Riot Games has announced a major update to League of Legends' champion pricing structure, cutting the Blue Essence cost of all champions by 50%. This significant change aims to make champion acquisition more accessible for both new and veteran players.

Key Changes:

• All champion prices reduced by 50% in Blue Essence
• Hextech Chests returning to the game
• Increased Blue Essence rewards from battle pass
• Players who purchased champions in Patch 25.4 can request partial Blue Essence refunds

These updates come as a response to community feedback following earlier changes to the Blue Essence system, which had made champion acquisition more challenging. The previous system relied heavily on Riot Points and seasonal battle passes, while also removing discounted rates from champion shards.

Studio head Andrei "Meddler" van Roon confirmed that recent champion purchasers can contact player support for refunds, ensuring no players miss out on the new pricing structure.

The League community has responded positively to these changes, particularly praising the improved accessibility of the champion roster. Combined with the return of Hextech Chests, these adjustments represent Riot's efforts to rebuild player trust and enhance the overall League of Legends experience.
