We Need more Orange Essence and Blue Essence

Digital Daddy··33 votes·11,960 views

Currently at the moment it's kinda roulette with 5 bullets loaded in a revolver for these incomes I get a box, I get a skin shard of a 975 RP skin, that's not bad, but it takes 675 OE to unlock it, 1050 OE to unlock a epic skin 750 RP skins go for - 150 OE 975 RP skins go for - 195 OE 1350 RP skins go for - 270 OE It ends up taking forever. I know "Oh but it's free why are you complaining" I'm complaining cause, I earned those from playing good/I Bought those chests. My suggestion to make OE income more profitable would be to, Make them disenchant for more, or make it where you have to wait less to get another ready chest, or make skin shards cheaper. Cause when you get a reward you have to work for even though it says it's a reward is kinda dumb

Now on to Blue Essence. It's way too slow, you level up but sometimes you get poor champions that go for 90 essence and it just is a real kick in the back to players that don't want to play every waking minute of the day just to grind levels for BE. I'd say a guaranteed 3150 champion to disenchant for 630 BE, or have it where it gives you BE based on how many games you played to level up/ what they were, how long they were. Kinda like IP.

Idk i guess i'm kinda running my mouth with ideas that either don't make sense or have a lot of holes in it. Feel free to tell me your ideas and correct me in the comments.

It's really dumb that getting ride of a skin gives so little orange essence, but the skins cost so much. And buying a champion through its shard isn't that great either because you only save what, 1k essence? It's mostly a problem for me because I haven't got a skin in my chests for months now. I don't mind it too much because I don't own all the champions. And I'm trying not to complain about free stuff. It just doesn't make all that much sense to me? Why create a system that we can't really use. It's a great system so let us use it!

But to be fair, it is the premium currency of the game, it isn't intended to be easy to get a skin from it. I see it as a way to incentivize plaers to use RP to buy more chests, to bypass the "buy one once every 4 month" system

I know, I'm not trying to complain too harshly or be ungrateful. But maybe if there was a way to buy Orange essence? I just dont want to buy a chest that has a small chance of containing something i can disenchant for it. At that point i might as well buy the skin :/ RNG within RNG within RNG

Unpopular opinion I guess, but Riot doesn't have to give out any skins, they have 0 gameplay impact and the game does need financial support from the players. I'm fine with the orange, not too happy about the state of blue essences though.

On a side note, this is the only micro transaction game I've ever spent money on.

I mostly agree. The only difference between us seems to be that I have enough BE for my purposes though. OE... I consider them to be quite generous with it (and even little bit stupid financially) since they give us free skin shards (and even skins themselves) via loot system. Every free skin they give away is potentially less money for them to keep the company running. So in my opinion the pace they give the skins away is faster than I consider 'wise'.

Orange essence I think is a hard balance but it's frustrating just because of the fact you use to get more.

And from these crates the blue definitely needs to be altered it incredibly frustrating to spend 2k rp for having a chance of getting pathetic amounts of blue essence out of 11 chest.

Riot found out that people were getting way to many skins for free so they decided to gut their number. You are literally forced to either buy skins or buy chests and play gamble 'cause in chests you can get 50-50. champ shard or skin.

They seem to not have enough money from LCS so they want it from community...

They lowered the disenchant cost from 1/3 to 1/6. I think that is reasonable since they may lose some revenue. However, it feels so shit getting yet another champ shard from the chests we worked so hard to get, so I think they should pick only one of those features.

I feel like they should at least separate the boxes. If you spent money on a box then amount you disenchant/re-roll/skin shards/gemstones should be higher then the ones you earn. I know this will be unpopular opinion since its looked at as bad business practice even though this type of lootboxs in my opinion are fine. No content you need is locked by hind the box. Note: Riot that doesn't mean Nerf the ones you earn k?keep as is.

Not gonna complain about the skins, but i will say my opinion about the BE, Lately i was thinking of change my name i collected the BE needed which is 14k, alright now i have changed it, and i regret my choice of changing my name in the first place. i was thinking this is last time to collect them to change it, but.. another 14k BE right? another 14 Levels, and leveling takes too long for example only from 1~10 is kinda.. ok but after that 15 levels which exp only going up for 500 Exp from 3000 exp to 3,500 exp in 15 levels? this is sucks and needs to be solved.

i play this game for fun but im wasting lot of time just because i made a mistake which costs me 30 Levels, it will be 1 month + put in mind all that to change my in game name, Not even to buy champions or Leveling up mastery champions?

so what if i want to buy champions? what if i want to change my in game name? what if i want to level up champions mastery score? im playing since 2014 season 4, i understand with time i get some BE but its not enough yet, i need more everytime i get some i need more..

@Riot its Blue Essence Not Skins Not RP don't be stingy. The basics of the game is Blue Essence don't make it like RP.

I've been buying skins through blue essence from the Champion Shards, but it's rarely a character I truly want to play. Same goes for skin shards, they're usually for champs I don't own, and I have a good number of champs.

hate myself when i finally get a key to open hextech chest just to get a stupid champion shard when it's already unlikely to get a good skin and as you mentioned we never have enough orange essence..

I am fine with the current state of BE, but earning an S rank and getting a super nice skin shard from it, only to not be able to get the skin, is heartrending. Even more so is when you keep getting good shards, so you don't want to disenchant any of them, so you never get any OE, so you stare teary eyed at the cool skins you won by being awesome, but which will always be slightly out of reach. I feel like Tantilus. Amumuitem 3070 item 3070 item 3070 item 3070 item 3070 item 3070
