League of Legends players still angry at grueling battle pass grind: ‘Gacha games respect your time more’
With January gone, League of Legends‘ monetization is still a hot topic. Players across social media continue to express their dissatisfaction with the game’s direction, specifically in regards to its Season 2025 progression, currency acquisition, and the lack of Hextech Chests.
One of them wrote in a Feb. 4 Reddit post how it would take them around two and a half weeks to grind out the 200 Blue Essence they need to unlock a new champion, saying how “leveling up is literally pointless” at the moment. In a reply to him, another player quipped that several “gacha games respect your time more,” which hits a bit too close to home, considering Riot Games introduced something like a gacha system of its own to League, requiring players to spend hundreds of dollars to have a guaranteed chance of obtaining the “new” and “rare” skins—which are often just rehashes of previous ones.
