We aren’t all millionaires

TheFirstStar··2 votes·334 views

So I can understand u wanting to update everything with league of legends but changing IP to Blue essence wasn’t the best idea and neither are the runes. With the way the new runes are set out we basically need to make one for every champ there is... now I think I speak for the majority of you OCE players when I say we aren’t made of money... we can’t afford to buy the rune pages to make one for each champ and changing them at the start of each game... well there just isn’t enough time... at all... And as for the hextech crafting... you have basically made it useless... no longer being able to re roll champion shards has just made it 10x harder for people to own all the champs not to mention they disenchant for bacisally nothing... so if u all ready own that champ... to bed looks like your getting jack all Blue essence for it instead... now I’m a single mother I don’t have the time to play all day every day to get enough Blue essence to get the champs and I defiantly don’t have enough money to buy them with cash... so re rolling from my occasional chest was amazing it meant I got to try out a new champ once I got 3 shards to re roll As well as I miss being able to have my basic rune pages and then different masteries to compliment the champs... and by changing everything you have just left so many good champions in the dust because they don’t roll over well with the new runes... This game was the thing I used to do to relax after a long day with my son but now... it’s just not fun anymore... I’m sorry RIOT GAMES but you have really ruined the game this time... please think about the people who play this FREE TO PLAY game when u start charging an arm and a leg for everything... Yours sincerely BRATTYKAT13 (one very annoyed and disappointed player)

You ARE Aware you can just edit the rune page in champion select right? And how have they made it any harder? They said themsleves that the rate you earn champions is the EXCAT same as it is now, maybe even faster. You earn a new champ everytime you level up, so whats the problem?

Riot added 15 seconds to the timer at the end to finish your setup. If you know what each path does and knows which runes go with each champion, you shouldn't need more time for it than you needed to select the Masteries in the last 7 Seasons. All it takes is some time and familiarity with the new system.

And as for the hextech crafting... yadda yadda single mother - no time yadda yadda

There is a post of a Rioter with the maths for it, but I've failed to find it. For casual players, the amount of IP per game will actually be increased due to First Win of the Day XP bonus. For hardcore players, the amount will be slightly lower until they reach the milestone every 10 levels, at which will be increased by about 2000 to 5000 extra IP than they'd get on this current system.

If you have few champions and happen to receive a shard for it, the IP:Games ratio becomes even better.

and by changing everything you have just left so many good champions in the dust because they don’t roll over well with the new runes

I'm not sure if you have played this game during any other pre-season. It's always a mess. Riot will eventually manage to balance it out to a semi-decent degree after a few patches once a Meta has been created and they get better data.

We aren’t all millionaires now I’m a single mother I don’t have the time to play all day every day to get enough Blue essence to get the champs and I defiantly don’t have enough money to buy them with cash...

Then there's some good news that you should be happy about because Riot both increased the earn rate while removing a massive amount of Influence Point burden from the game so players are now freed from whatever level of handicap they had from not being being able to or being unwilling to either grind into or buy to the previous rune system. In terms of lack of time/money, the changes to the rune and hextech systems puts you into an objectively better situation than you were in before.

changing them at the start of each game... well there just isn’t enough time... at all...

That is what I and every player I have_ ever seen_ have been doing for the mastery system we've had for the past two years. And now, there are even less options to choose from.
