I was hyped for the new tutorial icons because I find them really nice. Until I found them in shop for 5000 BE each https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fXg_fn7v62E/WzQog9moS-I/AAAAAAABCWU/1M3JsrdFjYMqpJHyW5CqB0ucbKl3imXPQCLcBGAs/s1600/DgvKV4VUYAEbF2y.jpg and then this message

> "They're tutorial completion rewards for new players. We wanted to keep them special, but also give veteran players a chance to collect them."

Really? Just because I started to play loooong time ago I have to pay 5000 blue essence for one of them? Ok, ok, at least they are in the shop forever (or at least it's not planned to remove them any soon), but honestly, I am going to be mad if I won't be able to complete "buddy missions" for that cute little poro icon. Please, at least don't make this one exclusive for new players. https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mvWjqzd1YLs/WygGTNFZN4I/AAAAAAABBpY/hd-DXIs_NFceBYZoDSMun05439OdxcAjACEwYBhgL/s1600/3550.jpg

I hope someone on Reddit bitches and get 5000 upvotes so Riot change it, so they can say "We listen to the community, so we made them free, aren't we the best!"

Are they trying to manipulate people into maining Yi with that one icon?

At least they're for BE and not RP.

Just chipping in, but new players only get one of them.

It's a BE sink for veterans. Purely cosmetic too. It's not mandatory for your gameplay and I'm doubtful you're gonna use the icon forever.

and like by comparison, every other icon in the store is 250 rp which is a whole different deal.

The only reason I see there being a complaint is if you main any of those 5 champs to the point that you need it, but if that's the case, you definitely aren't spending your BE on anything else in the game since you're that dedicated to your champ. In which case that price becomes trivial.

the icons should be a reward for playing the relevant champion in the tutorial, regardless of whether or not you're a new player imo :/ (although I have no room to complain really, I already have all champions so I've really got nothing else to spend BE on until the BE store comes back)

OMG why didn't I know about this!? (instantly buys Ahri icon)

Wait, how do I get that poro icon? I'm a poro collector.

Thats honestly not alot of BE but i mean considering you only get 1k per level up maybe it is.

When an icon for a champ costs more than the champ itself. [zombie-brand-clap]

If they wanted more blue essence sinks for players, maybe they should consider converting their other icons in the shop into blue essence instead of RP. Like the ones from their older events.

hahhaha lol. but this thing is less cheating more makes more sense than the orange essence problem: you need about 5 legi shards for disenchanting to unlock 1 legi skin. rofl

1 icon for BE > 1-2 champs for BE

To further a little more, my point isn't that it doesn't suck (Gimmi gimmi yah feel?) but like, there's a reason.

Old or new you have your own advantages.

& the main purpose is to be another BE sink tbh.

I guess I cant complain missed out on the lb icon cause I didnt have enough be at the time to buy all the icons and instead had enough for like 2 and didnt get her now I can just buy the ahri one instead of going around all the other ones I dont want
