That was a mistake. It's free stuff. You should act like Hextech is the 5 cent toy that comes with the Happy Meal.

I actually bought the 1975 RP 11 Chest "Deal".

I got 6 Champion Shards that I have no use for. [I don't own all the champions but I'm not in the habit of buying champions I won't play. I'm sitting on 26K IP.]

I got 1 Ward Skin that I had no intention of ever getting.

I got 3 Skin Shards for Champions I did not own.

I got 1 Skin Shard I could actually use.

So... for $15 I was able to craft a 750 RP skin for "free".

Mystery gifting skins to yourself is the better option than praying for favorable Hextech RNG.

More like a cheap lottery ticket. You see some people win $5, maybe even $10 or $20, but you win nothing and most people win nothing.

I know, they really need to take another look at this feature. It's nice to get any skin for about 195 RP or for free. But the key frag drop is way to low. It's weird how that affects certain players, I still haven't gotten a key frag in weeks.

It feels more like "Account bound luck" I got like 3 or 4 in 1 or 2 days, but for like 2 weeks straight. Nothing...just sadness and 5 locked chests ;-;

It is really weird tho, I can never tell if they try to hold out on the dropping of keys, but I would think that makes sense cus giving away free thing isn't very Riot like, but there will be days were ill get 4 keys one after another.

Weird, I get mostly key fragments and I get at least one every two days at minimum, sometimes three per day for a whole key.

I've had decent luck with it, although I tend to play normals and ARAMs with 2 friends. I'm not sure if that increases the odds of finding things, but I've usually been able to get about 1 key about every 3 days. Boxes seem to drop fairly often too, but I think they may be tied to S scores on a single champion. I don't always play the same one or two champions.

I got the Lunar Wraith Morgana from the tester "here's how it works" pack, then was also able to craft Super Galaxy Rumble by disenchanting a few other skin shards. I own all the champions and so far only one of the 5 boxes contained a champion shard.

My friend traded 3 champion skins for 100 CHAMPION SHARDS

he shut off his computer mid skype

those skins combined were worth around 500 champion shards

I didn't get a fragment for over a month...then boom, 3 fragments in 3 norms....the logic

It's hard to complain about a system that gives players access to all kinds of skins without paying into it, so I won't.

That said, I agree the drop rate on keys are a bit low, even with the resets

I see a lot of potential for this system, and look forward to seeing what they do about the champion shards.
