League of Legends players are expressing growing frustration with the game's Season 2025 progression system and battle pass mechanics. The main points of contention center around slow currency acquisition, reduced rewards, and the removal of Hextech Chests.

Key Issues:

• Players now need approximately two and a half weeks to earn enough Blue Essence (200) for a new champion
• Level-up rewards, including Glorious Champion Capsules, have been largely removed
• The new gacha-style system requires significant real-money investment for "new" and "rare" skins
• Hextech Chests, which previously provided free skins and champions, are no longer available

Community Impact:

• Veteran players are discouraging newcomers from starting the game
• With 170 champions available, casual players struggle to unlock content
• The removal of S-rank chest rewards has significantly reduced free content acquisition
• Players report that even mobile gacha games now offer better value and respect for player time

Despite Riot's January update promising increased rewards, the community consensus is that the new system remains significantly less rewarding than its predecessor, which served the game well for nearly a decade.

Dot Esports has contacted Riot Games for comment regarding these progression system changes.
