Looting Skins

Built to Tylt·Feb 3, 2017·1 votes·997 views

I had previously submitted a bug report for this but have heard NOTHING back on it. Has anyone experienced this or know how to go about resolving (if possible)?

I forged a key, and unlocked a few chests. Afterwards, I rerolled 3 shards into a random permanent skin. Now, I remember it specifically stating that it will not award you skins for champions you DO NOT OWN. So what did it do? Award me for one I do not own. Okay, I was annoyed, but then went to reroll it again, since it listed the option, but it is asking for THREE MORE SKINS.

WHAT IS THIS? Did this change? I would love to get some official answer on this. It's so difficult to get keys as it is, I would hate to think this is just another sink... Is this working as intended?

I thought I had seen that it would not award skins for champions that you didn't own as well, but I have heard otherwise.

I own all available champions on this account, so it doesn't make much difference to me anymore, but I have a newer account.

Do you know where you saw the statement about rerolling not granting skins for champions not owned?

Could you link it?

Probably unable to link it anymore, as it was when it was first introduced. :/ But of all the things I've unlocked, this is the first time it's given me a permanent skin for something I've not owned. Skin fragments make sense because those are just components, but an actual finished product? Seems ridiculous to me, but it's probably part of the money-making system. This is first time I've tried to unlock a perm skin since they've allowed you to 'buy' keys, so perhaps the change was introduced then...

I got a skin for champ I dont own 4 times in a row so its probably false information.

I'm 100% sure that it gives any champion skin, doesn't , matter if you own the champion or not. And yes if you want to reroll a skin permanent you have to get 2 more skin shards ( 2, not 3 since you already have one - your skin permanent that you got earlier). Its not a bug.
