Glad I bought some Hextech boxes only to get worthless champion shards

Opened 10 boxes, over half of which contained champion shards.

I own all champions.

I have 120k IP.

I have 20 rune pages and every rune that's not complete garbage like reduced time dead.

These literally do absolutely nothing. A complete waste of money.

Could you at least have the decency to make it so loyal players who unlock all champions can be guaranteed skin shards? Like, is that really so much to ask?

You gambled and you lost and now you're complaining.

Riot already stated they're going to add other uses to blue shards and a way for people to have every champion to make use of them.

Why are you buying boxes with RP when you own every champion? Like...did you not think that over for even a moment? That wasn't very smart. It's not like the potential rewards aren't clearly explained. It tells you in the Hexcrafting guide that you can get champ shards for champs you already own and that they're "looking into" potential rewards for people who own every champion.

I got lucky on my first set of chests - Challenger Ahri. Neat!

Alternatively, allow blue essence to be converted to orange essence at, say.... 5:1 ratio or something.

My personal favourite suggestion is to tie Cromas to blue essence.

From a thematic standpoint it makes 0 sense, but it would serve to fix issues for people who don't want champs and gives a reasonable way to obtain them.

Hey, be glad you got boxes at all. Still waiting on hextech crafting over here on OCEitem 3070

KEEP THOSE! You can reroll them into a champion when they get released and get them for free

I never sunk any money into the system; I know with my large roster of champions (there are only thirty I don't own), I'd never get anything out of it of use.
