Why has Riot removed getting IP (or BE) after matches?

This is the classic way of grinding in video games and I don't understand why Riot added these champion capsules for levelling up, which half the time give you champions you either want, or sell for a small 960 (more or less) blue essence, when the champions that most people want are around 2880 to make permanent.

Even somewhere around 100 - 200 BE would be great, personally.

I sincerely hope they do add a reasonable amount of BE earned after a game.

Both ways are classic ways of grinding, games have often had leveling up as a way of grinding, final fantasy for example and most other RPG style games.

Why they did it? Beyond me I have no idea but for me and my friend that plays I can honestly say we've had no issues getting blue essence and grinding through levels.

It's rare to see a MATCH-BASED game not reward you with currency per game.

But just because it's rarer in match based games doesn't make it an invalid way of doing it and you didn't state in match based games it was classic you said video games which covers all types meaning both styles are classic ways of grinding.

To recoupe losses from HotS actually starting to grow due to its easily accessible market (Bliz boys) and generally more casual style, League is becoming dota2 and HotS is gonna be league in a few years, down to toxic meta slaves

granted i still like my champ pool better here, but sometimes i think the game is running its course

but why change? what are the devs thinking? they are changing core things about the game which could damage it.

riot is making changes that wont hurt their pocket, they're trying to grow the game right now anyways.

you know the project skins were stolen from fan made content right?

You know most of the original 40 champs were stolen from fan made concepts too right?

Zero credit was given. None, Zip, zilch.

Not even a shoutout or acknowledgement that might land these dudes a job at bliz, bethesda, or EA if they wanted.

they ban you without a thought, they're putting forced representation of token minorities into the game, and widening their approach to marketing. seeing noob commercials and whatnot.

everything is getting simplified. the first 30 levels fly by, so essentially you'll be getting capsules every few games when you first start, then after a bit you wont get many.

bonus game mode has gone to a new level of overhype, with flashy shit like project. I had high hopes when i saw the star guardian event, but it seems like it's just another marketing ploy

[slayer-jinx-unamused] well thats the thing with like all businesses. just in it for the money, which you can't really argue about.
