New season new chests.
So I guess I should just get straight to the point. Also tldr: I do not like getting permanent emotes from chests I get from getting an S in a game. I enjoy getting champion shards and skins and ward skins. All game play relevant rewards. I don't have all the champs yet and I'd enjoy unlocking a new one a little quicker. I don't have that many skins, getting more is awesome! I only have the season rewarded ward skin, so more of those would be fun. But it feels pretty bad getting a permanent emote. I would rather have the option to disenchant it for orange essence or have it permanently. I have a kayn skin from a chest that I'd like to unlock, but I'm not sure how long that'll take when orange essence disenchants yield so little, so every little bit counts!
I'd like to get rewards that feel rewarding. An emote while others probably find pretty cool I consider to be non-impactful. They don't contribute to my eagerness to play. Getting a new champion is fun to play and try out. A new skin is pretty hype, and I'm drawn to play that champion more. Ward skins are cool, diversifying the wards on the map (even though I'm the only one putting down any). Emotes... bleh. I'm not excited to try them out in a game, and often I'm just going to forget I have them. They don't contribute to my enjoyment of the game.
