Feelings about Blue Essence
I am the only one that does not like the division between blue essence and orange essence?
I wanted to share a bit of feedback on the hextech, since the system is still young and i managed to get some playtime. So far i have opened only few chests, but i have obtained only skin shards and orange essence. And it is fine, i enjoy it. I would enjoy too blue essence and champion shards since i want to unlock the full rooster, too, but i don' t have any hurry.
However, if i get a champion essence now it will stay there as luggage for a long, long while if i keep my usual drop rate here. And then i have to obtain a champion skin that i lack, which is another challenge by itself. It can make box openings quite disappointing, and i am not picky about them since most of times for me is free stuff. I mean, i rerolled once a Dragon Knight Morde skin while i already have Pentakill and Infernal and i was happy about that, just to speak, even if i plan to hardly use it.
I understand that having it not divided would increase too much the buy power, but by doing so you reduce too the willingness to buy chests :\ i am afraid of a scam if i get a champion shard, even of a champion i need, and not blue essence for a while.
I see you want to add champion shards on the store and that looks like a good band-aid fix for many things, but this is an issue of the hextech loot that remains, even after it.
Still, hextech crafting overall is cool. Probably one of the few lottery systems that i like ^_^
