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?
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.
@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.
@@МаксБурый-р2ю 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.
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.
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)
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.
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..
@@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 :("
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
@@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.
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
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.
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
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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
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. 👌🏼
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.)
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).
@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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
You know what kills games? Its not lack of content. People played WC3 for decades. It's greed. That's the only thing you need to look at to see if a game will make it for long. Greed = higher cost = lower purchase volume = more greed and so on. LoL generates WAY to much money for anyone to be able to justify removal of digital content in any way possible.
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.
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 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).
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
Never bought LoL's pass, but used to buy TFT's, now i'm going to stop with that one too, pass is shorter now, with fewer rewards but remains with same price
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.
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.
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)
Maybe they should spend resources to ACTUALLY FIX THE ISSUES WITH THE GAME. Then more people would start playing it again and spend money to cover their expenses. But it feels like they have completely embraced the downwards spiral. From ''biggest budget ever'' leading right into mass layoffs to their insistency on making communication in their game harder with every ''addition'' they make to it and just blatant lies regarding certain gameplay directions it just blows my mind how they are willingly killing their main money maker so profusely.
Just as a side note because I'm unbelievably mad about it. They actually hold the stance, no, the FIRM BELIEF that less communication leads to less frustration. Unbelievable how delusional these mfs are.
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 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 actually stopped playing league due to Riot's shitty changes to passes and monetization, their hypocrisy when saying that they listen to their community got me to quit the game
I already mostly stopped playing TFT after they nerfed the pass and made it a shitty Gacha system, and I am probably skipping this pass as well. Riot is acting like the items in their games are subject to inflation. I'm so sick of micro transactions in games being so over priced, legit buying 1 or 2 skins is equal to buying an entirely new game, and almost every game shares this model. I can afford it, but it is hard for me to justify doing it, because it doesn't make sense. I used to buy only the pass, but maybe it is time to stop spending on league all together.
As someone who bought the majority of passes over the years i can definetly say that i never once used the token for the prestige skin. I always just go for the orbs and in a very few cases one of the chromas. In my eyes 2000 tokens for the prestige skin which in 99% is just a downgrade of the original one is not worth it. Also i stopped buying them at the winterblessed event due to the constant nerfs, and after seeing this garbage im glad im glad i made the right choice
I remember when unlocking things in games was common. People got annoyed when you could pay to unlock everything, and now people are okay to pay more AND spend time unlocking it all
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
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
Imagine if the pass would technically be a discount for skins and boxes, you just have to essentially level up the pass to get them. Rather than buying the skins or boxes individually. It would be something to work towards during the event and actually rewarding.
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.
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.
I dont mind the ultimate skin not being "Up to tier." because of one thing and thats the inflation of expectation of the skins. Look at legendary skins and think "How can we make a ultimate skin without breaking visual clarity."
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
fortnite is so dope because if you buy the bp and finish it, you get a full refund and can buy the next one for free basically. its great customer retention
It doesn't matter how many or how loudly people complain if they are still buying the passes. If everyone who was upset about the changes collectively stopped giving Riot their money, over time it may do enough to cause them to reconsider. But I don't suspect any collective playerbase of a game with microtransactions and FOMO has the impulse control to do that, otherwise companies all over wouldn't be pulling this kind of stunt off cooldown.
The only reason i buy the PAss is for the Mythic Essence. The Prestige are uninteresting most of the time and i liked the Mythic Essence-exclusive Skins.
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.
I would enjoy if there were more quests in the pass. I like when it tells me to do a certain amount of magic damage or healing, it causes me to go play a mage and try a bit harder on that aspect of gameplay. I really dont like when I run out of quests and its just that lame "play and win games" infinite repeating quest. Maybe themed quests, and after a certain point instead of repeating the same one it randomly chooses from a pool? That would be nice. I also do think the prestige skin could be a part of the pass as the final award, it works kind of like that in fortnite. Maybe they could do more things like the Pride Month homeguard trails, recall animation flairs like the honor 5 one, profile borders for loading screen, etc... I cant imagine a surplus of nice cosmetics and non-skin specific effects would hurt anyone, and I think those would be cool. Hell, if those winterblessed borders weren't pretty much exactly the same and lame as hell looking, that isn't too bad of an award. Imagine like, winterblessed ice homeguard effect, or a coven skinline pentagram underneath you or something while recalling. It always feels nice to recall and have the honor level 5 thing around me lol
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
The price for these passes is still so cringe to me! Its like 1600 or smth and u cant get it for 10€! U either buy the 10€+5€ bundle or spend 20€! Very very cringe
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
After watching the video I remembered the old events league had. You know, Dark Star, Star Guardian, April fools, The versus events, etc. What were the purpose of those events? Fun. Fun gamemodes, some interesting lore, cool stuff, and at the end you had the skins and stuff you put money if you wanted to. Last year, Soul fighter managed to catch that old essence the old events and unique gamemodes had. It was so much fun. It really sucks that now we have to wait until July to get an actual event with good rewards, skins, thematic, and maybe gamemodes if we are lucky. These random events just feel so bad and just a blatant money grab scam from riot. But fuck, everything today in league feels like it NEEDS to be oriented to money. I don't care about the gamepasses, if you want to have them to get the bag so be it, but don't just make something around the concept of a gamepass, it's so bad. This is so random, but I remember watching a clip of xqc back in the day of him playing league and stating "The game has no soul" or something like that, and it hurts but it's true. We really lost old league in a bad way.
As someone who mainly plays TFT, the lack of TFT items in Battlepasses and token shops is just annoying. Like, please give us like one arena and one Legend per pass, or at least make some special TFT items purchasable with tokens.
I guess we will never get the good old days where you get the border for buying the skin in the first 2 weeks of it being released instead of having to buy that specific skin, and then paying another 1650rp to buy the pass to get the border😢
As a whale who owns every purchasable skin I was pretty happy about OE being replaced in passes. That was completely useless for me. I really enjoyed "fresh" rewards like titles or banners. The fact that they removed even that will make me NOT purchase the pass for the first time. I will not support changes like these.
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!
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

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.
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
@@МаксБурый-р2ю 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
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 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!
Dont forget, the Twitch loot is gone as of this month as well.
amazon?
that's not on Riot side
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 thought I was safe, Necrit was my hallow bastion, but even he can't escape the raid, the shadow, and the legends.
Raidy Shady!
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
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.
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 😂
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.
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
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. 👌🏼
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.)
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
also a big F for the prime gaming loot that stopped...
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
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.
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.
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.
I miss the versus events. God king Darius vs God king garden was so fun.
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
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.
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.
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.
Raid shadow legends sponsoring a league video

Thanks
Legends of Runeterra: First Time?
Lor pass acutally gives u skins, skins you cant obtain later (except emporium).
Yes not animated but skin nonetheless
You know what kills games? Its not lack of content. People played WC3 for decades.
It's greed. That's the only thing you need to look at to see if a game will make it for long. Greed = higher cost = lower purchase volume = more greed and so on.
LoL generates WAY to much money for anyone to be able to justify removal of digital content in any way possible.
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.
More often than not, I buy the pass for the mythic essences and not the prestige skin
Same with tft tacticians. They change the tft battlepass from giving like 5 eggs per battlepass to token that you only get one egg.
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.
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).
Can't wait for that MMO video
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
That’s crazy the first reason you jump to is “they didn’t have them in time”.
Never bought LoL's pass, but used to buy TFT's, now i'm going to stop with that one too, pass is shorter now, with fewer rewards but remains with same price
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.
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.
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)
Maybe they should spend resources to ACTUALLY FIX THE ISSUES WITH THE GAME. Then more people would start playing it again and spend money to cover their expenses. But it feels like they have completely embraced the downwards spiral. From ''biggest budget ever'' leading right into mass layoffs to their insistency on making communication in their game harder with every ''addition'' they make to it and just blatant lies regarding certain gameplay directions it just blows my mind how they are willingly killing their main money maker so profusely.
Just as a side note because I'm unbelievably mad about it. They actually hold the stance, no, the FIRM BELIEF that less communication leads to less frustration. Unbelievable how delusional these mfs are.
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.
Best Raid Shadow legends intro. Actually fucking funny
"Because only 3 things are certain...do you know when the best time is for a Reese's?" love the ad timing
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 actually stopped playing league due to Riot's shitty changes to passes and monetization, their hypocrisy when saying that they listen to their community got me to quit the game
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 already mostly stopped playing TFT after they nerfed the pass and made it a shitty Gacha system, and I am probably skipping this pass as well. Riot is acting like the items in their games are subject to inflation. I'm so sick of micro transactions in games being so over priced, legit buying 1 or 2 skins is equal to buying an entirely new game, and almost every game shares this model. I can afford it, but it is hard for me to justify doing it, because it doesn't make sense. I used to buy only the pass, but maybe it is time to stop spending on league all together.
As someone who bought the majority of passes over the years i can definetly say that i never once used the token for the prestige skin. I always just go for the orbs and in a very few cases one of the chromas.
In my eyes 2000 tokens for the prestige skin which in 99% is just a downgrade of the original one is not worth it.
Also i stopped buying them at the winterblessed event due to the constant nerfs, and after seeing this garbage im glad im glad i made the right choice
Exchanging the grab bag for a capsule definitely sucks... except that one capsule gave me Peacemaker Yone, so I'd say fair trade
I remember when unlocking things in games was common. People got annoyed when you could pay to unlock everything, and now people are okay to pay more AND spend time unlocking it all
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
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
my condolences about the league mmo.
Imagine if the pass would technically be a discount for skins and boxes, you just have to essentially level up the pass to get them. Rather than buying the skins or boxes individually. It would be something to work towards during the event and actually rewarding.
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
I'm still upset project didn't get an event or better skins
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.
The mastery system rework is our only hope
Riot: shitting on the players' heads once again
Players: we need more copium to live
Got the grind is insane It slows down the more you grind.
They could add a new option being a much lower amount of Mythic Essence. Like, 10 Mythic Essence for 250 tokens maybe.
I was never this close to actually downloading RAID Shadow Legends. Kudos to you Necrit
they also removed the tft eggs from the pass
which i was infinitly farming
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
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.
I dont mind the ultimate skin not being "Up to tier." because of one thing and thats the inflation of expectation of the skins. Look at legendary skins and think "How can we make a ultimate skin without breaking visual clarity."
I'll be honest, I despised the pass from the millisecond I noticed it doesn't give you money back on maxing it out.
I do not pay subscriptions.
Shrinkflation is so evil, Toblerone did this when they increased the space between the hills and they immediately fixed it cu, of outrage
Someone else think the sell of RIOT to a chinese company was a HUGE mistake? :)
Yeah soon we gona have credit scores like in China when vanguard realises were if they dont like u you gona be perma stuck im losers quea :DD
And that Chinese company is known for beeing greedy
Riot themselves are plenty greedy & awful
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
Guys they need all the support, it's just a small game company .
i remember when the Bidie bags released. i got god given luck and ended up getting hundreds of skins
fortnite is so dope because if you buy the bp and finish it, you get a full refund and can buy the next one for free basically. its great customer retention
It doesn't matter how many or how loudly people complain if they are still buying the passes. If everyone who was upset about the changes collectively stopped giving Riot their money, over time it may do enough to cause them to reconsider. But I don't suspect any collective playerbase of a game with microtransactions and FOMO has the impulse control to do that, otherwise companies all over wouldn't be pulling this kind of stunt off cooldown.
The only reason i buy the PAss is for the Mythic Essence. The Prestige are uninteresting most of the time and i liked the Mythic Essence-exclusive Skins.
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.
I would enjoy if there were more quests in the pass. I like when it tells me to do a certain amount of magic damage or healing, it causes me to go play a mage and try a bit harder on that aspect of gameplay. I really dont like when I run out of quests and its just that lame "play and win games" infinite repeating quest. Maybe themed quests, and after a certain point instead of repeating the same one it randomly chooses from a pool? That would be nice. I also do think the prestige skin could be a part of the pass as the final award, it works kind of like that in fortnite. Maybe they could do more things like the Pride Month homeguard trails, recall animation flairs like the honor 5 one, profile borders for loading screen, etc... I cant imagine a surplus of nice cosmetics and non-skin specific effects would hurt anyone, and I think those would be cool. Hell, if those winterblessed borders weren't pretty much exactly the same and lame as hell looking, that isn't too bad of an award. Imagine like, winterblessed ice homeguard effect, or a coven skinline pentagram underneath you or something while recalling. It always feels nice to recall and have the honor level 5 thing around me lol
high evelyn got revolver on her lashers but instead of getting those lasher to actually shoot bullet riot just recolored the standards Q fx
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
The price for these passes is still so cringe to me! Its like 1600 or smth and u cant get it for 10€! U either buy the 10€+5€ bundle or spend 20€! Very very cringe
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
love the extra effort on the raid shadow legends intro!
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
Honestly the part I paid attention to the most was the fact that he got sponsored by raid shadow legends
Guess what's the worst part of all this? I'll end up buying it and just farm for it anyway
After watching the video I remembered the old events league had. You know, Dark Star, Star Guardian, April fools, The versus events, etc. What were the purpose of those events? Fun. Fun gamemodes, some interesting lore, cool stuff, and at the end you had the skins and stuff you put money if you wanted to.
Last year, Soul fighter managed to catch that old essence the old events and unique gamemodes had. It was so much fun. It really sucks that now we have to wait until July to get an actual event with good rewards, skins, thematic, and maybe gamemodes if we are lucky. These random events just feel so bad and just a blatant money grab scam from riot. But fuck, everything today in league feels like it NEEDS to be oriented to money. I don't care about the gamepasses, if you want to have them to get the bag so be it, but don't just make something around the concept of a gamepass, it's so bad.
This is so random, but I remember watching a clip of xqc back in the day of him playing league and stating "The game has no soul" or something like that, and it hurts but it's true. We really lost old league in a bad way.
As someone who mainly plays TFT, the lack of TFT items in Battlepasses and token shops is just annoying. Like, please give us like one arena and one Legend per pass, or at least make some special TFT items purchasable with tokens.
I guess we will never get the good old days where you get the border for buying the skin in the first 2 weeks of it being released instead of having to buy that specific skin, and then paying another 1650rp to buy the pass to get the border😢
As a whale who owns every purchasable skin I was pretty happy about OE being replaced in passes. That was completely useless for me. I really enjoyed "fresh" rewards like titles or banners. The fact that they removed even that will make me NOT purchase the pass for the first time. I will not support changes like these.
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!
I used all the tokens for skin capsules, and got about 6-10 skins per pass
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
