Why was the mastery price increased for BE

Amörak·Nov 10, 2017·4 votes·490 views

I can't imagine any reason that they would increase the pricing on the mastery upgrades with the changes to IP/BE, there is already no reason at all for there being a price and honestly 1 of the things that i was looking forward to for this preaseason is no longer having to buy the god damn champion tokens just to upgrade mastery, the changes with BE already seem scummy because now it seems more RNG based on rather or not you get a high priced token or a low priced token. Mastery should be a representation of skill flat out no exceptions, not "oh yea this is my mastery and 3250 worth of BE" seriously this should be lowered or removed completely because there is literally no reason for it to exist, it was only implemented to make blue essence when it was first revealed actually seem useful, this is getting rediculous and i don't want to have to legitimately slander the company i love so dearly, please make some changes to this.

because in the old system, the only way you got BE was from disenchanting/opening loot. BE is just IP now. It isnt worth as much

That's the very reason why it's worth more now. You need it for everything.... JESUS!!! [zombie-brand-facepalm]

Only difference is I dont need to use IP for champ shards, which is just converting IP into BE. It doesn't make a difference

Yes, but if you count the RNG and the fact that you got more IP in 10-20 games than from an average opening it sucks. You can get lucky, but most of the time Lady Luck will shit on your face and gives you 90 BE shards from your capsule.

You get more IP in this system. RNG is on your side. It isnt 50/50

You can't get a 90 shard (alone)

Then why do the majority of my fellow players say they got 4-5 low-value champion shards in a pack. Which means they got less than 500 BE. Even if you get several low-value shards it still comes out short. Every capsule I opened contained either one 1200 BE shard or several low-value shards. Given the fact that it takes 10-20 games to lvl up based on your win rate and game mode choice it takes away several hundred IP and while took away shard reroll and permanently increased the price of a couple of things. We got a ONE TIME multiplier of 6,5 and got a PERMANENT 6,5 price increase in mastery levels. Even people who turned several thousands of IP into BE before the multiplier only won a small amount back. A guy turned 171k IP into BE and got 183k BE. That doesn't reason a 6,5-time permanent price increase. Especially, that multiple rune pages become practically mandatory if you are not a one-trick pony.

It's technically the same price but the number is larger. Both your old BE and the rank upgrade is 6.5 times more

The new rate of acquisition is another story

Well, it would be the same price if you would earn 6 times more BE every time.

Easy, they're full of bs, lying, or dont remember that they got a bonus BE from opening it.

The only way you got BE before was through disenchanting champs shards. I dont know the exact numbers, but I can promise you that a 6300 champ didnt give anywhere close to what it does now.

Its hard to compare 2 different currencies.
