No. But i get it. We all need money to live :)
Yes promote the casino owned mobile gamble machine to keep people addicted outside of a casino good job......
@@Dark3Nesz and we play League no matter how things go bad since we hate the game , no difference
Nooooo not you toooooooo!!! 😂
Dread it,
Run from it,
Raid Shadow Legends arrives all the same...
To be honest, why the fuck are we even calling these "events". This isnt an event, its just a pass, nothing else, no gamemodes, nothing fun on the client, nothing that makes you wanna come back and play. Calling these glorified scams "events" is an insult to every other live-server games that actually try to at least be fun. As bad as it is, imagine if something like Genshin tried that, said new event and literally nothing happened except for a new pass, they would shred them to pieces, why are we giving Riot a pass?
You know its bad when we have to use genshin as a good example for anything
I miss the PvE modes man. Odyssey was peak.
league used to have actual events to look forward to, now it’s just “oh wow another pass and wait yone gets another skin?”
Genshin event: Here's a bit, come back every day for the next 4-6 days to finish it and get your freemium.
As a Genshin and League player here!
Genshin is lowkey dumpstering League in terms of overall F2P player fairness. League cosmetics vs Genshin in game stuff to be argued for this since League doesn't have much to get other than cosmetics, Genshin blows it out the water. Hell, Heroes of the Storm and SMITE blow it out the water.
For reference, Genshin has even mini events every patch, with rare amounts of downtime where there isn't atleast SOMETHING to do. On top of being free and very F2P friendly despite constant nagging you may hear about it and a lackluster early game.
HOTS and SMITE pretty much give you their cosmetics. SMITE has multiple events giving away skins and HOTS have easy to farm in game currency to get skins and mounts.
League...rotates game modes every 3 months, and to get ONE SKIN. You need to have a RANDOM shard of a skin you may not even want, and enough SECONDARY CURRENCY to unlock it. But if you don't have enough secondary currency, you have to GIVE UP THREE POTENTIAL SKINS for a COMPLETELY RANDOM full skin. If you don't like the skin, but you own the champion it is for, THE SKIN IS PERMANENT AND YOU CANNOT DISENCHANT OR REROLL WITH IT.
I don't know about you guys, but I love when companies try to squeeze every penny out of me. Makes me feel loved by the share holders :)
The sad part people still thinking companies can self - regulate :)
Agreed. What I want to know is: How do we end this nonsense? How do we stop this corruption and abuse in the game we love?
@j.a.velarde5901 I stopped playing after hitting emerald, this game is a rat race. They had scientists work on it to make it as addicting as possible.
Remember. This is a free game. Buying the pass is not mandatory.
If you buy the pass anyway AND complain I'd classify you as an addicted whale.
There is no reason *whatsoever* for Riot to stop reducing the amount you get per penny if you keep buying it anyway.
@@Karlyr_ yes, is free. But, all the thing they do. Delaying a lot of reworks, making scams, lying about "hearing community", client still shit, boring events... That free and still garbage.
Shrinkflation of digital goods!
What a time to be alive!
It's actually more like skimpflation XD
It's actually more like : "People keep buying the things for less value in them. Why are we putting more money into it if it brings in the same amount ?"
Stop buying the pass. That's all.
Also, if you feel like you are obligated to buy said pass. Welcome to the whale club.
@@Karlyr_ way ahead of you, haven't bought a league pass in about 6 years when the pass went from giving you enough tokens to get the big skin at the end and still have enough to get other things to only giving you enough to get the skin at the end.
@@jishani1 I stopped playing LoL in 2017 I think. Cheers brother
@@Karlyr_ Pfft they its not even them putting less money into it.... its not exactly costing them money to put in grab bags
The best part is they acknowledged the community feels the pass was nerfed and the value isn't the same but still chose not to do anything 😊
Banker ceo said to cut and squeeze can't be unprofitable here no way
@@user-fn2mx6dd5k No need for a banker CEO. If you keep buying it, they keep making money and have no incentive to give you more. The first time they reduced the value, people pointed it out, complained AND STILL BOUGHT IT.
The only people to blame for this is those who buy the pass regardless.
I mean... Why wouldn't they cut and squeeze if you keep buying regardless of content.
You are doing this to yourself here.
Stop buying the pass and send a message OR accept the consequences and keep paying for less.
And in case you didn't realize it, you are now a whale. You feel the obligation to pay for a free game to show off.
I wish they didn't do anything. They nerfed it again.
CEO need that 2nd yacht
Dont forget, the Twitch loot is gone as of this month as well.
amazon?
that's not on Riot side
The one difference between the League Pass and Fortnite Pass (just for mention) is that if you purchase and complete a FortPass, it pays for the next one in currency with some leftovers. The league pass is a 1 time purchase and are you NOT guaranteed to get what you want since the orbs are random without duplicate protection (I've gotten that fire warwick skin 2 times now and I already have it). Its a big issue, and the worst they make the pass, the more it feels like a waste of money.
I recently purchase the pass for the first time, get 20 orb. Open orb and get around 20 legendary skin shard (I have enough essence to unlock about 3-4 legendary skin). And guess what, not a single legendary skin shard is a new skin for me (I believe my account only own around 1/3 legendary skin of entire game since I stop buy skin for like 9 years)
i dont buy the pass, but i remember that via free rewards, i used to get 400 tokens, so i could buy 2 orbs. they nerfed that to 300 tokens as well...
Yeah, they are pushing people to buy the pass. That kinda sucks. But they probably saw a non-negligible increase in pass sales by doing that.
People being whales and not recognizing it.
Trueeeeeeeeeeee, f2p players are even more fcked...
I'm glad I'm not addicted to LoL anymore (playing since s3), now it's only ARAMs whenever I feel the itch. Which is like around 5-6 games for the whole week.
@@AngelOfDeathBG The last time I played LoL seriously must have been 2015 or so and only play ARAM if friends ask me to, otherwise I sometimes log in to play TFT.
@@AngelOfDeathBG even more games than me. Im new to league and only play for the homies
That still sounds addicted af, esp. since ARAM is brainrot.
Good luck snapping out of it!
I thought I was safe, Necrit was my hallow bastion, but even he can't escape the raid, the shadow, and the legends.
Raidy Shady!
Another recent example of "the biggest profit with the lowest effort" is Guardian of The Sands Skarner. The reworked version of the skin currently has its unique recall animation replaced with base skin's recall animation and some sand VFX smh
Right? Not to mention the earth rune and cosmic rework skins are lacking, cosmic being a straight up down-grade imo. It's has muted colours, is less bright, less detail (especially the tail) and has a cheap 2D moving texture on the limbs..
It's still on PBE tho, although I don't expect Riot to do something about it
@@Rumen35 earthrune used to have this really cool model change where skarners main body was made of twisting tree branches xD
what's their excuse for just giving him something close to his base model for the rework?
"the ai couldnt figure out how to easily translate the branch body onto the new model :("
@@LoriLovi ah fair, down with Riot!
I think its funny nobody talks about how much better fortnite battle passes are than any other game. Having the ability to get enough vbucks to purchase the next battle pass is insane and on top of it getting skins emotes and other things make it feel like you are actually getting something for playing the game where all other games give you no currency for the game a bunch of tokens that have minimal value other than to get one skin and maybe a emote and a bag
halo infinite does that. even lets you buy the passes, when they've expired. i also think many other games give you your currency back.
Cod is the same
@@etmon.halo infinite also sells you armor for games from a decade ago for $20 each, so it’s still inferior to not only Fortnite but every other halo game ever made. Barring 5.
@@Tyren17k thats not the battlepass bruh. besides, fortnite sells skins for the same amount as well.
Yugioh master duel also does the same thing and it's free. 700 gems for a pass that refund you said gems and give you a bunch of crafting material and new mate is pretty goated.
Remember in other battle passes, you may not be able to choose what you get, but you do get everything from the battle pass including the special items at the end (the equivalent of a prestige skin). In leagues battle pass, the only things that is exclusive to it, are chromas, which are extremely niche, and prestige skins, which you will need to use a whole battle pass worth of points on. So if you’re grinding for the prestige skin you will need the entire battle pass worth of points to get, so in league you spend the same amount of money as other battle passes and the same time (maybe even more) to get one skin, while the other battle passes give you more than 20 skins usually. And they still take grab bags out of it so that they don’t lose money on giving you a couple extra skins
The only way low spenders like me could earn cool stuff without gambling in chests or straigh up overpaying for skins in shop just got nerfed. What kind of 7D chess is this.
The answer is obvious: if you aren't going to spend a lot of money, Riot does not care about you as a consumer.
"Listen here peasant: We don't need players, we need payers!" - Riot
1650 still gets you a bunch of skins from the pass. Its still great value all things considered.
@@deityofcrystals Sure if you look it like that. But the game has a lot of skins. The luck you have to have is insane to get something you actually want. Rather just buy skins from the sale
Reminder that skins is how they make their game profitable. LoL wouldn't be able to run if it wasn't from people buying skins.
A F2P game is maintained as long as people spend in microtransactions. The fact that LoL gives you any skin for free (other than through the Honor system) is beyond me.
Well tbh I wasn't buying them in the first place because they were expensive as fuck
And you don't really get anything interesting
@@animalxing8697 anymore. the passes genuinely used to be a really good value. i bought two passes back in season 9 and used all the tokens i got from them on champion shards (after buying the legendary skin at the end) and i got so many champion shards from those two passes i own all the characters in the game now where i wasn't remotely close then. now my blue essence piles up, i can drop 100k in the blue essence emporium every year and still never run out of essence to buy the new character.
i remember back in 2018 with the first pass i got to buy the 2000 token prestige skin in addition to the other 2200 token reward these days i get not even 3000 tokens with the same amount of games/time spent
This, I grinded 6 games per day and got not only Prestige BA Lux but also the prestige points to get Popstar Ahri.
I don't buy passes anymore but I doubt I would be able to do this nowdays.
dude, you should get ALL the prestiges skins at the last milestone, the later added too, without spendind tokens for it. Then spend the tokens on orbs or anything you want, I do support that a lot
As someone who along the years stopped playing SR and ONLY plays ARAM nowadays I love that I keep getting ward skins that I can't even use, even tacticians have a better value than wards.. I never really understood ward skins even when I did play Summoners Rift - it's a ward, I put it down and never look at it again unless I path next to it.. I have so many ward skins even some I probably have no idea I have that's how little I care or look at them
facts, like i put down a ward and i dont even look at it, just the location where i want to place it down 😂
Necrit toured Riot's offices, he has a good relationship and perks with Riot...so instead of saying terrible or bad.....he must replace those words with the word "weird" ...then u can enjoy and appreciate this video.
Had my account perma banned 4 years ago, which I spent over 1k€ on.
I wasn’t happy with the vague response from the support and that time around a lot of accounts got banned for the slightest misbehavior. (Had a 14 day ban prior for calling someone a troll)
So I swore to myself, I’ll never spend money on LoL again and I didn’t.
Just yesterday I was thinking about buying the pass to catch up on all champions faster.
Glad I got reminded to stay to my words. 👌🏼
As a new lol player, it's infuriating to see the amount of grind needed to unlock all legends, not worth it and I now play tft
Cap there is no such thing as new league player
the worst part is us old players had an even worse time unlocking them than a fresh account does now. I believe there was a sweet spot where when riot first introduced champion shards you could reroll them into permanent champs just like skins but that was removed super quickly as everyone instantly completed their collections (I was taking a break during this time so I only heard about it from a friend).
Way back in the days before blue essence you earned way more of the equivalent currency to unlock champs with which was fine but there were no missions or any other form of loot to speak of meaning that you had to physically grind games to unlock everything. Now while I hate blue essence with a passion (the old system gave you a small amount of currency after every game instead of every level up) the fact that your main way of getting essence is through missions and the daily reward instead of grinding ~100-150 games for a champion makes this system way healthier for a casual player. Also the level up rewards just straight up give you a ton of champions from level 1-30 now (not enough given how slow champion unlocks are without RNGesus gifting you a shard but way more than what us old timers got).
@dankmemes8254 ??? i started last year soo
@askyw69 this could be fixed if
1 daily quest start giving an actual amount of blue essence you know the first win of the day
2 introduce new quest make a bit generic maybe even have a little icon showing what champions are ideal for quest
Ex: heal or shield X amount of damage for your allies
Champions recommendations: soraka,janna,lulu+
By click on the plus it shows all champions that can do the quest not only does it give blue essence it can help new players to find thier main pool of champions quicker
It's lovely how Riot keeps getting away by delievering less and squeezing out as a much money with more scammy monetization schemes. (Mythic Scam skins, Amazon Prime cancelled, Pass nerfs, Quantity over quality skins, Barebones ultimate skins, Your Shop nerfs, Skins not going on sale after years.)
also a big F for the prime gaming loot that stopped...
They want to "give" more choise to players while also being one of the few games not giving away their actual main in game currency. That's riot for you.
Some events give you two prestige skins, forget about unlocking both by playing the game you'll never have enough time to unlock them without spending real money. i want to unlock chromas for the game but the amount of time that takes i only have enough for one choma and the prestige
Same with tft tacticians. They change the tft battlepass from giving like 5 eggs per battlepass to token that you only get one egg.
This is why I'm not buying this one or the next passes to come unless they bring in more rewards or lower the price. I mean come on. It's not like it even costs 10 dollars, it's 16! 16 dollars for a lot of work and very little guaranted reward
Fact is, I haven’t done any micro transactions for about 4-5 years, I’m living clean, saving money for fancy meals from time to time and for my hobbies.
I stopped doing it not because I can’t afford to, I stopped doing it because it all felt more and more like a waste, I miss the times when a cool cosmetic in a shooter means the player have achieved something, not just being rich, and League lost it’s special place when events basically died.
I started playing league when SG Jinx launched, I didn’t know how to play through game, but I put my allowance into the trash and bought the champ plus the skin out right and started playing it, back then the events made the skin feel special, it motivates me to want to be immersed in a event, SG. Bloodmoon. Project. Poro King with the winter skins. The legendary Odyssey. And the first Spirit Blossom, which became the last event I made a purchase. The event modes or maps made it all felt like a festival, it was special.
That’s crazy the first reason you jump to is “they didn’t have them in time”.
I miss the versus events. God king Darius vs God king garden was so fun.
Even more interesting is the fact that Riot's other high grossing game, Valorant has a battlepass, which is actually half-fun to grind, has interesting rewards for both the full and the free versions. I only bought the Prestige Soul Fighter Pyke battlepass, and only because of the skin, and only after I collected enough previsional tokens. After buying, the fact that I got to have a Mythic skin for the price of an Epic seemed to be the only reward, since the only remarkable extra loot I got was a few lucky skin shards for champions I don't yet own, or didn't own at the time (Project: Varus, Dragonblade Riven, Sentinel Vayne). While when I bought a Valorant pass a year and a half ago (haven't played the game since), I got a fair few actually nice weapon skins, a ton of sprays and gun buddies, and even some well made lobby banner arts of agents I usually play, and it felt like a genuinely good bang for your buck.
It is a bit apples to oranges, because Valorant doesn't have agent skins, instead it has weapon skins (not exactly sure how that affects the interactable content for any player) Plus I think Valorant's content is a bit more fun to have. Ward skins get a bit stale after a while, and emotes also have a kind of power cap, but Valorant's spray decals can be used in many interesting ways, and that is not even all the content there is to win from the battlepasses.
yea grabs bags are the best part of the pass but for me not to fussed with prestige skins so i either go for the mythic essence and get alot of orange essence or a mythic essence skins or i get alot of orbs for skin shards for rerolls and what they should do is literally put the chromas into the store maybe like half a year after the event so u can buy the chromas at some point since not eery one can get the skins etc or maybe not want to spend tokens on chromas
Just to let you know, not all players wants the prestige skin, in example me. So, if you add the prestige skin to the past and in consequence you nerf the amount of tokens, some players are going to receive something they don't want. Also, the amount of skins that you receive in the capsule, is almost the same (I think it is more items) of what you receive for the bag.
No. The capsule does not offer more skins than a grab bag. 2. The skin should probably just be in the pass like every other game. Especially since half the time there is two prestige skins in there anyway.
Raid shadow legends sponsoring a league video
something similar happened to tft pass last set. they sold 2 passes with the value of 1 for the same price
yeah, it will happen with this pass too, split in two chapters. meh
Man... i remember years ago and it was grab bag after grab bag and getting the full pass actualy felt good.... nowadays the only reason id ever get a pass is if i wanted the event prestige skin
I used all the tokens for skin capsules, and got about 6-10 skins per pass
Legends of Runeterra: First Time?
Lor pass acutally gives u skins, skins you cant obtain later (except emporium).
Yes not animated but skin nonetheless
they also removed the tft eggs from the pass
which i was infinitly farming
Got the grind is insane It slows down the more you grind.
As a free to play person, I used to grind tokens for a little legend egg, but these days it's just been an orb and some blue essence (i don't get chests often enough for key fragments to be useful)
I really wasn't ever planning to buy any of these again but I have most mastery on kayle so when the prestige drops I just gotta do what I gotta do unless the skin is trash ofc.
Its the same with the TFT battlepass. The split up the battlepass into 2 with less rewards, no eggs etc etc. Still the price is the same. I fucking hate it.
More often than not, I buy the pass for the mythic essences and not the prestige skin
They could add a new option being a much lower amount of Mythic Essence. Like, 10 Mythic Essence for 250 tokens maybe.
Not only they nerfed rewards, but also nerfed xp gains from missions, which leads you being forced to grind out 4 more milestones with playtime to reach level 50 (essentially prestige skin).
I'm still upset project didn't get an event or better skins
The only skin I have purchased, so far, related to battle passes was the Senna Winterblessed skin.
I never liked having to buy a skin or buy the battle bass to get the full set, chroma skin and icon.
Can't wait for that MMO video
Im pretty sure they nerfed the tokens too. At some point I was able to get the mythic essence plus a chroma, and still had some to use for a orb at least, now I nearly can get the mythic esence
there used to be 2 prestige skins each pass, why is it only 1 now for past few patches
Man... playing Helldivers and going back to this, really just give us the perspect of "for the consumer, for the investors"
What is worse is that people will continue to buy this shit.
Helldivers will be the same one day. It happens to all live service games.
@@le1660 While I won't say it won't ever be like that.
It's way less likely.
Arrowhead is not open traded.
Meaning they don't answer for shareholders wanting more income out of their investment.
This is the same motive why Baldurs Gate 3 was what it was, Larian isn't open traded(even though Tencent does own a bit of it's shares).
To context compare Arrowhead's Helldivers 2 with Fatshark Darktide and you will understand what happens when a game is designed with investors in mind.
Both Fatshark and Riot are pretty much 100% owned by Tencent, which results in this absurd practice.
Shareholders when they have 50%+ of ownership of a company will force the company to turn into this greed machine.
@@le1660 I think Arrowhead is a different kind of developer. Their track record for consistency in their games is fairly good, based on a friends experience who played a lot of HD1. He loves the way this company does business, it is fair and equitable and skewed towards the player. From my experience, it seems that this is one of those high quality game studios that are making games and pushing in the direction of the player and excelling at gameplay, instead of monetization.
@Riaining7 welp seeing as how the game is more buggy after launch,and every patch fucks things up everytime, I have 0 faith. God it was so much fun 2 weeks after launch and now its just a mess. Ah well there are better games to play. Much better games lol.
I've been too busy with 1.) Hedon: Bloodrite. Jesus I forgot how much I loved boom shoots. Gonna get Ion Fury and a few others next. and 2.) Spreading managed democracy all over Bots and bugs.
Exchanging the grab bag for a capsule definitely sucks... except that one capsule gave me Peacemaker Yone, so I'd say fair trade
I mean... I wouldn't mind to get a few banners in the pass :D In High Noon as well as the current one, there aren't any at all, I believe
Ive been playing for a few months, i buy the pass just to get the champs for BE to unlock all champions faster, i find it weird that random champ shards arent just a thing you can buy in the main shop
How does this stack up against the Wildrift Wild Pass?
I remember early battlepass i got nearly 100+skin for real those where the days
I grind battlepasses to buy champion shards and disenchant them into blue essence so I can buy a lot of mystery icon chests when Essence Emporium pops up because I feel like a 'Prestige' skin aka a bleak recolor of an already existing skin has no value over legacy icons dating all the way back to 2002 😅
not to mention ALL prestige skin looks way worse than the normal verson.
Also they have seemed to nerf the mission xp for the pass. For example, on heavenscale the level 5 mission gave you 780 xp for the pass, I'm already at mission 15 of this pass and its worth 700xp. And presumely I rushed the pass the missions should seemed to only let you reach level 40 before you're forced to grind the "play league mission" for 200 xp. I thought reacting level 60 was already a massive pain in the ass. Now we got to do that for levels 40-50? Yeah i think this is the last pass I get xD.
love the extra effort on the raid shadow legends intro!
tbh, i dont even change my emotes or even use it in the game so just take them off and readd grab bag , capsule or even tokens
The mastery system rework is our only hope
Raid has gotten Necrit as well
i noticed that as well. this seasons pass wasnt too exciting or incising to get. which is sad and good. saved me some money lol
i buy the pass occasionally, and i only do it to get orbs, i never even bother looking at the banners or emotes
when you just have to search for the event in those "events" lol
i remember when the Bidie bags released. i got god given luck and ended up getting hundreds of skins
back in the day if u were grinding u could get prestige skin and mythic essence 😥
high evelyn got revolver on her lashers but instead of getting those lasher to actually shoot bullet riot just recolored the standards Q fx
I agree that Riot should put the prestige skin into the pass then maybe half the starting orbs to 2 and half the tokens throughout the pass to 1000 and I think more people would buy it because they would feel like they are working towards the Prestige skin not working towards a bunch of tokens
You spoke about skarner in the last video, mostly going over his splash art, and today his voice lines got released, and I'm....kinda mixed about them
I love a grab bag in a pass, even if i get something "poopy"
I was never this close to actually downloading RAID Shadow Legends. Kudos to you Necrit
The irony of a company that was praised for its monetization in the early 2010 and slowly started choking more and more their player base, adding terrible battle passes and more than tripling the price of their skins.
maybe seraphine mains had to right idea by life threatening the devs lol maybe they need to be threatened to stop milking us so hard
But is it still worth buying the pass value wise ? Or should i just buy a legendary skin
Not worth the time or money now. I bought many passes with the hard nerfs 2 passes in a row, i just stopped.
"Because only 3 things are certain...do you know when the best time is for a Reese's?" love the ad timing
To me Riot is in the group of companies that have too much data and not enough people generating ideas with them. I'm sure they can see that whoever purchased the pass is only interested in the prestige skin. Therefore, why even spend time and money to create the other 3 skins ?
Remove the unnecessary stuff, make the pass shorter with only 20 levels but more grindy. Each level represents 100 tokens, gives a reward equivalent to 40/50 tokens and finally unlocks the prestige skin at level 20.
Now with the money and time saved, make those guys work on other stuff that brings you money.
I always only got the passes so I could get mythic essence. But now im sitting on 325 with nothing cool to get. Without the mythic essence unless you care for one cool skin theres no point in getting the passes.
it cant be possible that you need to farm 10k tokens at high noon pass and on other more than 10k to buy everything.
They could just make it the wild rift way where you could buy other stuff with you tokens and got the special skin when you spend over x tokens but they dont seem to care
Best Raid Shadow legends intro. Actually fucking funny
now I'm missing garena where we can get 2 prestige from their own free server event
I've had to use the past 2 passes for mythic essence, just so I could get the two prestige skins I wanted
bro said that about the samira ultimate while we got that garby mf one
I don't really spends money on league (on specific skins), but I ocasionally buy the pass if I have already played a lot and would get around 2k tokens. I don't view these events as exclusive skins, more like a huge discount, because i can buy orbs with the tokens, which makes skins I get out of orbs more worth. According to Necrit, this isn't what he views the pass as, but I feel like this is another ascpect that has changed since one bag was removed and the amount of free tokens you got got also lowered. Before, you could buy 2 orbs + 1 from the pass + 1 bag. Now only 1 orb + 1 from the pass + 100 tokens (for keys, maybe). I don't really like prestige skins, I think they are a waste of money, but the tokens are a cheaper way of getting a lot of skins, which could be what Riot wants to prevent (This is only my idea).
I only bought some of the first passes, because I was really into some of the contents and themes. But I stopped once I realized some factors like: you couldn't do much besides getting the Prestige skin; you can't buy the next pass with the return of the current pass; and more importantly there are no cool content for the champions I like over and over again.
jg fiff at the end 13:01
8:10 I highly doubt people care about banners since I rarely see someone using any
Most of the times the banners I see are the ones that come with the chroma/skin or something like that
All honesty I am a religious league player since season 3 and I remember being broke so just getting the free tiers on the initial battle passes and you still got a decent level of loot, if you bought it you got a lot of loot and bonuses.
I bought the winterblessed one despite people saying it was a scam because I wanted a border, i thought though why not give us some little animated vfx on top of borders or icons instead of the same thing 3 times
Same thing steam does its not even an original idea
I had to GRIND to get just the 2200 for mythic essence
I mainly play aram the past couple years, ward skins are basically none existent.
Give us some cool things to show off in lobby, in game, client, loading screen, etc that ain’t just a $50 skin or a ranked border for people who don’t want to suffer sq.
I would love more effort put into the chromas too but riot wouldn’t see value in these things because of development time.
Oh well someday will see that it’s us gamers who keep these companies alive and start to respect our time, effort and wallet and we let help them continue running s a service
As a semi f2p player (i buy skins), I never spend on the battlepass, but I remember I used to be able to get like 3 to 4 of the event orbs but now I get like 2 or only 1 if I save for one of the chromas :/ shrug*
Man i cannot believe i watch the whole ads of raid shadow legend.
You're doing gods work necrit
I've stopped going for the prestige skin; I grind the tokens and use them to skin farm. It makes it easier. Especially if I don't care about the pskin.
Emotes are always a hit or miss.
Gonna keep refreshing for that MMO update video
I feel like they're slowly shifting to a more strict monetization system for their skins. They're making every free/cheaper option worse and worse. I won't be surprised if they even remove free skins completely and make everything else more expensive. The pass will probably just become a grind for the prestige skin and some event themed emotes.
Even league is experiencing shrinkflation.
didn't even mention the mythic essence bundle
I have been buying the pass event since 2022, but I never care about banners or the gold skins they make, mostly i enjoy random collections, which why i llike the pass event for bags and orbs, but yes since last event there were no bag, and when i checked today for the new pass, there still no bags to earn, so pointless for me to buy the pass at this stage!
Shrinkflation is so evil, Toblerone did this when they increased the space between the hills and they immediately fixed it cu, of outrage
i always just buy the mythic essence then if there's a decent prestige then id get that
