You always get BE from leveling up? What?

You mean with factoring in dusting the shards it gives, or do you actually get real, legit BE when you level?

I have never gotten anywhere near 700+ loose BE upon a level.

More likely to be a bug than any sort of nerf to it.

Each capsule I get the equivalent of Ashe Garen and Cho'Gath + 90 BE. Fucking ridiculous. Bring back the old IP system where you actually get rewarded for playing games.

Well, in riot's defense they aren't really releasing new champs anymore and you don't have to pay for runes. It's not like there are a lot of things you can do with BE nowadays.

So basically now you need 12 winned games to level up and get 870 be , 12 games on old system winned would bring you 12 x 70-80 ip , while first win of the day would give you 250 ip

Making calcs 12 x 70-80= would be around 840-960 ip + 250 from first win of the day like 1200 ip every level up ,and you get right now somewhere about 780 be -880 be most often , while only at lvl stoones you get more high rewards , so idk it's seems strange this rewarding system from this point

so if you play daily is less effective for you , and even if you play ocasionally is same , the only thingh where you could earn more much is when you find an shard about an champion you wish , then you pay half of his price in be ... , but that's not happening very often so i assume maybe this system should get an small buff...

As if you pay 6300 to buy an champion directly it feels lit ... when you need about 8 levels to get an 6300 champion

I understand the whole system they have in place, but I imagine it would be a whole lot more rewarding to be able to gain BE after each game, like the old IP system. I highly doubt they would implement a system to allow you to gain it after every game instead of after 10 games, but it would be nice.

Riot also gives less BE for Champion Permenants. Permenants should be full BE cost.

The whole rune rework along with the removal of IP have been complete and utter failures. Revert this shit game to S5 and we're good.

No evidence what-so-ever for anything stated.

I am not saying you are not correct, but whenever I have brought this up it turns out some of the BE is just incredibly delayed. I once got around 600 BE and I posted about it, but the next time I Iogged on about 5 hours later I had the extra 200+ BE. Sometimes it will happen if I exit or change lobbies too, sometimes it will just pop up a few minutes later. It is rare, but it does happen.

Not saying this is the case for you, but just putting it out there that this is a thing.

no I've gotten ~300-500 more than 7-8 times so far on my new account lmao. and I swear am not lying.

I quit playing on my low level account. because of that.

at least 60% of my capsules were 90BE + garen+ a 1350 champ

Was it on a new account? because it's always been like that for sub 30 accounts in the new system

Lakega8/15/2018, 5:48:29 AM1 votes

never understood the complaints and whining about BE... You get free Runes now.. I remember 5 years ago grinding my ass off at lvl 30 just to buy 2 full pages of tier 3 runes.. took me weeks... You get that shit for free now...

Back then I didnt get champion shards, free champion skins, and a bunch of other shit either that I had to save up for.. This also saves you BE in the long run for new accounts, save your champ shards, gg. Or just sell them, even so, some champ shards are worth 3 cheap champions..

Wtf is BE for anyway? I'm sitting on like 300k of that useless crap with nothing to spend it on..

Didn't Riot secretly nerf the ratio of skins you'd get out of chests as well? Or was this just something that floated about?

I believe it was somewhere along the lines of: "Don't worry guys, this won't negatively impact the game! See? Look at all of this cool stuff you could get!"

Nerfs the ratio now that the population has adopted this idea in moderation

Kind of like pushing a turtle into a cooking pot and cranking the heat up overtime.

wow than ive been getting jipped this whole time, i only get 500....

RayleighTT8/15/2018, 1:02:54 PM1 votes

You need about 12 wins to make 3200 xp , that in old system would give you 12 x 86 like more than you take for level up , if you count daily reward you woulded get 250 ip just for first win.
