Premium Chest???

Swifti··2 votes·18,289 views

So. A few months ago, I created a new account (actually it's the account on which I'm log on to write this), had Evelynn (my favorite champion) and Twitch, and then, the hextech patch came (or whatever, I don't remember the timeline), and so I opened the free premium chest and got masquerade Evelynn, a legacy skin. I was so happy, got her to mastery 7, but I eventually got banned due to my behavior. I thought back then that the skins we got from chests (even premium) were pure random, and that I had just got super lucky.

So I decided to create a new account, bought singed because I felt like it, and got a singed skin from the premium chest. Then I knew it couldn't really be random, and did my research and found that it is common knowledge that the premium chest gives you a skin of a champion you own.

So then I decided to create another account so that I could buy Evelynn so that I could have a skin of her again..... I happened to unlock the chest feature right before I bought Evelynn, then I opened the chest and boom, a damn Varus skin (which I didn't own)........ It got me mad as Evelynn was the only champ I owned when I opened the chest, but I convinced myself that it must have been because I bought Evelynn after acquiring the premium chest (still before opening it).

So then I decided to create ANOTHER account so that I would buy Evelynn BEFORE reaching lvl 5, so that the chest would give me an Evelynn skin. But my account glitched or whatever (I don't recall reaching lvl 5 but when I log on one day I was lvl 5 with 0 exp), but still bought Evelynn even though I had already acquired the chest, I then opened the chest and BOOM, an Hecarim skin (no, I did not own him).

So then I yet decided to create ANOTHERRR account on which I would definitely buy Evelynn before reaching lvl 5 (did I tell you Evelynn is my favorite champ?). And I succeeded! I played 1 game per day for first wins, and got Evelynn at lvl 4 (that was yesterday). I then reached lvl 5 today, and when I went to open the chest BOOM, there's an error on rito's side that makes me unable to open it. I passed all day trying to open the damn chest and it wasn't opening. Then, when I came back from restaurant a few hours ago, I tried to open the chest.... And it worked!!! And guess what? I got a Mordekaiser skin, wooooo, exactly what I was NOT aiming for.

So all that story for one thing. DOES THE DAMN PREMIUM CHEST REALLY GIVE YOU A SKIN FOR A CHAMP YOU OWN!??!? EVERY source I found on the internet says so. But 3 times in a row it doesn't. The only actual rito staff member that said anything about it talked about that skin being "semi-random" (his words), I dont remember where. What the hell does that mean??? I haven't seen a single person with my problem, everyone I read about said they succeeded into getting a skin of the champion they own.

What the hell is wrong!?!!?!??!!?!?!?!??? Can someone from riot say clearly if THE PREMIUM CHEST REALLY GIVES A SKIN OF A CHAMPION YOU OWN 100% OF THE TIME???

I'm running out of summoner name ideas, and goddamn e-mail addresses. The first account of my story is actually my 6th account btw, and I'm sick and tired of creating new smurfs.

Thank you for reading the story of my life. Yes, Evelynn is my life, rito give me my damn Eve skins.

Or you could have bought every eve skin with the value of the glorious amount of time you wasted..

That's what I thought, though I want my Masquerade skin back, which is unbuyable but lootable.

There's a bug with those chests right now, you'll need to submit a Support Ticket to have them assist you manually for the moment.

There's a bug right now? The first of the 3 accounts was created more than a month ago!

It's a glitch caused from the new client.

No, I've always kept legacy client. I think you just didn't read anything that I said, I'm not complaining about not being able to open the chest, that was fixed for me. I'm complaining about not getting a skin for a champion I own from the premium chest.

But it's caused because of the new client. They have pretty much phased out the Legacy client so anything that happens on the new client affecting in-game systems (such as Hextech) still does have a backlash towards the Legacy version.

So again, the chest is bugged in the system that's all. They used to also give out a chest that was supposed to give us Garen & Ashe plus enough essence to make them and one skin but it doesn't send that out anymore on either client. I know this cause I leveled a smurf to 5 and got 1 chest with random content.

I did get Garen & Ashe and all that stuff in a second chest, on all my accounts.

Well I didn't on 2 of them that I did, so it's all very buggy :P Once the legacy is shut down completely though in a few days I'm sure they will focus more on fixing those things.

Evelynn is so fucking trash though.

Play Aatrox instead.

You can only get skins worth 975 rp and nothing else from that champ. If he has no 975 rp skin then you dont get it from him
