League of Legends players are expressing strong dissatisfaction with the new 2025 Premium Battle Pass system, citing significantly reduced value compared to previous iterations.

The new "Welcome to Noxus" Premium Pass, priced at $17, offers approximately seven orbs and a few skins - substantially less than what players could earn through casual gameplay before 2025. Players report several key issues:

• Fewer rewards compared to the previous system
• Lower quality skin offerings
• Removal of free chests and orbs
• Replacement of repeatable rewards with Blue Essence
• Decreased overall value (2-3 times less than the old system)

Players are particularly frustrated by Riot Games' marketing of these changes as improvements, when the community perceives them as significant downgrades. Despite Riot's attempts to address these concerns with adjustments in early January, the changes have led many players to stop making in-game purchases.

Key Changes from Previous System:

• No more free chest earnings
• Eliminated orb rewards
• Reduced skin quality
• Limited repeatable rewards
• Higher cost for lesser value

The community consensus suggests these changes have negatively impacted the player experience and the game's reward system, marking a significant departure from League of Legends' previously praised monetization model.
