Sooooooooo..... They absolutely learnt nothing from the feedback then? they literally stated that they change the system because of the feedback and 2 sentences later say that they dont change the system?!? I am really confused at this point. Its not hard to implement a system like this other games do it good and for free (Smite for example). You dont NEED to monetize the shit out of everything. Whats next paying 500rp to be able to use the legacy cursor? to unlock every 50k champion mastery 850rp? beeing able to play ranked 50rp per game? Just do it and do it for free stop shitting on your community. and i would have commented on the dev blog but you cant post there with a non NA account , gj btw.

ill go eat some tacos fuck this.[zombie-nunu-bummed]

Well before, 2 Common and a Unique per champion cost 850 RP. Now 3 Commons cost 225 RP, and 3 Uniques cost 590 RP. You're still paying for achievements though, which was the entire cause for the backlash to begin with, so a price reduction isn't really a solution here.

I think the real problem is that they went and built this whole thing expecting to monetize it. They likely put a lot of time a resources into this because of those expectations. The actual features are cool and interesting, but they needed to talk to the fanbase about this before creating eternals.

They would've quickly learned that 1) We would love to see this and 2) Monetizing it would be very polarizing.

I'm still not sure why they haven't introduced paid voiceover packs. I've seen people asking for it for YEARS and many people would gladly pay money for them.

I think they need to send out more feelers on big things like this so they don't blow up in their face

Also please dont hit me with the "the game is free they need to make money" BS . Look up how much cash they make first and then try saying that again. they could implement this free no problem. it would only have a positive impact on the community, which would be a nice change for once.

Its kinda whatever too be honest, people had predicted this would happen and personally I'm still not a major fan for payed achievement so while I'm sure many people enjoy this change, personally I'll treat this as little legends eggs and just pretend they're not even a part of the shop.

Nice to see you'll be able to buy the basic ones for BE. I wish the rare ones would be available for be if you hit a good sized mastery threshold.

"850 RP was too much for one champion's Eternals, you guys were right."

"Ok thank you. So, are you gonna make them free or are we just going with, like, 250 RP per champion?"

"What? No. Now it's 590 for the unique ones and 225 for the commons."

"...so it's 815 per champion now?"

"Don't worry, you can get the commons for free... twice a year... until we decide to cancel the Emporiums like we did Treeline, Dominion, and Rotating Gamemodes."

People will still find a way to make Riot look evil with that article.
