The Blue Essence Emporium will return in April 2025, offering players the opportunity to purchase exclusive items and rare skins using Blue Essence instead of paid currency. This marks its first appearance since June 2024.
These changes aim to maintain League's free-to-play model while creating a more rewarding experience for players. The new battle pass system specifically addresses concerns about skin quality and progression difficulty, making the overall gaming experience more enjoyable and accessible for all players.
