Via a new Battle Pass system introduced in the 2025 update, over the course of a calendar year, players can earn 24 champion crystals and 28,500 Blue Essence a year. Champions can range in Blue Essence cost, though more popular additions can run up to 6,300. Assuming a player exhausts all of their options, they can earn 50 Blue Essence per every level past 50 on a single pass, leading to a calculation of nearly 900 hours of in-game playtime to get a new character.



 
This article is already out of date. While it was true on launch of the new patch the developers made it clear that it was an unintended oversight from all the system changes that came with this patch and that they'll be releasing a fix.
 
Ah ok so this is about the FREE champion you get at the END of the battle pass. Wow I thought just buying one with BE was going to take that long. Still dumb esspecially with first win removed, but not as bad as the title makes it out to be. Still, bad move by RIOT imo.
