Stop being stingy Riot.
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.
