I'm not sure if you all are aware, but as of a couple days ago Riot has yet again revamped new player rewards. Previous, you'd start out and you'd get a choice between Master Yi, Darius, Ahri, Miss Fortune or Lux and then get missions to obtain them all. Whilst leveling you'd get Caitlyn, Brand and Garen along the way as shards that you could make permanant for free, or disenchant for starter Blue Essence. Which was great in itself!

Now, they have totally revamped the new player experience and getting a great start on obtaining champions with a Daily Log-In Bonus! and Levelling-up rewards!

I don't know the specifics as I'm currently away from my desktop - but for 6 days of consistently logging in you'll be prompted to choose from 3 different champions upon logging in and getting a game in. For the first day you'll get to pick between Illaoi and two other shards that you can make permanant for free, or disenchant. Next day will be Ziggs, Morgana or Brand (same deal), and all the way on day 6 you get 6300 Blue Essence for free!

Now with levelling-up you get 900 BE each level until I believe 10 (maybe 8). ARAM now unlocks sooner at level 3, and you get a nice free Poro Pals emote, and a random ward skin.

I know people like to flame Riot for being stingy with stuff (chromas, etc), but this is an incredible amount of content for new players to get a good start. Not to mention completing the Tutorial gives you 3000 Blue Essence as well.

Personally, I think this is a great move and Riot deserves a lot of well deserved thanks for this!

I'm especially glad the tutorial is reworked and it doesn't tell you to build thornmail on ashe.

Wait... so I should stop building thornmail on Ashe...? That explains why I'm so hard-stuck. :(
