The Problem With Blue Essence

To put it simply we just aren't getting enough.

Before the update we would get a little IP each game, allowing us to buy champions and level up their masteries to levels 6 and 7, but now we only get about 50 a day with first win of the day. With the new system, we're more or less forced to start buying champions with RP and if we want to level up our champion masteries either play for 2 months straight or just start buying chests in bulk and hope you get higher priced champions shards. Sure we get a Champion Capsule each time our summoner level goes up, but it's so randomized. You're given no guarantee of how many champion shards you'll receive or much their even worth, and with a champion pool as large as Leagues, sometimes you can get only 2 shards both worth only maybe 70 BE or be lucky enough to get 3 shards worth over 1000 BE a piece, but again no guarantee. I hate that Riot has basically given in to loot boxes and mini purchases like every other game, which is rather funny since they try so hard to keep up the whole "we're a small indie game company" look even though they make millions a month.

All I ask for is that they spread out BE. At the end of every game, depending on performance, you could be given anywhere from 15 to 50 BE, and that first win of the day prize is increased to at least 100 BE. It cost 3900 BE to get your champion from mastery 6 to 7, which is ridiculous btw, and unless you're lucky enough to get the higher priced champion shards, get ready to binge League for another 3 days till your net level up only to learn that you're still 300 BE away.

Well....on my 2nd account I was able to amass 4700 IP before the BE update in under a week. Now I'm only getting like 200-1600 per week. It's disgraceful.

You are not "only getting 50 per day", you are discounting the amount that is gained from the champion capsules in this consideration.

"you're given no guarantee of how many champion shards you'll receive or much their even worth," This is not true. If you look at the values or read available information on the subject, you would see that there is a minimum value that is worthwhile. And because of that, the earlier statement...

"With the new system, we're more or less forced to start buying champions with RP" is demonstrated to not true in the framework of this argument and may be argued is even less so than before.
