BLUE ESSENCE for REROLLS IN ARAMS, thank you!
Easy way to deal with players who have alot of essence, but have nothing to spend it on.
As a long time player now, I have racked up BE on multiple accounts. When i did play league more seriously, I'd play arams from time to time to take a break from ranked. I'd be more than happy to enjoy those arams a bit more if i could reroll at a reasonable(not those absurd 50,000 BE shop things for an emote i never use cuz i focus on the game too much to use it lol). I feel like those players who are older players would definitely use this feature as they probably play less arams in the first place.
I don't know the actual account age vs Aram impression analytics, but especially for the High Diamond/Masters/ Challenger players that i know. They rarely play arams and I bet they have a metric buttload of BE to spend. ALSO, this would allow the players who want to do missions most efficiently and sometimes need to do an aram to accomplish them, a way to better accomplish those missions in a timely fashion because anytime spent on league and not in ranked, is time spent not climbing, so it should feel worth it. It would require the trade-off investment of BE to give them a way to save time on missions.
. . . .
ON ANOTHER NOTE. riot hire me lmfao. I asked for these missions like 4 years ago and had a whole business plan for them. I feel like the current missions are beginning to lack purpose and are losing their motivational drive with alot of players. They need to feel more rewarding. There needs to be more kinds, unique, some unobtainable for some. MAYBE create InterRank mission/ladder mission rewards.
That being said I feel like there have been alot of suggestions that I have had that Riot ended up implementing years later or currently.
One thing, Odyssey felt like a mission grinding mode, I feel like those should be more scheduled and more frequent and less over tuned. I think they are a good way to instill quality traits in players without the need of coaching. Odyssey emphasized the importance of wave management and efficient character movement. There are so many other examples, but minor ones that I feel should be emphasized and focused more. These traits and qualities on the rift become blurred and make it difficult to diagnose for some, which is why people opt for coaching. But even in soccer there are mini games that are done to improve select qualities that ultimately create better players when it comes to game time (ranked).
Watching and playing Odyssey, it was extremely evident how much more skill imaqtpie for example has over other players. In his first games in Odyssey playing on onslaught, he and the other high ranked players were able to manage to progress where 99% of other players would have failed with no augments simply due to the fact that he efficiently dodged every skill shot and his strategic movement to correct locations so that either he would survive or his teammates would not be hindered because of his movements were skills/traits that many players need to improve upon or understand it better.
I hope more "mission grinding" game modes are released (they are welcomed breaks from ranked, that still feel fulfillingbecause there is a challenging goal to be obtained ranked=challenger, Odyssey(2augment reward). I also hope that more skill enriching/encouraging missions are released alongside of these game modes.
At the same time, i feel like that Aram needs a niche of game mode that would seem useful to ranked-hungry players. It is evident through twitch and through most of my friends who play league regularly, extensively, and mostly for ranked. There is an extreme propensity towards burning out due to toxicity or patch shifts.
When players burn out due to toxic games with afks, rage quitters, long-disappointing games, there needs to be a more casual game mode like aram to welcome them when they want to play league, but dont want to lose rank and don't want to play normals(because truthfully it doesn't fulfill the same feeling as ranked, UNLESS you play normals with friends, that is still a useful function of normals). But arams can be unfun because INSANELY one-sided team comps due to the all random RNG. Or because they were given a champion that they do not enjoy.
Nexus Blitz felt like it fulfilled that, it was fun, it was fast. It was something that I wanted. The only issue was that the champions that were good were clearly better than others, as there are in arams, but in arams(besides pyke SSSSSS tier in aram) any champion can potentially steam roll.
Anyways I went on huge tangent.
TL;DR There needs to be a consistent Mission Grinding Mode, like Odyssey, that enriches certain qualities that benefit players on the rift. Missions that are skillful and not everyone can obtain, but are also not blanket missions and give different kind of rewards that are recognizable. (PM me for details of that)
Aram needs to evolve into something closer to Nexus Blitz to provide an enjoyable, casual, yet exciting break from Ranked and Missions. (both of those genres of game modes have goals that may become frustrating to obtain, but constantly grinding for it can cause disinterest or burn out)
A soft fix to that is the title of this post. Make it so you can spend BE on rerolls in Aram.
There is a more complex reason for all of this that involves rank patches and overall "meta" and ranked game quality, but I'll save that for next time.
So ya Hire me, i've always had good ideas for league and alot of them years ago when I was more intensely involved and alot of the motions Riot is implementing now are ideas i had a while back. It's exciting. I was recently diagnosed with cancer, well maybe, still getting results and tests back, but i've gotten a bit more time on my hands preparing for that, so that's why im posting lol i should have done this more often before to document my ideas, feels good to put them into words. I am also working on making a huge series for video games, I'm really excited for it. It's hard getting into it alone because well apparently having cancer is tiring for the body and causes fatigue. lol oh well.
if you read this far, wow. add me on my main acc, hopefully i'll have time to bring my accounts to diamond before end of season in between my medical exams.
