A word about the new blue essence system
Well the blue essence is helpful for new players leveling up from 1 to 30 and is also helpful for vets who can increase their masteries further. But what about the players who recently just got to LVL 30 before preseason and have around 12 champions so far? It has gotten harder to get champions now. Leveling up from 30 to 31 usually takes 3 days for me and the reward I get is around 800 BE. This is bad. I could get 800 IP in a day by just playing bot matches if I wanted to grind for a champion. And the champion shards I get don't give me nearly enough BE to get a new champion. It would be better if I could fuse champion shards then I could at least get a champion per LVL up. But no I have to disenchant all my shards if they are not the champion I want. I'm a new player and still looking for a champion in which I can invest my time in so I have to be selective in buying the champion. I can't use the new mystery champion shard system (great by the way since the new update which guarantees you will not loose be) because I don't know which champion I will get. And all my previous IP boosters disappeared out of no where Like "poof." Couldn't you have changed them into XP boosters since you won't be getting IP and only XP from now on? So what I want to say is it has become more of a grind to get champions for players who have just recently reached LVL 30 then the previous system and I would like riot to look into this.
