‘League Of Legends’ Fans Angry Over New Battle Pass And Champ Unlocks

League of Legends Fans are unhappy with changes to the game’s rewards, including the ability to unlock new champions without spending money in the new season.

When new season has started a few days ago the reaction was surprisingly positive, which is ultimately one of the the smallest new seasons. The map changes were generally well received, the new epic monster Atakhan was already a fan favorite, and everything seemed to be going well. But after a few days, players realize that it is now more difficult than ever to unlock new champions for free.

Having previously earned enough in-game currency to buy a new champion from League of Legends store or earning an in-game item that would allow them to be unlocked for free wasn’t too much of a challenge if you were a regular player. But with Riot’s decision to remove many of these systems in favor of more traditional Battle Passes, players have found it incredibly difficult to earn champions for free.

There is no exact data on how many champions you can unlock with the Battle Pass, as the guaranteed rewards are still only Champion Capsules, which can give a random reward associated with a random champion, so one for a champion you don’t want might it won’t work out. be especially useful. But even if things go your way, the mathematicians believe that you’ll still have to struggle to unlock as many champions in this new season as in previous ones.

A big topic of conversation has been the fact that once you complete the base 50 levels of the Battle Pass, it will likely take you over 800 hours to earn enough in-game currency through recurring rewards to have enough to unlock a new champion.

Many fans took to social media to complain about the changes and how difficult it is now for players to unlock champions for free. League of Legends The subreddit is full of people talking about these changes, as well as complaining that the value of this Battle Pass overall seems to be significantly less than the previous ones.

Andrei “Riot Meddler” van Roon, head of League Studio, said on X that the team is looking into reports that it is now harder to unlock champions using Blue Essence, the in-game currency you can earn, as it shouldn’t be. there were cases. However, it appears that other factors that make champions more difficult to unlock are in place and will continue to be present.

Some fans are calling everyone League of Legends champions should be made free to play, just like Dota 2 did since its launch. However, the fact that champions are likely still making Riot a ton of money, as well as the important deal the company has struck with Microsoft to allow all PC Game Pass subscribers to unlock all champions as part of their subscription, means that this is unlikely.
