The amount of BE we earn right now is just insulting and most likely the reason i'll stop playing again. Especially when rune pages cost 6300 (which is incredibly overpriced to begin with). No BE from matches and only 50 from first win of the day is probably the dumbest thing i've ever seen in a free-to-play. We get it, you want us to spend money but the entire concept of free-to-play is to be rewarded for playing while money supplements the rest. To be honest i would have thought that Riot would eventually get better about seeming to be an incredibly greedy company ($15 for digital skins is cool if you live in a major city where that amount of money doesn't mean a whole lot... not so much elsewhere and its Riot's fault this has become a normal okay thing to do). That said those are cosmetics that aren't necessary and while terrible can be overlooked, things like unlocking champions and rune pages that actually affect gameplay are being treated the same way and that is not okay.

And before someone comes along with the you can get champs and skins out of chest (edit: this was ment to include capsules) argument. Chests are abysmal and need a rework also.

You forget, you get a massive amount of BE from capsules as well. I've had enough to get every new champion that comes out, and then some.

You can easily get whatever champions you want for free simply from dissolving/crafting the shards you get from capsules.

Gaining BE is a system catering to those who do not grind for loot. Eventually over time BE is gained at almost the same pace as IP was IF you played 5-10 games a day. Regardless, it still feels like shit earning it and people who grind out 10+ games a day get virtually nothing from it.

Hey guys,

Let's not bump old threads as doing so is necromancy which violates the Board Universal Rules. I'm going to lock this thread down now.
