IP Change

All your IP will change into blue Essence

Everything in the shop will cost the same as it did before but in Blue Essence

Loot Changes

The current Blue Essence are more worth than the preSeason ones. Therefore your Blue Essences will get multiplied by 6.5. The same happens to the costs of upgrading a Champion-shard

The refund for disenchanting will not increase that much. 20% (Season 7: 33%) of the Blue Essence you would need to buy this champ

"We need to remove the ability to reroll them into permanent champs"
(you should go ahead and reroll or disenchant any shards you don't want to upgrade before preseason hits so you can get the most essence possible out of them.)

"But you'll be able to unlock Champions about as quickly as before
and at lower levels it will be faster"

You have the chance to get two drops in one chest

Never be too unlucky again -> Bad luck protection (No long streak without skin-shard or gemstone)

Leveling

Level 30 is no longer the max level

No IP after a match but an unlocked chest after level-up

Rewards based on your Level. Chest on level-up will contain:

New Runes

Runes and Masteries are getting combined into one streamlined system

Choose one primary path. Domination, Inspiration, Precision, Sorcery or Resolve. Each path will also grant a small stat benefit (e.g. attackspeed)

After choosing your path, you have 1 Keystone, 1 Major and 2 Minor Slots (Path-unique). The Keystone Rune Slot is the most powerful

Choose your secondary Path which has two slots for path-unique runes but no Keystone Rune slot
