Why you aren't getting much keys

I've seen a lot of people complain about it, but I've found the answer. Riot has put it on a linear chance, meaning that it scales down each time you get one. Once you get a certain number of them, the chances of you getting another gets EXTREMELY low. Appeantly there is a limit, but for right now we don't know what it is. It could be 5% or it could be 0.00000001%. However the good news is it resets every month, so your chance goes back to normal.

I personally would really like for riot to make those numbers visable. Especially the month thing, just like the boxes are. I want to see when my percentage is at its peak to earn, and what that percentage is like they do with the boxes.

Posted here as well to hope a rioter sees this.

Hmm, this has inspired me to create a new little formula for about how likely they are. I'd estimate you get about this much of a chance for a key drop, from what I've seen thus far:

key number chance 1 40% 2 35% 3 30% 4 25% 5 20% 6 15% 7 10% 8 5% 9+ 1%

And your chances are increased multiplying by about 1.25 for each extra person you queue up with. But this part especially is not exact.
