I think I finally figured out why Rito switched to Blue Essence...

Rokkitt··1 votes·866 views

Everyone knows how much harder it is to get champs now there's Blue Essence, even Rito has to know this by now (if they didn't before the switch). I think they wanted to make champs harder to get because it makes their jobs easier. When you do manage to get together enough essence from constant grinding to by a champ you're more likely to get one you know that's good rather than take you chance on one that's not popular & might not be as good. That pretty much makes the popular champs more popular & the less popular ones less popular. That way Rito only has to worry about making fixes & skins for the popular champs, while they can just practically ignore the less popular ones.

There's some champs I wanna try just because they look cool along with their moves & skins. Since they aren't popular or I can very rarely test them I have no idea how they play. I don't wanna waste my Blue Essence on them though or buy them because I'm afraid I might end up with a champ I don't like & will never play. Examples of this for me would be Viktor, Kalista, Xerath, Elise, & Zac.

The math has been done countless times when the changes came. You get champs faster than before.

That's another thing that all the fans have been complaining about. They did the math & it seems like you get BE faster than before but the main way you get it is from Capsules that take about 20 games on Summoner's Rift to get & even then you'll be lucky to get 2000 BE. If your unlucky you'll be getting a little under 1000BE & of course everyone is unlucky sometimes. But if you play everyday, which hardly anyone can do, you do end up with 1500BE a month.

So after about 4 levels which would be about 80 games on average you should get the BE you need to get the champions that you want. Since the average game is about 45 minutes that's 60 hours of playing until you get that 6300BE champ.

That math doesn't look good to me at all.

The math was done on average outcome, not ideal. The capsules also have minimum BE outcome. The problem is that you get champs faster if you upgrade the shards instead of disenchanting all and buying champs. This makes the champs you get random. Still you do get champs faster.

So basically you're saying I can get the champion I really REALLY want to play faster, but I only have a 1-in-141 chance of getting them. Or I could just waste BE gambling on champions I might not want to play (I've unlocked quite a few)

Well me being the dumb person I am thought that getting champs would be just as easy as before to get champs so I spent all the BE on Rune Pages. Now it takes almost a month to grind out the BE for a 6300 champ.

welll that sucks, sorry to be you . however there is no reason to need 20 rune pages or whatever. the runes are so much more limited then before and so easy to adjust on the fly in champ select.

i will say this before rune reforged i protested the changes , but people called me stupid/troll whatever you want. the issue with the old rune system wasnt the runes. all they had to do was unlock the gates. such as make the runes free (no IP cost ) and not to gate the runes by tiers or level of your account. letting you access to full runes from level 1 , same for spells and masteries. however as riot usually does they shit the bed and we have the system we have now
