The rate of Blue Essence is not fair, the rate of getting Blue Essence just gets worse as you climb higher and higher with levels. I'd like to see Blue Essence return (like IP) where you get a certain amount after every game depending on how well you did.
It is going to take me 10 and a half million years to even get enough for a Mystery Champion Shard.
WE NEED BLUE ESSENCE AFTER EVERY GAME!
The gains should be enough that you can CHOOSE which champion to buy, and not having the grind so pitifully slow most people are now relying on RNG from capsules to get 'cheaper' champions (which as you guessed it, you have about 1/140 chance of getting the champ you own) and Mystery Champion to get the fill, while purchasing champs directly because you want them specifically is now a luxury of sort.
That is bullshit. Purchasing champs directly should be the default option with RNG champ purchase on the side, not the other way around.
"It is going to take me 10 and a half million years to even get enough for a Mystery Champion Shard." yup, and now they disabled the mystery champion shard :) am leaving this game fuck it, i will just play it sporadically and either high or drunk af cus that what riot wants they dont care about the community
then how have I bought champions????
With this new system its borderline impossible to buy champions the soul reason Blue Essence was implemented in the first place. Quoted by Riot that they put it in so that new Summoners could more easily buy champions which is COMPLETE BS. If you level from 1-30 you will get about 11500 Blue Essence and about 16 random champion shards (COMPLETE RNG). They state that the average lvl up BE is about 900 BE. Who made this statistic after 2-3 levels I barely made 900 BE and I'm Level 38. It doesn't help that leveling up makes it longer to level up the next time. Before people who played 4 games a day could get about 400-500 (THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO PLAY 10-15 games a day) IP, but now you have to play 8 games just to lvl up and get maybe 500 BE depending on pure Luck. But wait theres more if you get a champ thats worth 6300 you will only 2 shard maybe not even 2. Not to mention that they made ranking up mastery cost more and they removed the only current way of getting champs over 4800 BE champs by removing the Mystery champ permanent shard. They should honestly just return the IP system.
Would just like to add a comment because this thread is dead but this topic is still pressing.. RIOT has not answered any threads on this and i think it's simply cause they made the IP to BE switch for more money. Fix your game pls.
this is true but people like me who have had every champion before be became a thing are set for 8 champions even if we dont play more if we do play.
I just had a post on the same thing! https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/Jjvuzq8E-riot-be-discussion TT~TT
