League of Grind

Ever since the changes to blue essence and IP, I feel like it had just become a lot more grindy than before. Before the combo of BE and IP, it was not too difficult. But now, all the grinding it takes just to get a chest, that might only give you 90 blue essence. I feel like this is unfair when we have champions to buy, rune pages, and upgrading mastery tokens (Upgrading to mastery 6 is 3250, upgrading to 7 is 3900) Maybe this is just me, but if we could get some blue essence after every match. My point overall is that, having to grind 10 levels just to get enough blue essence to upgrade one set of tokens, or to buy another champion.

There has never been and there never will be grinding in League. Grinding is a self inflicted feeling because someone is in a hurry instead of just playing the game like normal and enjoying it. You did it to yourself.

everything you said i have and many others have said before. 2 weeks ago you couldn't scroll through 5 posts before running into a BE post

right now i've got 2 mastery level 6 champions which is 6500BE thats the cost of a new champion which makes no sense at all, Its almost like they are trying to force people to buy champions with RP aka a paywall.

when you lose you get a tiny bit of XP only to leave it up to RNG to determine if you get enough BE when you level up and even if you get a 6300 champ that you really want you have to level up again and play like 10-12 games and more RNG. Its to many hoops to jump through.

A lot aren't happy with the BE changes and especially the OE change so maybe they'll change it.

I think why the new BE system feels so terrible is that it's a dual grinding system. You not only have to save up BE for a champ, but you also have to lvl up to get BE. The one system of IP before was fine, and a somewhat enjoyable / trackable process. The 2 systems should not be related imo, it just creates too much to save up for, which feels absolutely terrible.

The min blue essence is definitely higher than 90 op
