Stop being stingy Riot.

Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet

Lets get one thing out of the way. Heroes of the Storm or HOTS for short, if you all don't know, HOTS just recently-ish came out with something extremely similar to what Riot is about to roll out. Level cap raised, loot for every level, a merge of currency, etc.

It seems like an amazing change, one that I was excited to see come to League. What I didn't realize is how awful Riot is implementing this change, in the picture I provided they say they weren't aiming this towards newer players, well this is just not true. It is blatantly obvious that their intent is to put everyone on an even playing field. They don't want someone who has played since season 2 to have a 'boost' and leave someone who started playing last year behind. Their extremely infuriating excuse that 'we didn't want to release a feature where a majority of players will skip ahead' is baffling.

What Riot **actually **means is "We don't want to give out dozens or even hundreds of loot chests to so many people"

Do you know what HOTS did? HOTS leveled people up appropriately, I was over level 160 after the HOTS changed rolled out, do you know how many chests I got? Something along the lines of 140.

Stop lying and choosing to ignore and harm your veteran players because you are too afraid to lose a buck.

And no, I do not even want to discuss the insane Rune -> BE conversion costs here.

HoTS is like 2 years old. League is like 8. I would probably (by HoTS metric) be level 1000+ Don't even pretend that what HoTS gave out is even close to the amount of shit that riot would have to give out.

I feel we shouldn't take ideas from the Socialist Moba

I'd like to have my prior games count towards my level, but I don't want all those rewards.

I don't want to spend three hours opening chests.

"I dont want to get free stuff because I dont went to spend time opening the free stuff" is that even a real complaint

Correct me if I'm wrong but you are suggesting that riot gives vetaran players free levels initially and therefore free chests at the start of the season. As a veteran player, I do not want my end of season rewards wasted on RNG chests. I prefer riot keep the current method of zero free levels and zero free chests and instead just give us BE to spend on a market.

You will still get end of season rewards so idk what your complaint is exactly.

uh, no

I personally would much rather have it gradually, so I can actually complete the quests instead of getting tons of loot

Just something that should be mentioned, HoTS heroes are much more expensive that LoL ones.
