Blue Essence and why its the fall of Riot Game

StrangeShaman··5 votes·523 views

So getting only 50 Blue Essence on a first win of the day, every single day, it would take you 126 days to get 6300 for a new champion. Add level up capsules on top of that and you might be able to shave it down to ~80-100 days. The only way to feasibly get a champion in a decent time frame would be to play 10-20 hours a day, every day, and even then it completely depends if you get big or small Blue Essence champs in your level up capsule. I know personally I've gotten 3-4 level ups with the lowest possible BE champs in them in a row. Luckily, I own every champion and have before they made the switch from IP to BE, but if I still was missing 20+ champions I probably wouldn't even bother playing this game anymore. This management of in-game currency is extremely toxic for new players. They are forced to play an extremely small pool of champions for an extremely long time before getting ONE new one, or spend real money to be able to actually play a new champion.

P.S. "Riot Game" in the title is not a typo. They only make one game.

Mate, it still takes roughly the same number of games to get 6300 BE as it did to get IP in the old days.

48 wins and 48 losses if I have a 50%winrate (which I do) so 96 games.

#96 games to get the difference IP to buy a 6300 champ.

Referring to the current system.

Didn’t the old system also take about 96 games split win and loss to get a champion of that value....

Yes, it did, but people want to act like you got champions so much faster with the old system.

Fun fact, the system only slows down after level 35 to 50 and you lose out on around 400 to 800 ip during that time.

The system might feel worst but the math that we have clearly showcases that isn’t the truth. Notice how every one of these post is like “omg, this one level I got shit, system horrible” yet you never see any of the ones showcasing the ones you get the 1260 be times, or the discount factor, or showcase all the levels over time.

The leveling process for BE is faster then before and before you say it is worst provide the proof of such because of all the proof I have the math proves otherwise. From 1 to 30 with the old system you on average got 20 k, current system you get 22 to 26 k, plus three champions for free.

Past level 30, over ten levels you get 1 k to 1.1 k average which is also around the same amount of ip you got before. From 35 to 50 however you do get less, but once again the math showcases you only lose 400 to 800 ip them before.

Ok sure but why1 votes

Yeah, I'm missing about 20 champs, and my pool went down from 50k to 20k without even being able to buy one, just because I really wanted M7 on the mains I NEVER, EVER, EVER got shards for

also Riot makes smaller games like the poro roundup, mechs vs minions and the one with battle boss ziggs, but they only release them to advertise skins or shift the public focus away from balance issues

a good fix to this would be to completely eliminate the low BE capsules and give 200BE on First win of the day. And make you 20% more likely to get champs you dont own out of capsules.

Ive gotten 1 champ since the change in systems when i used to get 1 a week.

Seems about the same as before. Definitely doesn't take 126 days to get 6300 BE.

Have you disenchanted any shards?

I just hit level 80, and out of my Glorious Champion Capsule got less than 2000 BE, with the first win i think it came out to a total of 2030 BE for that day. Not even 1/4 of the amount i would need for a new champion

Cool, but that's 2000 for the level up of 79-80. You never even considered 71-79.

If i had a dollar every time I got a capsule with 3-4 90 BE champs, I'd have at least 30 bucks
