A better proposition to Earn 2 and 3 star little legends

My first question to everyone is , how much do you spend on RP a year ? me myself I'd say around 50-150$ per year since I started this game back in 2011 4x12=48 48x490rp= 23,000RP which is 153$ USD(If you're only buying RP by 100$ incriments)

That's the maximum amount you would have to spend to get the 3star little legend of your choice , so with some good RNG you're looking at probably around 50-100$ for a 3 star Legend of your choice , I think that's kind of ridiculous considering a Ultimate skin is only 22$ USD

I understand that this is a really cool concept and these things take time to create , but at the same time I think paying 100$ for something purely cosmetic is insane.

I really wish the Star system was based on how many wins you got with the little legend you equip 10 or 25 wins = 2 Star 50 or 100 wins = 3 Stars and this could be on the basis of each individual little legend

I think either doing that or just lowering the price on the egg's all together sounds reasonable, or just make a price tag for each individual legend like the skins in the original game

I feel like that would be a much more feeling of accomplishment of a system to grind out the little legend that you want , but not having to take away the pay to play option for the little legends

i don't even know what those star things do, is it so that from the eggs you buy you have a x% chance to get a rare little one?

i've been trying to find info about this but i'm useless (obviously)

Other than my obvious ignorance, i do miss a system that keeps track on how bad I'm doing

I would vastly prefer this over the "system" we have now. Or even make each LL have a separate egg to get the diff colorations (and maybe lvl ups), would still be pricey but less so than we have now (probably).

this doesn't solve the fact that i'd have to keep roling eggs to get a damned 1 star clumsy molediver, which is honestly the one i want most.

It seems these types of "loot" boxes are becoming the new sells model at riot . This is beyond predatory. Taking out the ability to just pay a high price for something and replacing it with a loot box is equivalent to a drug dealer giving out a free sample in order to generate future addict/customer. Now if it can have this effect on adults i can't imagine the damage this could do to a 10 year old kid. A reddit user going by Wumboimus explained it better then i would

"when you open a loot box, you experience a positive feeling, and when you get a big reward like a skin you really want, your brain releases even more chemicals that make you feel better. However, by making these big rewards of positive feeling occur at random, that positive feeling is stronger in your mind and you will crave it for longer. That is why gambling can be so addictive. The randomness of a huge reward makes you keep striving for the reward for longer, which keeps you engaged with that system." his full post https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/af8642/the_psychological_manipulation_of_prestige_aatrox/

The real issue and what riots marketing strat is banking on is that a % of the people will keep mindlessly hitting that loot box button even if they have the skin. IT no longer is about the skin but the feeling. My brother had a gambling problem and i seen this type of thing first hand. He went into a casino with $40 won $50k on a progressive pay slot machine and didn't leave till the next day when i went to find him. he had nothing left. He lost it all and then some. So in the same sense the people who push these loot boxes, bank on the rng aspect AS WELL as the degenerate who will keep buying them till broke. So idc how riot tries to paint this one, its shady, morally questionable considering kids are marketed to and I personally thought riot was better than this. I know i ranted but this issue disgust me for the simple fact that there is no innocent way this got implemented, no matter the excuses $$ rules and they knew how shady this stuff is.. Check out the linked reddit post its really good and like easier to read than mine.

Enough people are paying these huge prices for these little legends that I highly doubt they'll skip out on that extra money from getting the first two starred legends for people that play more. Having said that, I think it's an awesome idea. TFT is my favorite game at the moment and it's free...so I tried to not get that carried away in all of the rage from the pricing and system surrounding little legends that you see here and on Reddit. The little legend skins look awesome, and I really wish the system, pricing, or incentives were different...Your idea is especially awesome since I play way too much!
