What if we put BE gains in... mission rewards?

Just a random shower thought I had which kinda seemed like a potential "compromise," if you will, between going back to a constant gain at end of game to "do certain things, get small chunks of BE from mission rewards."

I personally never really focused on missions cause didn't see the rewards as being very... worth my time. And the fact they were "meh" conditions (like having to change icon. I personally hated that condition on top of 5 man premades. Though, I think that's popular opinion.)

If they ironed out the issues with missions, gave a daily 5-10 missions that gave some amount of BE, say, 100-200 daily total max, and had simple and engaging conditions to em, then I think that would suffice.

I do not want chores in my video games. I have quit several already due to how they interfere with me trying to enjoy a game how I want to.

That's what I mean by "simple conditions," where they should just be completed naturally, without the player having to go "out of their way" to do the majority of the missions.

i.e. "Win a game" - 20 BE "Place 5 control wards" - 40 BE (independent of single match) "Destroy 10 Turrets" - 20 BE (independent of single match) etc etc.

If you automatically complete them with no change in your habits then they’re pointless to add to the game, fwotd already exists.

Btw the control ward mission forces people to play summoner’s rift if they prefer other modes so your missions are already too restrictive.

fair enough.

So, my specific examples aren't perfect, but (now that I thought a bit harder on it) these missions should be set so as to help alleviate the void of BE between level up and FWOTD.

Riot just buffed champion unlock rates for players twice in a week compared to the old system. Are you saying you want a third buff?

... kinda. maybe not a straight buff, but more like taking a small portion off of the lump sum at level up and redistributing it such that it is available between level up and the bit attached to FWOTD they're adding. That way it doesn't look like a drought in terms of BE. It would help satisfy those who want to see some normal BE progress, rather than just watching EXP and waiting on the lump sum or the one daily bonus.
