League of Legends players are expressing strong disappointment with the new 2025 Premium Battle Pass system, citing significantly reduced value compared to previous iterations. Here's what's changed:
Key Issues with the New Premium Pass:
- Fewer rewards than the previous system (approximately 7 orbs and limited skins)
- Lower quality skin offerings
- Base price of $17 for non-bundled version
- Removal of free chests and orbs
- Repeatable rewards now only grant Blue Essence instead of valuable items
Player Feedback:
- Previous pass system offered 2-3 times more value
- Grinding for repeatable rewards no longer worthwhile
- Premium "Welcome to Noxus" pass contents deemed unsatisfactory
- Players report feeling misled by Riot's marketing of the changes
Despite Riot Games implementing adjustments to the pass system in early January 2025, the community remains unsatisfied with the changes. Many players have reportedly stopped making purchases in response to these modifications.
