Honor Capsules Deliberately Cheap?

ForFoxSakes··13 votes·1,025 views

Have only received 2 champ shards from honor capsules, first was Nunu and now Ashe, both of which are 450 IP champs and DE into 87 Blue Essence. Unlike Hextech Chests the super cheap champs don't come with additional BE.

Many other posts on here http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/features/honor-capsule-update-delivers-new-drop-rate in the comments with A LOT of players getting only 450 IP champs of Yi, Kayle, Nunu, Sivir, Warwick etc.

Also the Key Frags are literally a disguised scam. You dont get more key frags overall as a result of these capsules, you just get more at once with the same limit cap on them. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/help-support/M5pvJwUZ-honor-capsules?comment=0000

Can't even claim new players need these champs bc Ashe and Garen come in your first box while leveling, then you need to play quite a bit to even get to honor 3 at which you should have those champs

So this means the capsules only really give you 87 BE as a bonus since pretty much everyone has the 450 IP champs. Great

EDIT - If you've received a capsule, please at least post which champ shards you received in this thread to see if it really as that rampant.

For reference 450 IP champs are:

  1. Amumu
  2. Annie
  3. Ashe
  4. Garen
  5. Kayle
  6. Master Yi
  7. Nunu
  8. Poppy
  9. Ryze
  10. Singed
  11. Sivir
  12. Soraka
  13. Warwick

I only got 1 honor capsule so far and it was indeed a 450 IP champ (Master Yi).

There are 138 champs available and only 13 champs are 450 IP (around 10% of all champs). Hence, I too have the same feeling that they increase the odds of us getting 450 or 1300 champs in honor capsule.

Edit: I went to youtube and searched for videos of people opening their honor capsules and guess what: most of them (~90%) got 450 IP champs (e.g. Nunu, Annie, Kayle, Master Yi)

I've gotten 3-4 capsules now but I forget all the shards I got cause I already broke them down [sg-miss-fortune]

I've gotten about 3 or 4 capsules I believe. Cool, unexpected, and a little boost to my inventory.

I wish this post would have gotten more attention because it's seriously messed up. I think both of my capsules contained 450 champs (like ashe and annie i think)

Extra fragments are the main thing from them, and champ shards (at least until preseason) are useful for rerolling.

Capsules count as 1 fragment, with extras inside the capsule not counting against your limit. Your linked thread on the matter has the support rioter clarifying things in a follow up post, although I suppose that clarification may have come after your made this thread.

No, Riot Games is a Generous company, there is no way they inject a code that gives you a %99 chance to get a 450 ip champ shards and %1 chance to get above 450 ip champs, and maybe 5 key fragments and maybe very expensive and beautiful twitch and warwick skins. They wouldn't do that, they love their community, they would not treat us like we are only banknotes or bank account numbers. They consider us as real human beings with feelings. Oh, wait..
