Riot Games has announced a major update to League of Legends' champion pricing structure, cutting the Blue Essence cost of all champions by 50%. This change comes as part of broader initiatives to improve player experience and accessibility.

Key Changes:

• All champion prices reduced by 50% in Blue Essence
• Hextech Chests returning to the game
• Increased Blue Essence rewards from battle pass
• Partial Blue Essence refunds available for recent champion purchases during Patch 25.4

These updates address community concerns following earlier changes to the Blue Essence system that made champion acquisition more challenging. Players particularly criticized the removal of discounted rates from champion shards and the shift toward Riot Points purchases.

League studio head Andrei "Meddler" van Roon confirmed that players who recently purchased champions can contact player support for partial refunds, ensuring fairness during this transition.

The community has responded positively to these changes, with many calling it one of the best recent updates to the game. The reduced prices and return of Hextech Chests particularly benefit new players looking to expand their champion roster.
