Riot Games Working to Make Blue Essence More Valuable
Riot Games acknowledges that the value of Blue Essence earned by playing League of Legends diminishes over time for players with older accounts. To address this issue, Riot is actively working on a solution to make Blue Essence more meaningful in the long run.
The Importance of Blue Essence in League of Legends
Blue Essence is one of the currencies in League of Legends and is relatively easy to earn. Initially, it is crucial for unlocking champions and expanding your champion pool. However, as your account and collection of champions grow, the value of Blue Essence decreases.
Riot’s Efforts to Fix the Issue
Recognizing the problem, Riot is committed to rectifying the situation. Reddit user BarackProbama, who claims to be associated with Riot, stated that the developers are aware of the issue with Blue Essence. They are actively seeking a long-term solution instead of relying solely on the temporary Blue Essence Emporium.
Drawbacks of the Blue Essence Emporium
The Blue Essence Emporium is one way to spend Blue Essence on chromas and icons. However, it has limitations. Not all chromas are available, and the Emporium is not always accessible throughout the year. Some players have expressed disappointment with the lack of significant changes and suggested a decrease in its value.
Another concern for players is Riot’s decision to remove the ability to change their Summoner Name, which was one of the few uses for Blue Essence. This further diminishes the importance of the currency for players.
The Future of Blue Essence
Players are now questioning how Riot will make Blue Essence more meaningful when its value is already being reduced. Fans of League of Legends hope that Riot introduces alternative ways to spend Blue Essence soon, especially as inventories continue to accumulate with this currency that is becoming less useful.
