Player attitude and Blue Essence

Now that League of Legends has eliminated gold from the game and opted for the BE (Blue Essence) to further reduce your enjoyment of the game by making winning and losing irrelevant. Either way you wont earn any BE so don't bother trying to win or care about losing all you need to know is that eventually you will level up and a scrap will be tossed your way.

This show how far League of Legends has come to further eliminate how good players can tell if they are grouped with poor players since they have been hearing about that irritating grouping fiasco for a while now. You cant separate players by their individual achievement since those were gone, or by looking at their profiles, runes, mastery's, games played because you cant and i guess level of summoner is now also meaningless since anyone good or bad new or old can just play all day and look like they know what to do.

Well you can still see their champ mastery's and don't be fooled by a high number because anyone can play with the free champs and inflate that number but at the number of level 7. 6 and 5 champs they own. With this new method of earning and leveling it is easier to see who you have been grouped with and dodge, early ff or just don't care about the game at all like you should since nothing will be given to you for being good, bad, try or not try, feed, throw the game but just remember not to say anything in game so you don't get banned.

You might want to check out those other games you left to come to League like i did and see if they still care about winning and losing or is it one big bonfire kumbaya fest like League has turned into. Have fun i will from now own.... LOL

Okay, first of all, and I mean no disrespect, but you may want to work on GUM (Grammar, Usage, & Mechanics). There were a fair number of run-on sentences that made it difficult to read, and on top of that the size of each paragraph (save the first and fourth) was extremely hard to digest.

Now, I wanted to try and pick your post apart, but in all honesty, all of its points are so scattered that I may as well just distill the paragraphs and raise counterarguments.

Paragraph #1: The conversion of Influence Points to Blue Essence disincentivizes winning the game.

Counterargument #1: Playing to lose nets you punishments, and First Win of the Day bonus still exists, so even if you're not directly getting anything from a win, you're still encouraged to play to win.

Paragraph #2: Players can't tell if other players are bad(?)

Counterargument #2: While I've heard about the whole "matchmaking system stacking higher MMR players against you" thing, that's really more of an accident brought on by the chaos of Preseason than anything, and on top of that...Why does anything you listed (Summoner Level, Runes/Masteries, Games played) matter?

Paragraph #3: The amount of run-on sentences and conflicting statements in this paragraph confuses the ever living hell out of me.

Counterargument #3: I am confused.

Paragraph #4: OP is leaving League of Legends and encouraging other players to do the same.

Counterargument #4: Well, I hope you do have fun where you're going, and the same goes to other people who follow suit, but like the third paragraph, most of that fourth one is still pretty confusing.

All-in-all, I'm not sure what this has to do with Player Behavior.
