I can't be playing this game for 13 hours a day, I have college and other stuff to do.. at this rate It'd take me nearly a month to get a 6.3k champ....
How long would it take to get all the champions ? 5 years ?
Come on riot.... there are already 150+ champions or somethings and your blue essence system is straight up bullshit. Either fix that shit or reduce the price of champions...
This is unreal.
You can't get less than like 900 BE from a level up(At least past level 30), so you must have done your math wrong to begin with.
There's zero reason to need all of the champions(Other than to trade with teammates), as it's 100% impractical to actually play them all regularly. Don't worry so much about unlocking them all, just enjoy the game and buy the champs you actually want to play. A 6300 champ can be afforded every 6-7 levels gained, minimally. That's not counting if you happen to get a higher price champ shard to disenchant(Or the Glorious Capsules every 10 levels). There's no need to be in a hurry to Unlock "all the content" - It's not a console game that you're trying to complete.
Rito how long till I get all these champions I am never going to use?
It took me about 3 years to get all champions being primarily a free to play player. (hommies got me RP cards as gifts over the years and I used some of them to unlock champions.) I Started in season 1. Plus Runes had to be unlocked so I was crippled playing most of them until I realized I needed Stop unlocking champions and focus on filling out full sets of runes and also needed to own multiple rune pages to account for playstyles and matchups. There was no role selection then so if you did not want to get dicked in off roles you needed a champion or two in each position and workable rune pages for them.
A blank Rune page costed 6300. To fill that page was additional IP. quints ran at a cost of 515 1025 2050. So best case was 1545, worst was 6150. Just for Quints. 9x marks, seals, glyps? Running a cost of 102,205,410,820. So the very worst case single rune page could set you back 28,290 IP (+ 6300 if its on a page you had to buy.) This affected all champions because if you did not have runes the other guys who did had a inherent gameplay advantage over you.
its always been a Grind that takes you Years if your F2P.
As someone who is new to the game I think it's definitely a little disheartening to see so many champs that all cost 6,300 and to think of how long the grind is going to be to just get the champs you want. Not to mention that you also have to buy rune pages past the two free ones you get. I have some of the champs that I like, but I also don't have enough Rune Pages to play them effectively, and I don't have the knowledge or memory to change my runes on the spot
Don't worry, once you get all the champs you'll have a shit load of BE, nothing to spend it on, and then continue to get a shit load of champ shards that dont have any purpose.
back in the ol' days you would get around 100 IP every game x 5 (average games I play daily) = 500 IP
requires you to play 10 games to level up (roughly) = 1000 IP = 500 - 870 BE cause most of the time I disenchant essence
when I open capsule 3/10 it's 450 champ + champ I don't play, or 5/10 champ I don't play and it's 3150 BE champ 1/10 times I get 6300 BE champ and 80% of them I disenchant cause I don't want them or I already have them once again
How long would it take to get all the champions?
Let's do some approximated math. To make things easier, this will be starting at level 30 and somehow you own no champions or BE (not possible, but I don't feel like doing the math on 1-30.) These calculations are assuming you play 4 games a day and have exactly a 50% winrate.
Every champion combined currently costs 573000 BE, or 343800 if you unlock them via champion shard (champion shards can be turned into permanent for 60% of the cost of buying them outright)
The average game lasts 28-29 minutes, which will net you about 160 xp for a loss, or 190 xp for a win. average that to 175xp per game. Add 400 XP for FWOTD, that's 1100 XP every day.
The average level takes 3172 xp (3057 avreage from 30-49, but again, this is just an approximation, so using 3172) It would take 2.88 days per level, which I'm going to round to 3 to make things easier.
You gain an average of 910 BE per capsule, or 2120 BE every 10 levels for the larger capsule. Add 150 BE for fwotd and you get 1060 BE per level with 2270 every 10.
It would take you until level 322 to get the BE required to purchase every champion from a champion shard, or level 516 to buy them outright.
If you average 1 level every 3 days, that's either 876 days (2.4 years) or 1548 days (4.2 years).
The actual number is a bit less than that since I rounded up, ignored 1-30, and ignored the average for levels 30-49. So figure it would take between 2-4 years playing 4 games a day to unlock every champion.
