Skin Shard Rerolls - A change is needed

So recently after painstaking months I was able to collect 3 legendary skin shards, Project Yi MasterYi , Gatekeeper Galio Galio and Star Guardian Ahri Ahri . Seeing as I own none of those champions, (even though those are some amazing skins!), I decided to reroll them. To my surprise I received Sacred Sword Janna Janna skin permanent (champ not owned). I was horribly misinformed about the reroll system and had assumed that I would at least gain a shard of similar quality or higher. Taking that epic skin shard I rerolled it again with 2 more epic skin shards to then gain a legacy skin for 750 rp which was when I lost all hope and haven't touched League since. None of this is anyone's fault other than my own, but knowing that others, like me, might feel disappointed after waiting to reroll 3 good shards together to then get similar chances of what they can get if say, they rerolled 3 750 rp skins is quite unfair/pointless.

My suggestion was to give better drops for better rerolls. Rerolling 3 legendary skin shards? Get a skin shard/have a higher chance to gain a skin shard of the same quality or at least provide chance for similar rarity items with a low rarity skin, like a hextech crafting gemstone. Reward players who have the patience to wait to reroll rather than allow them the same chance as any other reroll items. My amazing skins shards have gone down the drain, (as is the case for any who lose at gambling, which is what this system is.), but to know that it is possible to gain better reroll items by using better items should definitely be taken into consideration.

What say you?!

Disenchanting Skin Shards feels even more unfair :/

While this topic is no skin off my back cause I buy all the shit I want from Riot, my 2 cents is: You have an opportunity to obtain for free what someone else was paid good money to make for profit. I admit the odds are not ideal, but it is part of the grind. You gamble, you should expect there to be losses.

No, this is not your fault. This is RIOT's fault because they designed the fucking system. It doesn't take a brainstem to reach the conclusion that rolling higher value skins should yield a higher value reward and not a lower one. But this is Riot's way of ensuring they don't lose money by giving away too many legendary skins, since I can guarantee you at the very beginning I was rolling legendaries left and right, and even got spirit guard Udyr.

Never reroll anything above 580 OE.

You're always better off disenchanting than rerolling them.

Why are you complaining when riot gives you FREE skins ...

I had an insane luck-streak for about a month and I got 11 epic shards and 5 legendaries. It's fucking cool 'n all, but I need 19,150 OE to upgrade them all. Shit's wack yo. I can't even reroll them, because the chances of me receiving a lower quality skin is substantially higher than receiving one of equal or greater value. I can only wait to get shitty shards that I can disenchant*[sg-janna]*

Same shit happened to me... Rerolled a few skins and got SKT T1 Azir (ended up buying the champion, but still it's dumb af)

Riot keeps doing this.

People keep buying skins.

People keep buying Trial/Mission passes.

Riot is making a profit.

Why should Riot stop making a profit?

the whole system depends on luck ... it is the same system as the mystery gifting or the mystery chest which u buy from the shop... so no changes needed i guess .. if your luck is good you will get great skin if your luck is too bad you will get toxic mundo lol
