Right in the beginning of the month I got three key fragments from winning, and since then it's been 8 days since I've gotten one. I understand they're harder to get as you get more, but I don't think the curve for it should be that extreme.
Athenes Lulu10 votesThe better irony is when you can get more chests than key fragments in a month.

Silver Fluffenbu8 votes+1% increased chance of getting a key fragment per honor received. increased chance from honor resets on every key fragment.
The Bearded Bard14 votesIs this something that exists or something you've just made up? I assume the latter. Not a bad idea, unfortunately not many people use the honor button, and it'd probably encourage the whole 'honor for honor' thing people used to do.
Spanky Panky7 votesGot 3 key fragments within the first like 2 days of the event. Literally 0 key fragments since then, and it's been what, 2 weeks? 3? This is beyond stupid.
Marshbouy2 votessame, i have 1 key frag and 5 chests (i cri)
SpiritGear1 votesGot 3 key fragments within the first like 2 days of the event. Literally 0 key fragments since then, and it's been what, 2 weeks? 3? This is beyond stupid.
idk millions of players and they can get free skins. I don't think they are going to make key fragments rain everywhere as much as we would like it too. Although it is saddening why complain about something given to us for free.
Zarkkast6 votesThe way Riot coded this is so fucked up.
The only thing I can think is that they want us to spend RP to get keys, cause it makes absolutely no sense.
Cat Riven5 votesHextech crafting [slayer-jinx-unamused]
Jet Sett4 votesI know it's frustrating, but people are probably getting a lot of nice free things because of Hextech Crafting. I got Infernal Nasus for example, that's pretty expensive skin.
Retillin1 votesMay I ask a few questions?
Did you get your Infernal Susan from the free chest at the release of Hextech? How many boxes have you opened since then? How many boxes and how many keys have you bought?
I am sitting on 4 boxes (maybe 3 but not at home to check). I have 2 skins that need essences to unlock. That's it. I got 1 of those skins from the free chest.
Jet Sett1 votesI can't give you an exact number, but I believe the amount of rp spent on chests was 600. This was after I discovered the Infernal Nasus skin, and it was after I had spent Rp on something else entirely. I probably bought 4 keys. The hardest part is getting essences. Sorry if this doesn't help.
Retillin2 votesNot it does. But I just wanted to point out this. You have spent (let's just say) 600 RP on the boxes. It is no longer free for you. I just want to point out that getting something "free" from this crafting system is not easy. I'm not saying it should be. No problem with Riot using Hextech for cash.
You have spent $5 on a $15 dollar skin. That's kosher. Not knocking you for it. But you've also spent about $5 in keys. So you got Infernal Susan for 2/3rd the price. If you see a skin you really like, don't chase the dragon. It's much better to just buy the skin most all the time.
Riot messed up in the fact they are making Keys hard to find. They should make it so you get MORE Key's than you can use. People can only get 52 chests a year as free to play (F2P). But if they were sitting on 60+ full Keys they would most likely buy the boxes to use the keys on. In the short term, buying Keys makes good amount of money. But as people start getting less and less boxes (how many people really play 52 champs a year at a decent level even counting the friends who get you an S by their play) you will see less and less Keys bought.
Jet Sett1 votesYou make good points, also I appreciate you not judging my money spending habits, this one guy says "why spend money on a free game" and I can see some of his points, but then he goes and judges people for putting any money into the game. He's also begging me for Mecha Zero Sion for his birthday present...
Retillin1 votesLol, forget him. Get Fifth Age Taric instead.
Jet Sett1 votesNah, aside from judging your personal financial transactions, he's a pretty good guy, and I owe him a lot( not literally, but this is a gift that says "thanks for letting me live at your house for a week and use your shower" kinda thing.) so I'll get this as an early birthday present.
LankPants4 votesAs a solo player I just want Riot to normalise drop rates. I don't see why I should be punished as a Solo player by getting a single key drop in every 10 games.
The Bearded Bard2 votesI wish they'd stop making it random because clearly the RNG Gods are angry with me. 3 key fragments in 10 days is pretty ridiculous.
PDE5 Inhib1 votesI mean, even if you only get 1 free thing a month, what's the point in bitching about it?
DorkunedAuras2 votesbecause it feels like theft. If they're offering it, the pull out the rug on us, it feels a lot worse than if they never offered it at all. We should be able to have 0 chests in storage if you play enough, but I've been playing several games a day with almost no keys.
PDE5 Inhib1 votesSo wait. Getting 1 free skin a month isn't enough for you? 1 free skin a month feels like theft? Get over yourself.
Simple answer. Don't use the new Hextech crafting if you're going to bitch that IT DOESN'T GIVE YOU ENOUGH FREE SHIT.
GaleWinUnleashed3 votesGotten 6 key fragments in the last week or so. RNG.
Retillin1 votesKinda RNG. There is (or was Riot never said they fixed it) a bug that a small percent of people got shafted and received greatly reduced chance to get keys. What that % of players is, Riot didn't say.
Inphernal2 votesHow do people not realize that Riot wants people to buy keys and that's why the drop rate is low? They also put the daily limit on Hextech Bundles lower than on buying individual keys and boxes to make you spend more money. Riot is a business, not your friend. What's new?
Retillin1 votesAnd there is where Riot messed up. Instead of buying the keys they should have us buying the boxes. Think about it, you are only going to get so many boxes per year. At best you earn 52. But an unlimited number of keys (hypothetically).
Now if earned more keys than you would earn boxes, would you not be more willing to buy a box to open? As there is a limited (by their rules) boxes you get (by playing "free) it caps you out. So a F2P-er would sit on 52 boxes. But he/she could be sitting on 60+ keys per year. It increases your incentive to buy, the more you have. They just took the short term view on Hextech instead of a long term view.
TheFrozenChosen1 votesWhen this first came out I got 2 full keys in 20 wins. But I have got 1.33 keys in like the past 50+ wins now. And I thought you were supposed to get more at the beginning of the month, and it would slowly decline, then reset. But the rate just seems to keep going down.
Zeal Seeker1 votesI've gotten like a bunch in one day and none after
Xonra1 votesI've gotten 6 boxes so far for 4 key fragments (basically 1 key and an extra fragment).
So essentially 6 boxes in 2 months and still not enough keys to open jack crap.
Good thing I'm not in the hunger games, cause my odds effing suck.
Leetri1 votesReally? I get a key fragment every 2-3 wins, I've gotten 8 so far and I believe I've won ~20 games since the system was added. It's weird how much variance there seems to be in drop rates.
Mhihnj1 votesi thought the key system is busted, until i got 3 keys in four matches yesterday
elon wątroba1 votesWell I have been collecting key fragments for 2 weeks and I have unlocked alistar shard. I don't care anymore about crafting.
Weathered1 votes15 wins and counting. Still no sign of the wild hextech key.
Troll for Trump1 votesMaybe you could do a survey or something..? I got 5 in a row, and now have 7 Total from about a week and a half of playing...
NeverClarkolas1 votesIts because they want ppl to buy RP to get keys
Slack King1 votesI got 5 key fragments last night
Shadow Hazard1 votesbetter is when 4 games in a row when all your friends but you get fragments
CoolMike1271 votesI would wish that the first 3 key fragments were a little harder to get, and making the later key fragments easier to obtain. Basically, making the exponential curve for key fragments less dramatic and more smooth.
JustARivenMain1 votesIt's been 3 and 1/2 weeks and i've gotten 1 Keyfragment at the beginning of the 3 and 1/2 weeks, kill me now.
DorkunedAuras1 votesI've been sitting on 3 chests for weeks now. I get enough keys to keep it right at 3 (and I've been getting new chests on CD)
t0ad51 votesThey only screw the game up these days; why would you think they could get this right?
