The return of the Blue Essence Emporium
The long-awaited return of the Blue Essence Emporium in League of Legends has left many players underwhelmed. The Emporium, designed to reward players who have been accumulating the in-game currency 'Blue Essence,' has returned with a series of promised improvements, but many players believe these promises have fallen short.
Depressing reality for Experienced Players
Experienced League of Legends players are well-aware of how the in-game currency piles up once all the champions are unlocked. With very few substantial ways to invest this currency, such as on rune pages or name changes, many had eagerly awaited the Blue Essence Emporium. However, the content on offer within the shop itself has been viewed as inadequate, leaving players wanting more.
Removed Features & Access Issues
While the Emporium has gone through several changes, some players have criticized the removal of certain features and items, such as mystery icon and ward skin chests. Moreover, a number of players reported difficulties in accessing the store where limited-edition chromas were also reported missing.
Disappointment over Lack of Mythic Essence
Some players also expressed disappointment over the lack of Mythic Essence, a rare currency previously earned from hours of grinding limited-time events or through purchases with paid currency. As a result, many loyal players have found themselves possess a hoard of currency with no substantial reward to spend it on.
Widespread Disappointment
These changes have left many feeling let down, particularly with the anticipation that came with the Emporium’s return. The disappointment has been widespread, with many players voicing their grievances online.
The Future of Blue Essence Emporium
As the Blue Essence Emporium now returns twice a year, it remains to be seen whether the organizers behind the game, Riot, will address these concerns and make changes to the rewards on offer in the future.
