The problem with Blue Essence

I think this currency system that has replaced the old one is literally awful. Your telling me that I can't even gain any blue essence by playing games and only by leveling up? Half the time I open up these champion shards I get for leveling I get like 1-2 champions shards that are worth 90 (total 180 if I sold them both) and that's less than I would ever get playing league a full day, you can't even level up in a full days worth of gameplay in league. This is Riot literally sneaking in ways to make customers buy RP to get champions now and with all the new cosmetic in the games. No one is gonna save up 75k worth of blue essence for and emote so guess what Riot says "Why not buy with real money to get the chest to get blue essence and get that amazing emote you want!" Please Riot either make it where you get blue essence per game now or revert back to the original game currency. I'm currently playing on a new account and I struggle to literally get a 450 champion let alone 6300 playing almost the whole day. The only one who benefit from this change of currency is people who literally have played the game their whole life and has everything and are just stacking IP (blue essence).

You level up by playing games, it's functionally the same system: Play games -> slowly acquire currency -> spend the currency on champions.

Half the time I open up these champion shards I get for leveling I get like 1-2 champions shards that are worth 90 (total 180 if I sold them both)

Minimum value for a level up capsule after level 30 is 810 BE. On average over the long run you will gain BE faster than you would earn IP in the old system.
