why does it take so long to level up like summoner wise not character
it's honestly an unnecessary process in which they force new people to learn nothing relevant for 29 levels of their life other than basic controls.
game is balanced around full runes and masteries, but yet they force players to play without them.
now, outright removing levels isn't necessary. giving meaningful rewards as they level up would help the game out more, and they already sort of do this anyway. at level 4 you get RP and at various levels you unlock new modes. just need to figure out what to do with runes. tier 1 and 2 runes shouldn't exist. maybe make the runes super cheap, but as the player buys more of the same kind, the price increases for that rune. anything other than "hey are you enjoying the game? i hope you're ready to forget everything as you go along. going top with your buddy? nice, why is this guy who just said 'jungle' in chat complaining though? woah how is that guy doing that thunder thing on me, i played that champ and i couldn't do that! wow this jungle thing is super hard how do people even do this. nice i'm level 30. *300 matches later* haha wow i was such a scrub before 30!"
