My opinion on the new BE system

I've done no research on the numbers, nor have I double checked anyone else. I'm here to talk about a completely different side of BE. One that isn't visible. Feeling.

BE just feels worse than the old system. This will probably change with time as new players adopt and learn this version of the game, but for the veteran, it feels bad. I've spent years of my life not giving a damn about experience. It was always a mad dash to level 30 so you could start playing the REAL game. After that, nobody cared about it. I enjoyed seeing the IP number after every game. I enjoyed seeing my IP steadily go up, especially if I had a goal in mind. Now I get to see exp, which I just don't give a shit about mentally, go up. However, to actually receive any BE, I have to level up. Then I'm gifted something that still isn't a number. It's a thing that I may or may not want now or later. It feels bad to have to trash something to get something that you're used to getting for free.

tl:dr - idk if BE is mathematically bad, but it sure feels bad to see and get
