Hey cool, hextech crate! I wonder what I'll get!

I don't know in which universe people responsible for BE live, but it surely isn't this one.

How exactly BE would pay out better than IP, after 15 level ups my average BE per level is 890 and in the same number of games of the same length over the same number of days required to get from level 30 to 31 I'd get ~1100 IP.

The best part? The XP requirement to level up rises until it resets at level 50 - it goes up by 38.5% - which means I have to progressively have to play more and more games to level up to get the same reward, while in the old system I'd be getting more IP for playing more games.

PS. I've done the comparison assuming 2 games a day with 50% winrate. The more games a day you play, the worse are results for BE.

HOW LONG MUST I PLAY THIS GAME D:< WAS 5 YEARS NOT ENOUGH?!? REEEEEEEEEEE

you are talking bullsht then. Because I was playing at xp boost since lvl 15 before IP got changed into be and 1 week after I got lvl 30 I had all champs needed to play ranked games. Like a month ago I did sum up of 48 games I played. I barely got 4800 BE for Ahri (starting from 950 BE). Counting IP and taking average game time I would get a champ for 6300 with no problem or basically 7000 IP.

bought all tier 3 runes and another page

Maybe that was your problem.

Things are really not worse than they were, it's just people from way back seem to have forgotten just how fuckin slow it has always been.

Excuse me? Things are not worse than they were? Are you out of your mind?

Unless you are getting 6300-tier champion shards every level you are getting less BE than you'd get IP.

We know how slow it was, and Riot made it more RNG based. I didn't use any money to unlock anything in this game, and after 5 years I have 11 rune pages, and all but like 12 champs. If we could get BE from each game as opposed to FWOTD or level ups, it would be much smoother. Or if we were more likely to get shards for champs we don't own, as we can use the shard for a cheaper buy. Kled shard can be made perm for 3780 BE, which is great because it's a little more than half but it's so random of a chance to get the champ you want.

No, but I have tried buying a 10+1 Hextech bundle and literally got nothing I wanted.

Coral Reef Malphite Karma Hextech Janna Lord Darius Alistar Bouquet ward skin Katarina Lee Sin Forsaken Olaf Viking Tryndamere Bloodfury Renekton

The ward skin was the only one I unlocked, and even that was the one I wanted the least of all ward skins. And I've owned all champions since Christmas last year. And the skins were rubbish too.

So that was 11 EUR I'll never see again, nor got ANY value from - and the promise of Tencent not getting a single EUR ever again too. So well done them, for taking such good care of their once-upon-a-time loyal customers.

Electronic gambling, where the whole system is fixed and corporate greed reigns supreme.

If they don't preemptively mute them already. That's why I'm against them costing RP. You pay money for something a lot of people just mute.
