The New Blue Essence System can Potential Screw Everybody.

Let me just say it, this new system is really really really stupid, especially for new players. I just created a new account to play with my friends and I'm telling you, it can actually impossible to get anything with the change. Why? Because it is completely based on luck. For example, I just leveled up to 10, and as my reward I got a poppy champion shard and 2 ashe skins. Poppy goes for a SOLID 90 LP. And for the previous 2 levels, I got champions that sold for 270. This clearly needs to be fixed since it makes champions nearly impossible to get. So now its going to take me another 10 levels to get my hot yorick. Has this happened to anyone else?

The system needs to be rebalanced and tuned in several areas, and has a lot of features that are more counter-intuitive than handy. For example, the only way to get BE is to sacrifice opportunities that prevent you from spending more BE for random champions it hands you, and if you end up getting a shard for a champion you are really interested in, you have to basically accept you will get less/zero BE for that entire level.

The low level rewards aren't random, level 10 is the level they introduce you to what orange essence and skins are by making the main reward of your chest be a skin shard and enough essence to perm it. That's the only time you can get a skin shard or orange essence from a level-up chest.

All level capsules from level 31 onwards are guaranteed to have a minimum of 810 BE's worth of champion shards inside.

Also, pre-level-30 accounts are gaining BE faster than post-30 because they are gaining levels so much faster, and post-30 accounts are generally gaining BE faster than they gained IP under the previous system.
