there is no f any way to get orange essence at all
or you need to break your skin shard
it's like riot gives you ripped money and you collect them or pay money to buy it then ..
you pay again to make a ripped money to a real one
F king waste !
So.. Don't buy chests with RP? Buy actual skins? Or stay honourable and never pay a cent for skins?
The whole point of the Hextech system in terms of skins wasn't meant to be an easy way to get a ton of free skins, but rather a system that allowed us to occasionally get those skins without having to spend money. Nothing is making you buy the chests or keys, that's all up to the player and how they want to go about using the system.
Sure you could straight up buy a ton of chests and keys to get skin shards to re-roll, but at the same time Riot implemented a system to earn the chests and keys through playing and good behavior.
Riot can't just constantly give out mass amounts of orange essence to players (Riot would be losing out on money), the whole system itself is an, albeit very slow, alternative to buying RP to purchase skins and I think that it is a good thing that Riot did in implementing it.
Skins used to be only available through money. Orange Essence is a way of getting free content that didn't need to be made available. Sure, it's not as fast or as easy as some would like, but it's supposed to be a perk that Riot sacrifices some income to give to players, NOT a replacement for actually buying content. This is why it's randomized, and why you can't buy every skin you get but have to pick and choose which to disenchant for essence.
Frankly, earning essence by disenchanting skins is strictly superior to gaining random amounts of orange essence and fewer skin shards, as then you'd have less choice of shards.
If I get one shard and 1000 essence, I have one choice of skin. If that 1000 essence comes from disenchanting six shards, then I have a total of SEVEN skins to choose from, and I can disenchant the ones I don't want to build the one I do want.
