A rough break down of the Orange Essence Discussion

In Summary: (This isn't done or complete, but feel free to add!) The Orange Essence disenchantment numbers lack.

• As a player it feels bad to have to disenchant much more expensive stuff just to unlock older or lower things and conversely, disenchant so many higher value shards just to unlock 1.
• The "extra" OE we're getting from the bundles should be included in everyday disenchanting. It's weird. It's a cushion when you know you're not giving enough out. Dollar Value:
• It COULD almost even out if you buy a mass of shards, but only if you get super lucky and don't want a lot of them.
• The only things that makes the capsule bundle worth it is if you already own a plethora of shards, the "extra" OE you get, and possible extra skin shards/gems. The RP to OE ratio is 1:5.

Let's run some numbers! OE = Orange Essence, if you were confused - not oceanic server.

RP Prices: $5 is 650 RP (No extras) $10 is 1300 RP (+80 on certain payments) $20 is 2600 RP (+200 on certain payments) So on, so fourth. Check your client/preferred payment method.

Low Tier Beast Hunter Draven is 750 RP - Let's say $5 Disenchant: 150 OE Permanent: 450 OE

Mid Tier Bladecraft Orianna is 975 RP - Let's say $10 Disenchant: 195 OE Permanent: 675 OE

Epic Void Bringer Illaoi is 1350 RP - Let's say $10 Disenchant: 270 OE Permanent 1050 OE

Legendary Mecha Sion is 1820 RP - Let's say $15 (but you're going to go with the $20 because extra RP) Disenchant: 364 OE Permanent: 1520 OE

To unlock one legendary with skin shards you need: 1:11 Low Tier at 150 OE = $55 1:10 Mid Tier at 195 OE = $100 1:6 Epic at 270 OE = $60 1:5 Legendary at 364 OE = $75

One Epic: 1:7 Low Tier = $35 1:7 Mid Tier = $70 1:4 Epic = $40 1:3 Legendary = $35

One Mid Tier: 1:5 Low Tier = $25 1:4 Mid Tier = $40 1:3 Epic = $30 1:2 Legendary = $30

One Low Tier: 1:3 Low Tier = $15 1:2 Mid Tier = $10 1:2 Epic = $20 1:2 Legendary = $30

Not Crafting: Broken down, let's say you purchase the $100 RP bundle. 13000 (+ 2000 on certain payments) Straight up permanent through the store, with 15000 RP you could purchase... 750 RP = 20 Low Tier Skins 957 RP = 15 Mid Tier Skins 1350 = 11 Epic Skins 1820 = 8 Legendary Skins

OR

With Crafting 1 Capsule is 695 RP (Over $5 so we'll say $10) with 975 RP skin shards or more each not adding in the "extra" OE or extra shards you may incur. And since most players want this over Hextech Chests since they have some guarantee behind them to have skins...

Let's say you get the absolute lowest... 3 x 195 OE = 585 OE

Highest 3 x 364 OE = 1092 OE

So, you buy the Capsule bundle at 3475 RP. Roughly $30. (This is minus the "bonus OE and possible skin shards") All At Least Mid Tier (Guaranteed) 15 x 195 OE = 2,925 OE Or All Legendary 15 x 364 = 5,460 OE

Now, you'll range somewhere in the middle of there so let's take it one step further. At the absolute best 5,460 OE is broken down is... 3 Legendary Unlocks 4 Epic Unlocks 8 Mid Tier Unlocks 12 Low Tier Unlocks (Which you won't get from capsules) Downfall: You need to have had shards in order to get any of this.

Example: Let's spend the entire $100. With the 15,000 RP you can buy 4 Bundle Capsules (Remember this is done without extra OE or shards you may incur)

All Legendary 60 x 364 OE = 21,840 OE

21,840 OE can fetch you... 60 x 364 OE = 21,840 OE divided to unlock by 1520 OE = 14 Legendary Perm Except you have to choose those of which you're unlocking meaning - some shards. About 10 Legendary Unlocks at the absolute best. Divided by 1050 = 20 Epic Perm Divided by 675 = 32 Mid Tier Perm Divided by 450 = 48 Low Tier Perm (Which you won't get from capsules)

All Mid Tier (Guaranteed) 60 x 195 = 11,700 OE

11,700 OE could fetch you 7 Legendary 11 Epic 17 Mid Tier 26 Low Tier (Which you won't get from capsules)

Downfall: You're gonna have to break at least half of these down just to obtain the other half if you don't have them. Remember: Your number of shards will most likely be more, but your number will vary and be somewhere in the middle of these. 10k is a huge margin.

TL;DR Version

So let's stick with the rough number assessment. Out of generosity you land somewhere around 17,000 OE w/bonus OE and extra shards... That could fetch you 11 Legendary 16 Epic 25 Mid Tier 37 Low Tier (Which you won't get from capsules)

But in the end, you have to have the shards you want to unlock first. And if you're a newbie, you probably want to keep a ton. So minus 2-4 on higher tiers and 5-7 on lower tiers.

Which equates to...(me, again, being generous) 8-9 Legendary 12-14 Epic 18-22 Mid Tier 29-32 Low Tier (Which you wouldn't have unless you had them unlocked via the extra chests they give you = a completely useless number to this hypothetical situation)

So! Comparing to straight up $100 RP not crafting... 750 RP = 20 Low Tier Skins 957 RP = 15 Mid Tier Skins 1350 = 11 Epic Skins 1820 = 8 Legendary Skins

Almost the same, even at a value bundle.
