@Riot I Feel Uneasy About Future Blue Essence Gain

Shuyin178·Sep 13, 2017·4 votes·458 views

I don't know how I feel about Blue Essence gain with this new system. From what I understand, you can now only get Blue Essence by disenchanting champion shards, which now give significantly less BE than before. So it feel like players are getting screwed out of Blue Essence gain to buy things in the future. Can we at least know the current BE gain we will be getting from the different tiers of champion shards when the system goes live? Like 450IP champion shards are worth X BE, 1350IP champion shards are worth X BE, etc.

This way we have at least some idea of how much BE we will be looking forward to.

Disenchanting will prob provvide more BE not less. What i'm concerned it's the fact that you need 15-25 games to lvl up. This will make farming for a champ way too hard imo if there is no other way to farm for BE.

They also stated in more than 1 occasion that farming for new contents will take around the same time it takes now.

It was stated in their vid explaining the change from IP to BE that champion shards are going to give less Blue Essence now. In addition, apparently we can no longer re-roll champion shards for an un-owned champion (can still re-roll skins though).

No, they said they were toning it down, but if you read the Dev blog they actually meant you will get more from them.

Since the store is keeping the price ranges from the old IP-based system (6300 BE for a champ like Xayah), we need to “scale up” the amount of blue essence you get when disenchanting shards.

first win of the day now has to give bonus exp, which should not diminish for higher level players.

Riot has said (obviously, they could be lying, but we can't do anything about it until it's confirmed) that we will get BE at roughly the same rate as we get IP now.

I know they've said that, but given what we've been told about how we get BE it makes me question things. Right now players get about 70+ IP when they win a match, and according to what was stated it will take 15 - 25 wins to level. That's 1050 - 1750 BE per level when going by IP numbers, which means we have to play all of those matches to get anything back in return instead of just playing a few matches to get that little bit more you need for something.

I prefer the current system of IP gain because I can at least keep track of how many more matches I need to reach whatever my current goal is. Meanwhile with this new system we have to pray to the RNG gods that we get high-priced champion shards in order to get anything we were hoping for every single level. And if I don't disenchant then I don't get BE, so I get nothing back for those matches.
