I've decided to make this post due to thinking riot wont listen to newer players I've played league since very early season 1 and love this game dearly i always tell people what a good company riot is as i am also a avid gamer since i was 4 years old but as of this patch i see riot making a big mistake that might kill the game i put so much time into to give you idea of how much I've played i have over 8000 games logged and I'm not the best player but I am a player riot has built this company on lets get to the reason why i think that the b.e. system is a bad idea and will hurt the game so badly

1: new players will be less likely to want to play as they cant accomplish stuff in a timely manner via champ unlocks 2: Riot will earn less money from lower amount of new players not even wanting to play the game 3:Old players getting bored and leaving/taking a break due to also not getting unlocks fast enough 4: Riot loses more money due to old players not wanting to spend money anymore due to game player base getting smaller 5: Riot loses yet more money as long time players wont want to spend rp on something they used to earn 6: Long time players stop suggesting League to new players further lowering player count and again Riot profit

if i seem wrong look at games that have done this in the past they flounder and die i don't want to see this happen to league i don't mind them lowering orange essence value as they are a business and need to make money and cosmetic only stuff doesn't hurt the game one bit but game play changing things do effect them as a whole Riot i hop you please fix the system as a long time player i love your game i love your company please don't follow in E.A. Activision or 2K shoes you were built off of player's like me so please don't turn your back on us

Please upvote this to top of forums so riot can see it

Riot isn't Riot anymore. It's Riot - Made in China.

More to the point, Riot is trying to shamelessly copy OW's model for loot boxes since they were behind in the trend. This wouldn't be a problem if we actually got an actual skin/champ from each box. However, Riot still desires more $$$ since they're consumed by greed and because TenCent demands it.

One other thing to note is that balance and the overall game itself is centered around competitive play since that is what brings in the money. You think Riot cares about casual play? No, they don't, and they probably never will ever again. There's a reason why they removed older maps and permanent alternative gamemodes, they want people to play the ONE game type and hopefully go semi-pro or even pro so that the money keeps coming in. If this wasn't the case then URF would be permanent, the Crystal Scar would return and custom games would have options to mess around with (similar to OW).

Off-topic note: Riot also lacks any proper care for assassins since assassins are pubstompers that hardly ever appear in competitive play (when compared to the other classes). Pubstompers are for casual play, so yeah.....
