It seems the overwhelming consensus of the boards is that the new system sucks, but I can't be the only one who finds it to be a step in the right direction...right? I mean, we've gotten what we wanted: free runes and a way to unlock content previously hidden by a paywall. I understand that people like earning every game but to me, it's much more satisfying leveling up and getting a bigger return.
It is not overwhelming, it is just due to how much of the LoL community is made of spoiled brats that only say anything when they are maaaaaad.
The vast majority does not care and is getting on with things.
"Free runes" it is just a different mastery system, while removing runes entirely. Not bad for me, but not good either. I had the runes I needed, I wasn't going to buy anymore. (And I only had a few)
Hidden paywall content???? You mean the 50,000 gemstone or the 150,000 Urfwick. Yea those are definitely unlocked. Nothing got unlocked by this update. We get more capsules (seriously I never get honor capsules anymore), but that isn't new or hidden content. It is just accelerated slightly at the cost of something else.
It definitely isn't satisfying to me personally. 4 days, I got one shard. =\ that sucks Riot. YES, the one shard was worth more IP than 4 days otherwise would have been. But it still isn't a satisfying drop. At the same time, you have to look at the negatives. You are rewarded less from playing for long periods (popular complaint). AND the level grind will take longer and longer as you get higher, but the reward stays the same! So instead of 4 days for one shard, 8 or 10 or 15 days!!
Unlike MagicLlama. I am accepting, but I completely see why people are complaining. He is also not very mature if he is making fun of others.
