I can't be the only one who thinks Riots pricing system is a joke

I can't be the only person who thinks that Blue essence is basically worthless. I also play HotS and I feel the way they do their progression and cosmetics is a far better system that rewards their players for actually playing the game. In HotS if i play 10 games i will earn maybe 4-5 loot boxes which contain skins, voice lines, emotes, icons, mounts and shards. Shards are used to buy literally every type of cosmetic and you gain a reasonable amount of them quite often. In LoL you gain blue essence which can be used to buy characters and runes pages, that's it, even the cheapest skins you have to spend about £5/$5 on RP. I feel Riot should shift their system to, not copy. but at least be similar to HotS system, a system that rewards people for playing.
