THIS ENTIRE CRATE SYSTEM IS TERRIBLE

First. The box distribution is horrible as in you get a box every few days just for one single box.

Second. The KEYS NEVER DROP in the Rift or ARAM and you need 3 KEYS to make ONE KEY and between all the games played and implying you win all those games with an S rank is entirely stupid for 1 piece of a key.

Third. Gem stones. With all the above ^^^ Its total bull the rate of gemstones dropping out of the very few boxes we are given to earn.

This entire crate system is terrible.

Fixes????

Refill all 4 box slots after a weeks pass. Which i thought it would be like but its not.
GAUREENTEE A KEY FRAGMENT after any win on the Rift or Aram. Those games take way too long to do all that work and not be rewarded.
Fix the Drop rates on the gem stones. What feels like 5% chance should be at least 30% chance

Just my thoughts

EDIT: Having extra drop weekends to get more keys and boxes

I agree that key drop should be higher but you know... It is also free

There are plenty of other games that make you earn free things without torturing you.

Riot also gives lots of free things if you just share/like them on different sites. Last time I checked making something a major annoyance to get and flaying the skin off your back were two different things

You can get 3 champions and skins for free: Unchained Alistar (Youtube subscription to their channel though you need to put in a support ticket since the automated part doesn't work), RIOT Girl Tristana (Facebook), and Dreadknight Garen (Twitter).

I personally think the drops is perfectly fine as no matter what it's still something for Users who can't pay money to get cosmetics.

So you're complaining about not getting enough free stuff?

It's 4 boxes per month, not per week and it's not gonna change. And you don't have to get an S rank to get a key fragment.

The key drop needs some tuning, indeed, it's easier to get boxes than key fragments, but other than that the system is fine.

More like not getting any of the free stuff since ive won so many games and never get anything.

It's free and it's a new feature. That's like complaining about a free meal being too cold.

More like a free meal not having any substance at all and really being just an attempt to get people to glance over real problems.

A free meal is a free meal if you need it. We don't even need this feature, people have been asking for a way to get free skins and Riot finally delivered. They still need to make a profit. Honestly the only real problem with the meta in my opinion is the state of ap champions. The only ones that work are the ones that have long range and high cc, massive roaming potential.

I don't know where people are getting this sense of entitlement from... [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Umm, there are quite a few more problems than just ap champions.... Which riot appears to want to neuter the nukers even further. Which kind of ignores... Anyway not the point. Dynamic Queue is bad. Flat out. Ask most any player that used to off-support if they still play support. Or how most solo queuers don't enjoy how the quality of matches has decreased in ranked. VOIP is a much more prevalent issue than it used to be when it was restricted to duos and having casuals that don't care about winning in ranked is a rather bit more than just a headache. Where is the solo/duo queue that people want back. They are nerfing the hell out of the one ap item which gives armour. Yes i realize that they gave it cdr, but that doesn't really help that fact that ap champs lack armour in the first place while ad champs have a few still strong options to counter ap champs. The new champ select doesn't auto-lock and has gotten more than one player to stop using the pre-game chat for strategy. Riot is so concerned with getting their numbers back up that they throw this at us as an attempt at such. It doesn't have substance and is meant as a distraction from real problems while fishing for micro-transactions and getting the whales to hemorrhage for hextech annie. And they unnecessarily added a wait when the doublets are selecting champions. There are many issues they should be fixing but instead we get this pointless distraction/fishing expedition.

Additionally I don't see anything related to entitlement in my post which you most likely voted down as you are the only one to have replied to said post. The fact is that hextech crafting is an unwanted trinket provided when there are other things of more importance and actual substance which could have been addressed in it's stead.

The Hextech Craft system isnt supposed to give you 1 skin per day. It was created to incite people to buy Hextech things and/or/maybe/ throw a bone to those who dont want to.

Darkmario66Apr 11, 20162 votes

As if you could get any since the skins cost so much essence to upgrade to a permanent skin or champion.
