Riot Games Addresses League of Legends Reward System Errors with Upcoming Fixes

Developers admit miscalculations in Blue Essence and XP systems slowed progression and promise adjustments in future patches.

Riot Games acknowledged significant errors in League of Legends' new reward system, which unintentionally slowed player progression and reduced Blue Essence earnings.
The issues primarily affected high-engagement players, with some seeing Blue Essence earn rates drop by as much as 71%, and leveling up to ranked play slowed by 30%.
Riot plans to increase Blue Essence rewards on the free battle pass track and boost account XP rates by 40% in patches 25.S1.2 and 25.S1.3.
To compensate players retroactively, a one-time mission granting 4,250 Blue Essence will be introduced in patch 25.S1.3.
Developers are investigating how these errors occurred and aim to prevent similar issues in the future while responding to player feedback on further adjustments.
