The BE System for leveling feels more of a punishment than rewarding

Imagine this, you have 2900 essence and you need 250 essence more to get a 3150 champion. Your level 24 and you need to play over 10 games in order to level up because the leveling EXP Cap is around 2000k+.

You have to wait till you level up for just a small amount of essence. Essence that you could've gotten in a matter of 2-3 games in the old system.

This feels like a lot of time consuming for just that bit of essence.

When I wanted Vi, I had to play over 30 games in order for the essence to add up to 4800. It was exhausting and I got tired of grinding an entire day just to level up once or twice a day.

I remember how I even mapped it out by saying "Ok today is Monday, by Sunday I should be at this level and rewarded enough essence to get THIS ONE CHAMPION if I play for almost the entire day, everyday." By the time it was Wednesday I couldnt no longer. It's as if you have to devote your entire soul to league of legends everyday to get what you want, it feels horrible.

I want to illustrate it for you all my experience a bit better.

This is what you earn as you level. Pretend you made a new account and you wanna buy Jinx. You have to level up to 11 to get 6300. Once you buy her, you have 0 essence. Now you want to buy Vi, you have to level from 12 to level 20. Thats a HUUUUUUUUGE amount of games you have to play in order to get that ONE champion. I'm telling you, it's exhausting.

That's how it was in the old system though. Usually you'd get only two 6300 IP champs (if that's what you wanted) before you hit level 30. And you wouldn't even be able to buy anything else.

New accounts aren't supposed to be buying only 6300 champions. They are supposed to be buying the cheaper, more balanced, easier champions while they learn the game mechanics.

Honestly, I'm just glad we don't have to buy runes anymore. Leveling up was basically just getting IP to get runes so you could be relevant at 30. The fact that runes don't cost anything anymore means it's not as bad that BE is harder to get. I believe the rates for BE should be adjusted, but it's not the worst situation possible.

It may seem less rewarding because you don't get IP per game, but the fact you don't have to buy runes anymore, and can still get 4 free champions through special offers you end up making more than you ever would in the old system,
