Why is blue essence so... so hard to get

I know this happened ages a go but now people are reaching higher levels, getting more EXP with each level is getting harder, taking longer and is becoming tedious. But here's the problem: if i dont have enough blue essence, I have to wait 1, 2 or even 3 levels to power up a champion from m5 to m6, and add 1-2-3 more levels to get them to m7, so if I dont get lucky I have to wait 6 levels to get a champion from m5 to m7. Compared back when IP was a thing and I only had to play a days worth of games to get enough IP. All in all the removal of IP has just made things so much more difficult and made things take longer. Just make it so we can earn blue essence at the end of every game please?

It's not though.

The first early levels on your account gives you upwards of 3000-6000 blue essence.

If you stopped using it on rune pages and mastery levels, maybe you'd have more.

It is not, it is easier.

This is false.

You want them and that's cool. However, those mastery levels were created in response to consumer demand and they were made to be purchasable cosmetics to be used as an excess point dump. Additionally, they are now easier to get than they were with IP and cost less. But otherwise, yeah, you don't have points as you previously spent them.

This is also false.

The xp curve resets at certain intervals so that it's not an infinitely more difficult climb. The BE you get from leveling also maths out pretty closely to old IP gains. And since you don't have to spend any of that on runes now you technically have more available than you would have before.

To encourage the purchase of boxes and/or keys

If you're 400 BE away from the champion you want, but you've JUST leveled up, would you rather: a. Spend another 5+ hours just to get that one champion b. Spend $1-2 to get enough BE for that champion
