Half the price, all the hype: Riot halves costs for all League champions

After listening to players, Riot Games is cutting champion prices and bringing back Hextech chests, so you can fill your roster and your inventory without too much grind. In a major update announced today, the Blue Essence cost for all League of Legends champions will be halved.
This announcement comes as part of a broader set of changes Riot is implementing to rebuild player trust and improve the overall League experience. Alongside the Blue Essence price cut, Hextech chests are making a comeback after widespread community backlash over their removal. Combined with the increase in Blue Essence rewards from the pass, these adjustments mark a significant improvement to champion acquisition speed for both veteran and new players—but mostly for the latter.
