Riot logic - Make an event based on LCS, which everyone hates right now, and put a paywall behind it

Did you take that straight out of the blizzard playbook or something? this event where if I want any worlds tokens I have to pay for them? really? there's zero explanation on this event other than it being a marketing gimmick for your dying competitive scene.

How can I, the average f2p player actually accomplish anything other than seeing "you have 197 tokens waiting" and then seeing "1650RP worlds pass"
