I'm so done with the way my free currency can now buy things that my old free currency never could!

I'm so done with how this game now gives you the ability to earn skins for free, which would never happen outside of a few promo skins in the past!

You know how in the past my IP would only buy runes, champions, and rune pages and a few other tiny misc items? Yeah well I'm so donion rings with the fact that now it can be used to buy skins and other cosmetic effects that were previously limited to RP only!

I'm just donezo with the fact that playing the game itself is not the fun part for me, but rather the act of collecting meaningless shit that's the fun part.

I'M SO DONE!!

Congratulations, you've just shown with this satire thread that Riot has indeed managed to psychologically manipulate you. I guarantee every time they've dangled more shiny "free shit" in front of our eyes, RP sales have skyrocketed.

Meanwhile, people are spending 10x more RP on boxes than they would ever spend on skins. See: Every idiot with stockpiles of 50+ skin/champion shards.

That's not what people are complaining about. The problem is that people are making LESS of this currency and it's being handed out in a way that feels less rewarding than it has in the entire 10 year life span of this game. It's also worth mentioning that if we are making less money while we are also given more things to purchase, it just feels even worse.

Who's this supposed to parody? I've never seen anyone complain about free skins. Ever.

Chromas aren't the same thing as full-on skins. Also, buying them without RP isn't a new thing. Now I'm going to be more specific about what people are complaining about here. Riot is trying to drain the wallets of players by encouraging them to spend all of their "free" currency on expensive stuff so they can then lower the amount of "free" currency players receive, which leads to encouraging players to spend more real money then they did before just to unlock champions because the rate that they receive "free" currency at is just pitiful.

I'm just donezo with the fact that playing the game itself is not the fun part for me, but rather the act of collecting meaningless shit that's the fun part.

The problem isn't that people find more enjoyment out of unlocking stuff than playing the game, it's that you get less stuff for playing the game now than you would've for playing the game for the same amount of time three days ago, or last month, or two years ago, or at any other point in this games ten year life.

So I take it most of ya'll are fine with having to play more games now to get the same rewards you would get in the previous patch? Don't get me wrong, I like this game and I plan on playing it still, but you can't deny that you get less for time spent playing now. New people are gonna see the grindfest that this game is and either be turned off from it, or shell out some cash for RP(which is honestly probably what Riot is banking on, but I digress).

Kind of how I feel about it, but that makes me a fanboy apparently.

If it's not fun then don't play the game. It's that simple. However, if you don't want to quit the game, find a couple of friends to play with and f*k around with in norms

It doesn't really affect me since I don't particularly need ip anymore, but just because something doesn't cost any real world money doesn't mean it's immune to criticism. For people that don't own all the champs, it can be seen as really discouraging when there's still champs you want to try playing that will take longer to unlock.

I remember when in PvP, victory was its own reward. What happened?

If you don't understand the problem with Blue Essence from a fundamental point of view well, just keep being your sarcastic blind self.

Free? LOL! They limit the amount of BE you can earn is way lower than the previous IP system, and the IP prices were changed on a 1:1 ratio. I wonder how many months you will have to play to get 6300 BE for a new champion? For reference old system was 2 weeks playing everyday around 3h (4-5 games)

i would like to point out that a huge part of why I quit playing HotS was because I wasn't earning enough currency to buy heroes in any kind of timely fashion. so, the new system is kinda a problem for new players, yea... I guess it's kinda alleviated by champ shards, but even that is frustrating in its own way. it may be a near non-issue for veteran players, but if you're new and you're just trying to find a champ you really enjoy out of the over 100 champs we have, it probably sucks a lot more.

i have no issues with riot trying to make money

i have issues with them doing it ways thats like "deal with 150 games for one champion or buy rp you stupid bitch" thats pretty much what this is i dont have the money to buy riot points every time a new character is released

i also have issues with grinding harder for less

thats like blizz making daily quests in wow give you 15 gold instead of 13 an giving you 5 extra ones to make it up but you end up with far less currency than you did previously
